I think this image is really intriguing, Brad. You've blended all the elements beautifully. For me, the version with the fox is more interesting because the fox feels more actively connected to the man than the monkey. I think the orange of the fox is a nice connection to the orange in the structure. I. really like how the structure blends with the stairs.
I like the suggestions to extend the staircase in a vanishing way, partly because then it opens up the possibility that the fox will get there in time to join the man. For me, it feels like there's a friendly bond between them.
Personally, I like to correct for the "leaning away" perspective of tall buildings, so if this was my image I'd consider doing a perspective transform, and then a free transform to pull the image taller to compensate for the shortening of the image the perspective transform imposes. |

This is a very cool image, Maria! I love the running woman - the movement of her dress and her expression make her a very riveting character in this story. Personally, I like the fact that she is barefoot- it adds an interesting detail to the story for me. Your color palette is wonderful, as always, and I think the composition with 3 elements-woman, tree, house - works really well.
I might consider desaturating the big bunch of flowers a bit, and maybe adding more texture to the house.
There is something very compelling about this image. It would be so interesting if it was a prompt for a writers' class, because I think it would inspire such a variety of stories. |

Spooky! I can almost hear the werewolf howling.
What a fabulously decrepit house! The perfect setting for meeting one's doppelgänger. To my eye, the house bridges the two men, which is important because the man on the right wasn't immediately apparent (as he is not in the light). I like how they are equally distant from the overgrown place where a door could be, but isn't. Maybe they won't meet after all. It doesn't seem to me that the man on the right can actually see his doppelgänger, but it feels as if he senses it and has stopped. And of course he may have seen that shadow.
I noticed the light from the window spreads out as it leaves the house, but that the shadow gets narrower. This seems counter intuitive and against the laws of physics. I don't know if it was intentional. |

Wow, this is wild, Matt! I love the colors and the patterns! I'm glad you included the image without light painting, because it really helps me appreciate how you have transformed this space.
All the graffiti looks like magical writing to me, given the colors and the magic sun fire. The blue lines are a welcome homing beacon to your contemplative figure. I really feel like something magical is going on here.
I'm a little confused by the shadow behind you, because it is so profound that I can't distinguish between your dark clothes and the shadow. Personally, I might consider brightening that to avoid confusion.
Or, if you will pardon my flight of fancy, enhance it to turn yourself into the caterpillar in Alice in Wonderland (my favorite character in the book, because he knows what's going on). |

I love your fairy tale images, Kirsti! This is so delightful!
The little spirit girl's gesture looks just right to me, with her hovering over her discovery. The Pearl 's light draws my eye immediately, and makes me look at the crown that it's resting on. I think the dark forest background gives a good sense of place without distracting from the story. I like the balance of your composition.
I like the golden glow around the Pearl and its vicinity. I also like the amount of detail I can see in the girl in the version before you applied the warm filter. I tried something in between, and increased texture and clarity on the girl. What do you think?
