54 Aug 22 Reply Thanks, Alan!
I didn't perceive the fish's gear as udders, but I can understand how someone could view it as such, especially if you're not very familiar with steampunk. Still, it works for me.
Thanks for the insight. 		Aug 17th

54 Aug 22 Comment This is a very cool image, Brad!
I love the colors and the artistic filter you added. I never thought of stamen as looking like candle wicks before, but now that I've seen this I completely believe it.

I can't add to the excellent suggestions the others have given. 		Aug 13th
54 Aug 22 Comment Such a colorful and vibrant image! I love that fence, so perfectly receding into the distance, with its neat little shadow at its many feet. The bright pink spot in the upper left not only provides a light source for the shadow, but I think adds balance to the colorful fence and the composition as a whole.

I really like the shadow of the fairy just above the fence shadow. For me, the angle of the fairy who is creating the fairy doesn't seem to line up with the shadow, given where the light is.
Personally, I would consider removing that fairy (but keeping her shadow) and the large one on the right. For me, the fallen fairy and the one above her are the ones telling the story, and the fence and pink light are part of it. 		Aug 13th
54 Aug 22 Comment Such an imaginative image!
I love the power and texture of the water and the flow of the spray. I really like the way the spray bursts through the frame.
The frame and having a cormorant on the surfboard add an interesting surreal aspect that I think works really well.

You might want to consider not warping the bird; to me, the original pose looks like it's just trying to keep its balance when it's on the board. For me, the water at the bottom doesn't really add to the story, and a crop lets me see the bird more clearly. 		Aug 13th
54 Aug 22 Comment I really love your updated image, Kirsti! It feels very magical to me. I love the way the netting drapes over the front of the scene.
How did you select just the net when you added it? It looks as if you shot it there in front of the sea.
I keep thinking of a story with this - is the man releasing the balls of energy from the net, or is he luring them near to catch them? He looks so intent, which makes me think he knows exactly what he is doing here.

I love this updated image just as it is. 		Aug 13th
54 Aug 22 Comment This made me laugh out loud, Aavo!
The body language and expressions on both of the girls' faces really fit the story. I like how you placed the tape at different parts of the younger girl's legs, as if put on in a hurry. The highlights on the tape were a good addition.

I agree with Maria's suggestion about reconciling the tonality of the elements and adding more shadow. An alternative to using levels might be to add a filter. Here's an example, using the Color Lookup adjustment layer, with "Fuji 125 Kodak 2395" selected. 		Aug 13th
