65 Oct 17 Reply Lynne, Janos:
One of the things I am working on is to add some emotion to my macro images through the use of shadow and light fall-off (if that is even a word). I think (hope) that that is one of the things that will bring my images to the next level. It's one thing to see the image, and to capture it technically, but it's another thing to identify the elements that will add depth and emotion to the image (something I am only beginning to understand). When I see your comments using words like "poor little flower' or "it makes me sad" in regard to this image I see that an emotional connection was made with this image, so perhaps I succeeded to a small part here. Thank you for your comments. They really help me since its hard for me to judge (as the maker) the impact upon the viewer. Now let see how often I can reproduce this …

65 Oct 17 Comment Wow !! You really have captured the essence of macrophotography here, giving us another view of reality, in a wonderful way we might not have seen before. This image has it all. The images contains a wonderful story, and the detail and colors are great. Your composition was inspired, leaving the right half of the image to the leaf alone, giving us three elements to explore (bugs, eggs cases and leaf), and a wonderful pallet of colors and texture. I can't think of anything I would change. This is one of your best macro images to date. Oct 20th
65 Oct 17 Comment The process of adding a set of elements into another is called "compositing", and it is one of the things that Photoshop does really well. Of course, like anything there is a set of skills and techniques to really make it work. In this case adding an element (people) to the image to provide some sort of context (however abstract) is a wonderful idea and brings this image to another level. In doing so you need to make the new elements as realistic as possible to pull this off, and I agree with the earlier comments that in this case, the addition looks a bit artifactual. Balancing the light direction and hue, adding a shadow and feathering the edges of the cutout are some of the techniques that would help, but hey, this is not a compositing study group. I applaud the effort, and the imagination to see this option within your image. Oct 20th
