56 Jun 18 Comment I like the old painterly style in this picture and the addition of the shaft of light is just the right touch!
The painting has a timeless quality about it!		 Jun 16th
56 Jun 18 Comment This is a Fairy Tale forest scene. I agree with Gerhard and Elinor.
There seems to be a disconnect from top to bottom and softening the bottom a touch to match the mood of the top would really take this to the next level.		 Jun 16th
56 Jun 18 Comment Creative painting treatment for this photo, Gerhard.

I would add that although I like the color of the tree, it's really pulling my eye to those blues and oranges and away from the lion. Perhaps toning those bright contrasts down on the log would help

I think you got the eyes so beautifully that your heavy rendering of his nose keeps me from being pulled into the eyes. I would lighten the painting strokes on his nose so we don't stop there.		 Jun 16th
56 Jun 18 Comment Fun photo and very nice treatment. You did a great job with the textured background! Jun 16th
56 Jun 18 Comment Nice action shot of the kayaker! I like that you are experimenting with different options.

For me, the softness of the watercolor takes away the excitement of the rushing water.
The oar is the same color as the water in your painting and so maybe make it yellow so it stands out in relief.
I think it might help to crop a bit from the right and bottom to really help us focus on the kayaker as there is sooo much blurry water in the foreground.
The tree in the water by the pole confused me until I looked at the original. I thought... what is that tree doing in the middle of the water? With the clarity of the original, I could see it was a place where the tree base was hidden. Maybe take out that tree so that there's no confusion?		 Jun 16th
56 Jun 18 Comment What an amazing place to take photos! The original photo tells a good story but I'm not so sure about the painted version.

I think the original is so striking that the painting looses the effect of the texture and patterns.
The brightness of the tree makes it the subject of the painted photo when I would like the striated rock wall to be the subject.
Which brings up a good subject... when is a photo NOT an ideal candidate for a painting? 		Jun 16th
56 Jun 18 Reply Thanks for your suggestions Cyril!
I changed the photo using your suggestions... Do you think it works better?		 Jun 6th
