34 Jun 23 Reply Thanks Steve. Guess it's a matter of individual perception. To my eye, the light on the sidewalk in Original 3 (which was cropped out of course, but shows direction and intensity) looks much like the light on the step where I placed the cat. Jun 26th
34 Jun 23 Comment I wasn't familiar with the film, so I Googled it. This is a good representation of the trailer I saw. Since the movie was in black and white, it might look cool to greatly reduce or completely eliminate the saturation to give it a more retro vibe. Fun image. Jun 12th
34 Jun 23 Comment The original image is really nice. For me, the leaf overlay takes away all the beautiful, rich details and character of the old truck. I realize you were going for something creative, but it doesn't quite do it for me. I don't know if the original qualifies as a "creative" image to PSA, but I think the crop, composition, and seeing the beauty in something beyond its prime, all make it creative in my book. Jun 12th
34 Jun 23 Comment There are so many possibilities for abstracts from this one bird! Gorgeous colors. I agree with Gunter that the lower part is not quite as strong as the rest of the image. I think decreasing the brightness, increasing the contrast, and rotating about 25 degrees clockwise might help that dynamic. Gunter's version is nice too. What a lovely bird to photograph; you captured it well. Jun 10th
34 Jun 23 Comment What a beautiful group of images Frans. And making them into stamps was a genius idea. Each image is a lovely nature study. I especially like the tack sharp foregrounds and softly blurred backgrounds. The perforated edges look like they must have been tedious to create. Not that these need improving, but it might look cool to add a drop shadow behind each stamp. Beautiful work! Jun 10th
34 Jun 23 Comment Each of your originals is beautiful in its own right. I love the painterly look of the teacups. The other image is a lovely abstract; I'm curious as to what it is. It looks like a combination of a grassy field and a body of water. Did you use ICM to blur it? Jun 10th
34 Jun 23 Comment Wow, that's quite the costume on the foreground Goth. It looks like a challenge to negotiate walking around in. Very unique though, and totally a great idea to have her pose with the fisherman. I think the two of them, along with the charming background, make a really interesting composite. To my eye, the Goths in the sky aren't really necessary. You created a lot of additional contrast in the clouds, which made the sky very dramatic in its own right. Well done. Jun 10th
34 Jun 23 Reply Thanks Gunter. It didn't even occur to me to change the blue bush because this angle (although reversed horizontally) is the same as in the original shot. Jun 10th
34 Jun 23 Reply That is better Steve. Thanks! Jun 10th
