34 Apr 22 Reply Your changes are subtle but I like them Brian. Thanks! Apr 29th
34 Apr 22 Reply Thanks Steve, I like your interpretation! Apr 23rd
34 Apr 22 Reply It seems that my modification offended you and for that I apologize. I was simply practicing some PS skills that I hadn't used in awhile. Your explanation stated that you wanted to show "respect" for the First Australians so I guess I failed to correctly interpret that as your wanting the face image to look like a "spirit, not a monument" as you responded to Steve. The spirit in your image was a bit too subtle for me to discern. Apr 23rd
34 Apr 22 Reply I do agree with you on hydrangeas looking good with age. I have an urn of dried ones on my porch. Have a great time with the Goths! Apr 23rd
34 Apr 22 Comment Beautiful image Candy. The altered angle of the bird enhanced the image. All your textures made for a great background. The eyes are piercing and dramatic; what a great idea to enlarge his head just a bit. My only suggestion would be to crop a bit more off the left side, so that his eyes aren't in the exact center. Just personal taste though. Nicely processed. Apr 21st
34 Apr 22 Comment I love the colors here, Steve. And you can almost hear the amaryllis speaking to the two youngsters. I'm glad you told us the story because I sort of have a personal aversion to dying and dead flowers, so I didn't connect with it at first. I really like the background, and the treatments you applied worked well. I like your message that we can stay strong inside even though the outside becomes a bit crusty! :) Apr 21st
34 Apr 22 Comment You chose a very nice image to begin your abstract journey Gunter. The original flower is already pretty abstract because you did a great job of cropping it. I love the translucence of the petals in the original. The processed part that retains that translucence (upper middle) is my favorite part. The curves of the pink areas keep the viewer's eye moving around the image nicely. My personal taste when it comes to abstract art is subtlety, so since you asked for brutal honesty, I guess I would say this is a bit too harsh for me. I played with your original image just for fun -- I hope you don't mind -- just showing you my take on an alternate Unreal Reality. Apr 9th
34 Apr 22 Comment This is a great concept Fran. The hill is so colorful and well-shaped to accept the face over it. The face is really cool too. If I hadn't seen the face as a separate image though, I wouldn't have known what was "carved" into the hill. I thought maybe increasing the contrast would help, so I played with it a bit. I also got rid of the bushes on top of the hill. I didn't tweak the face as you did, and you can still see some of your face underneath mine because I used Hard Light Blend Mode to keep as much contrast as possible. I then increased the contrast even more just on the face layer (Image>Adjustments>Brightness/Contrast). In my opinion, the foreground gives perspective to the scene so that the viewer can tell the hill is large. I love your idea and highlighting native people. Apr 9th
34 Apr 22 Comment Cool image Brian. All of your treatments worked well to transform the Statue into something ethereal. My only suggestion would be to get rid of the yellow swath across her face and upper body so that she stands out more in the scene. The reflection might work with a lower opacity. You picked nice filters to apply. Well done! Apr 9th
34 Apr 22 Reply Thanks for your assessment Gunter. I didn't really have any story to tell except to experiment with PS motion filter and create a serene scene. Apr 9th
