34 Jun 18 Reply Interesting perspectives. And I like your quote! Thanks for visiting :-) Jun 16th
34 Jun 18 Reply Thanks for your explanation Georgianne. I've tried using adjustment layer masks a couple of times and have gotten frustrated and given up. You've inspired me to try again with your good directions. Thanks! Jun 8th
34 Jun 18 Comment I like your title -- it's quirky and fun! It sounds like you had a good time experimenting and your result is unique and engaging. The strong straight lines around the outside of the oval area seem a bit distracting to me. Georgianne's version helps reduce their effect. You've taken an architectural shot in a completely new direction with a very cool result! Jun 8th
34 Jun 18 Comment I like your concept and your title is very cool Christine. I agree with Georgianne about the key needing to be more prominent by removing some of the texture on just that part. I think adding a pretty strong shadow under the key would help it stand out from the prayer book also. I played with your image a bit by painting out some of the texture on the key, adding a shadow, and applying a spotlight effect. The textures you selected are very nice and work well together to make the book look aged and interesting. Jun 8th
34 Jun 18 Comment I love it when a photo makes an important social statement and this one is a biggie; thanks for highlighting it Georgianne. You did a great job of fixing the lighting and details on the flamingo. Your treatment of keeping his feet visible in the water is cool. The water murkiness in the original looks more "polluted" than the rain drop water, but the trash and random sticks add important elements to your story. Your thought process of leaving the wildflowers seems totally valid to me. I like it! Jun 8th
34 Jun 18 Comment I really like this image Phil! The blue is great and the way you brought in much more variation in the tonality of the walls really adds to the feel of the image. I tried to figure out what the object is in the last room (a mop? a flag?) but it doesn't really matter because the various shapes in the image are what make it so great. Nicely seen, composed, and processed! Jun 7th
34 Jun 18 Comment You did a great job of enhancing your image, Candy. I like the very slight bit of color left in the textured background -- much more interesting than if it had been plain gray. Your crop is great. The only thing I might have done differently is not flip it; to me, having the flow of the image proceed from left to right seems more natural than the other way, but that's just personal preference. The thin stroke on the outside is a perfect finishing touch. Jun 7th
34 Jun 18 Comment All of the decisions you made in processing this image worked beautifully Steve. The change in background color, the application of makeup, the smoothing of her skin, the elimination of the bright spot -- you executed all of them adeptly and seamlessly. I also like Original 3 since it's less saturated (seems more Goth-ish to me), but your final image is more interesting with her blue eyes looking at the viewer. Very well done! Jun 7th
34 Jun 18 Reply Thanks Georgianne. The flower color was sort of a seat of my pants decision. I did try some white roses, but felt they made the image too monochromatic, so I stayed with the pink. White flowers with yellow centers might have worked well! Jun 7th
