Lisa,
I'm with Brad... I'd love to know more about what you did here.
Is that really an eye in the log hole? If so, I'd love to see more definition since I wouldn't have figured it out without your description. |

Another wonderful Tom Kredo composite!! I'm a big fan!
Suggestions:
1. Look at your legs. You're apparently standing in shadow but your legs are reflecting light that's not corresponding on the ground shadow.
If you move the subject to one of the lighted grids, then the leg light will match.
2. Your body is much taller than the transport car. You'd never fit into it, hah hah! Maybe you want it to feel a bit distorted. Most people won't notice consciously but they'll feel that something is wrong. |

Henry, I love the composition, textures and the colors in your image!
My only suggestion might be to lighten the dark patch in the middle of the path. It stops us traveling from foreground to background. Illustration below..

Bravo Brad!! Love the creative concept and the execution. My only suggestion is that you might want to get rid of the the green blob in the foreground. It's distracting because of it's different color, blurriness and size.
Here's an alternative look without the blob. |

Thanks Tom!
Because I didn't save the layered file, (I'm always trying to save space) I can't remember exactly what photo I used. I know it's a composite of one of my photos and a painterly background that I got from a subscription. I'll look around and load it when I find it, lol!
I'm happy to Zoom with you and chat about how I make my backgrounds. Is that something you'd like to do? I did that with Henry a while back.
Okay, here's what I found. The cloud photo is not the exact one, but in that family. I took the other photo a couple of weeks ago at a local bird refuge. |

I love that you are playing in another playground with this one Brad!
Besides the suggestions above, I'm distracted by the variety of sharpness and blur in the entire image. If you want the bee to be the main subject, you might want to replace the face with a sharper bee face or something like a dog face or a flower, etc. that equals the sharpness of the body.
If you want, I'll send you my bee face to use as a replacement, lol!! |

Interesting image.
It's quite a depressing image and certainly you hit the nail on the head as it reflects our current situation out west.
I have no technical suggestions for you other than the boat looks pasted in the photo but maybe you meant for it to look that way.

Maria, Lovely work and composition. I like all the elements that you've placed so well.
I wonder about playing with the toning to make it all come together a bit more. This could be more cohesive with some global toning.
I also agree with the above comments about the white spot and the white frame not quite fitting the image. If you really want a frame, I'd suggest selecting a color that doesn't detract from the image. |

Such a fun image Peggy!! Perfect for the season.
I think because the swirly part is blurred, it might make sense for the ghosts to be a bit more swirly.
I also like the choice of Black and White for sure! |

Thanks Peggy! I like your suggested changes. The interesting part is that the original image (#3 above) was taken at night. But it works to darken the sky as it enhances the tone of the model.

Thanks Brad! It's an interesting discussion because I belong to three different photography organizations with three distinctly different approaches to photo critique and judging. Depending on which organization, if you want to get a good critique, you make your image fit that particular group. In my case, I don't try to think about what the judges want, I work with what I want. That being said, I agree that I should have put the moon on the right side to balance the image now that I look at it more closely. But not because of rules, but because it balances the image better in my mind.
I think the "huntress" looks cut and pasted because of the lighting... it doesn't really fit the scene because we don't know what the source of the light is since the moon is behind her.
I also agree about loosing the dogs in the brush... lots to rethink and make anew. Thanks to both of you for your opinions and critical eyes. |
