34 Oct 17 Comment Very nice image, Christine. I can totally identify with trying to get things that move into focus, and more often than not I don't have much success with it. Sometimes I use the PS Poster Edges filter to add a bit of definition to blurry critters, but this little guy is so small, that might not work. Or sometimes I use the brush tool to crisp up the eye area and/or add very fine feather texture so it seems sharper. The only suggestion I would make -- and this is totally nit-picking -- is to make the two rectangles that go across the bird's chest have different bottom lines, one higher or lower than they are now. Very creative treatment and well executed. Oct 11th
34 Oct 17 Comment I think this is a really nice concept, Georgianne. I absolutely love vintage and old-timey effects given to new photos. For me, it's a bit busy and has too many elements that compete with each other. Perhaps lightening the supporting elements and upping the detail of the main subject would help. I have about 5,000 images of magnolia blossoms and their seed pods, and never get tired of taking more, so I feel an affinity for your image. Thanks for the tips on the Note tool and Photo Artistry website -- great! Oct 11th
34 Oct 17 Comment Fun image, Phil. What a cool church. I also agree about the color of the birds and I might have perched one sitting on the top of the spire. I kind of like the pathway stones in Original 2 better than the final, because they almost look like they're lit up from beneath the ground and contribute more to the spookiness. Great image for October -- Happy Halloween! Oct 11th
34 Oct 17 Reply I like it! :-) Oct 10th
34 Oct 17 Comment You did a fabulous job of bringing out the details in this image, Candy. The long shadows reflected in the glass make a nice pattern and the leading lines that carry your eye to the dark arches at the end of the hallway are great. The stone texture you added was a super idea; it made everything look like it was made out of beautiful marble rather than boring plaster. I also really like that you kept the turquoise coloring at the end. It occurred to me that having a person somewhere might be a nice addition, so I tried a version with a man and child silhouetted in the distance. Oct 8th
34 Oct 17 Comment Ah, the return of the Goths! You did a good job of assembling the group to make them look like a random crowd seeking guidance from The Man. I'm not sure I would like the treatment in the sky if the crowd didn't consist of Goths, but somehow it works with the creepiness of the group. The only suggestion I would have is regarding the shadows, especially on the umbrella lady. You said you burned in the shadows, so I assume you used the Burn tool? It seems to have eliminated the texture of the grass in that area, so it looks a bit more like smoke than a shadow. I might have used the Brush tool at a very light opacity (maybe about 10%) with a Color blending mode, so that the grass texture would still be visible under the darkened area. I'm always intrigued by your images and they always make me think and smile. Nicely done! Oct 8th
