34 Jan 22 Reply How kind of you. Thanks Georgianne! :) Jan 26th
34 Jan 22 Reply Thanks so much Fran. Glad to know it made you smile. :-) Jan 26th
34 Jan 22 Reply Thanks Steve. I agree that mushrooms make great photo subjects. This one was just a cement decoration in a neighbor's yard, but the three little ones on the side were cute ones that sprouted up in our lawn. Jan 26th
34 Jan 22 Reply Sorry to hear of your continuing back troubles Georgianne. Facing surgery in these strange times is daunting. I'm scheduled for a knee replacement at some point in the future, but who knows when. Luckily I'm not in much pain. I do hope all goes well with your surgery. Sending good thoughts. Jan 26th
34 Jan 22 Comment You've done a great job of isolating the various small pieces of this image Brian. It's lighthearted and a hoot to ponder. I agree with Georgianne that the flock of birds would be best left out. Opening the Wagtail's beak and placing the fly in it was very well done. I think it would be good to explore some shadowing elements as you experiment with composites. They add a lot of "believability" to a scene, even when that scene is fantasy based. This does look like a fun project to work on. Jan 16th
34 Jan 22 Comment This is a very thought provoking image Fran. It's good to know your meaning in creating it, but it also has a lot of possibilities for the viewer to create their own interpretation, so I would say it's a very successful piece. I really like the fact that the tree emerges out of the last mirror, which adds depth. I also like the creativity in making your body appear flat and doubled on the mirror with the two white outlines, but then the perspective of your outstretched hand brings depth there too. Nicely done! Jan 16th
34 Jan 22 Reply Oh yes I like the green highlights Steve. Nice! Jan 12th
34 Jan 22 Comment I like this a lot Georgianne. The minimalist/primitive look is very comforting, and I can understand how this would come to mind while waiting in a doctor's office. I hope your health is improving and that you'll have fewer of those experiences as time goes on. I think the addition of the owl was "wise" -- pardon the pun. Any living element adds to most any work of art, in my opinion. One of my favorite ways to add lines is to use the Poster Edges filter. I usually use a setting of 0-2 for Edge Thickness and Edge Intensity; every image is different and it's just a matter of experimentation with each setting. The Posterization slider needs to be all the way to the right, so that the image is not posterized at all. This is a very different look than Steve's outlines, and may not be what you were going for, but I kind of like it. I did eliminate the effect from the sky because it didn't look right there.

34 Jan 22 Comment Very psychedelic Steve! Whitby must be a very energetic place. Using Difference Blend mode gave it a nice look; it's one I experiment with often because it's so unpredictable when there are many colors overlapping. Since the Goth is so strong in her own right, with her painted features, I think she holds her own against the wild background. The piece would have an entirely different feel to it with a more conventional background. Frequently you lighten and brighten your subjects' eyes to wonderful effect, and I think doing that might give her just a bit more "zing" of her own. This must have been a fun piece to work on. Well done! Jan 12th
