34 Dec 21 Reply Oooo yes, that looks like it must have been painful. One of my eyes ended up "hemorrhaging" after the surgery and looked almost exactly like yours but it wasn't painful and has now completely cleared up. Hope all is well with yours now too. Dec 12th
34 Dec 21 Comment Lots to see in this image Steve. Those mossy rocks are delicious and the stream is so lovely. I kind of like the darker exposure of the originals because they seem richer and more moody, but that's just personal preference. You've done a fabulous job of blending all of the elements with one another. I think I agree with Fran and Candy about the Goth/Sprite perhaps being faded back a tad. You are a composite master. Nicely conceived and executed! I'd love to have a go at wandering in your Sneaton Forest. Dec 12th
34 Dec 21 Comment What a nice image Candy. I love that stone and wood staircase; it looks like a lovely place to stop and daydream. I like your additions of the animals and your treatment of the water is very well done. My only suggestion would be to reduce the bright areas on the breasts of the three ducks; they seem more sunlit than the rest of the scene and the other animals. You've done a very nice job of putting together a study in woodland charm. Dec 12th
34 Dec 21 Comment This is cool Alan. I like the chess pieces in an array of positions, from floating, to hovering, to stationary. The shadows of each piece are just right. The sunken squares are so well done. The addition of the hand being in color when everything else is black and white brings nice attention to it. Great piece! Dec 12th
34 Dec 21 Comment This is a hoot Fran. Perfectly imagined for your film title. My only suggestion would be to tone down the muddy brown areas of the water a bit. I tried using the eyedropper tool on the blue portion of the water and then painted with a 20% brush over the brown areas and it did seem to help some. You did a great job of making the light direction and intensity consistent, as well as adding shadows in just the right places. Nicely accomplished! Dec 9th
34 Dec 21 Comment Your original image is an impressive piece of abstract art in itself. And your additional exploration has produced a completely intriguing result. My first impression was of a key hole, but I can see how Mars would be logical too. Well done! Dec 9th
34 Dec 21 Reply Thank you for your kind words Candy. One would never know you struggle to come up with ideas for your images. I always enjoy seeing them. Dec 9th
34 Dec 21 Reply Thanks so much for your kind words Steve. I like your wish for the gift. And I sympathize with your eye situation; I had double cataract surgery a week ago and I'm still adjusting to my new "eyeballs." It's a process of adjustment! Dec 9th
34 Dec 21 Reply Gosh Alan, since you feel the gift is out of place, it seems it gives you a sense of "disequilibrium." ;-) The gift, with its incongruity and golden glow, is intended as a metaphor for Mother Nature or perhaps a greater power bestowing something wonderful on all of mankind as we enter the season of giving. I wanted to present the viewer with something to think about in addition to just providing a beautiful snowy scene. It doesn't rise to the level of your deep surrealistic art, but the gift element was added for a specific purpose. Dec 4th
