34 Jun 21 Reply You're too kind Fran. Sincere thanks. Jun 23rd
34 Jun 21 Reply Ooops, sorry Fran... I didn't mean to cast aspersions on your magic cup. :-) Jun 23rd
34 Jun 21 Reply Oooo yes, great edit on the flower. I like her eyes being the darkest and strongest element in the scene. I think she's sort of a fantasy wood nymph figure, so her skin tone can be anything, really. Looks nice Steve! Jun 9th
34 Jun 21 Comment You've definitely created an ode to blue with this piece Steve. Your garden must be a wonderful place to change colors over time and produce such a variety of blossoms. The Goth looks familiar, but you've treated her in a new way. I tend to agree with other comments about her green skin tone, but it does fit in with the garden theme. Just one nitpick: the flower on the lower right seems a bit too large and strong on detail; in my view, it competes with the Goth's pretty brown eyes. You've done a great job of blending all the elements and masking out their various backgrounds. Nicely edited! Jun 9th
34 Jun 21 Comment A beautifully minimal image Candy. You did a great job of keeping the highlights from being blown out and I like the water droplets detail on the feather. The darker water and outline were good ideas. The monochrome coloration is lovely. This image makes me want to say "Ohmmmm...namaste." Jun 9th
34 Jun 21 Comment You are a master of surrealism Alan. I love the color gradation of your background and the perspective lines. It's refreshing to see you move away from your frequent grey background. The elements are all interesting and the crisp shadows add nice weight to the scene. I probably would have placed the cloud a bit closer to the columns and made either the statue or the chess piece noticeably larger or smaller, just so everything didn't look so evenly spaced and predicable, but that's just personal preference. You've created a nice homage to Georgio de Chirico. Jun 8th
34 Jun 21 Comment This is a nice fanciful image that you obviously took some time to think about and set up. I like the movement you created in your hands, the black sheet on your head, and the technique of dodging your face to highlight it. I think the pink elements work, but I might have made them a bit larger so that the smoke went over your hands and face somewhat. I agree with Candy that replacing the coffee shop cup with something like a rustic wood bowl or silver sugar bowl (enlarged, of course) might enhance your story. I'm impressed with your ability to take on an "assignment" or project and think it through to accomplish your goal. Well done Fran! Jun 8th
34 Jun 21 Comment An interesting music-themed composite Gwen. I like the sharpness and pristine look of the original piano shot better than the distressed sepia look, but that's just personal preference. Your blending exercise turned out pretty well, although the guitar on the bottom seems to need the end of the neck with the tuning keys back. I realize it was cut off in your original shot, but you could find a piece of one online and patch it in. I think it would look good to be overlapping more of the arm of the piano player and would help meld the shots together. I agree with Candy about the bright areas in the upper guitar player shot. The blank black space in the lower right corner might be a good place to put the bottom guitar player if you did a horizontal flip of that image. Just random thoughts as I study your piece, but I think you accomplished what you set out to do so -- nice job! Jun 8th
34 Jun 21 Reply Thanks so much Steve. You always make me smile.:-) Jun 8th
