34 Apr 17 Comment Me too--me too! I'd love the formula. This is such a cool image. The center is so dramatic and I love the way the trails of the colors overlap each other in some places. Gorgeous array of colors.

I wish you well in recovering your computer files. Traumatic indeed!		 Apr 23rd
34 Apr 17 Comment Very pretty image Christine. I like the petal that's leaning away from the bud because it gives a unique quality to the shot. In the original image, that petal was more in focus than it ended up being in the final, so the only thing I would change is to bring focus back to that part of the image. I also like the border, but I agree with Steve about darkening the left corners also. Apr 23rd
34 Apr 17 Comment This looks like a fun project, Georgianne. You've given the overall look of the image a nice antiquity. I really like the way the tree and the grunge overlay interact with each other. It looks like the woman in your original is looking at her cell phone, so it caught my eye in your final that her hand was still outstretched rather than grasping the liquor bottle that you placed there. You did a good job of removing the modern elements; I might have also removed the bench and flower boxes. The man and woman look a little too "clean" compared to the rest of the image, so I might also have left more of the texture in place over them. You did a good job of finding supporting images to accomplish your goal. Apr 13th
34 Apr 17 Comment Now that we're able to see the round version in greater detail, I think I do like it better than your linear one from a previous month. The way you pulled detail out of the original is impressive. It felt to me that the "entrance" to the black hole might draw the viewer in more if it was at the bottom rather than the top. I also skewed the oval a bit so it was a bit less static (at least to my eye). I like the way you see unusual images in usual sights. Very nicely conceived! Apr 7th
34 Apr 17 Comment This is a lovely image Candy. Your treatments all enhanced the image greatly. Normally I would prefer a diagonal stem rather than a completely straight one, but it really works in this case because it helps the viewer's eye notice the budding stems that flow in a beautiful back-and-forth diagonal from upper left to lower right. Your color and texture changes are great and the stroke outline is just right. You took a mundane image and turned it into a moody, calming piece of art. Well done! Apr 7th
34 Apr 17 Comment I can see why your original has done well in exhibitions; she's very beautiful and her eyes are mesmerizing. The changing of the light direction to the other side of her face is impressive. I also like the increased size of the canvas to give more space below her face for the texture treatment to show. For me, the texture on her face and greening of her hair are a bit heavy. Her skin is so lovely in the original that I'm wanting some of the schmutz to be knocked back at least a bit. However, if your intent was for the final to look like an old, worn photo that had been pulled out of an antique cabinet, you achieved your purpose very nicely! Apr 7th
