52 Jan 19 Comment This image is indeed a wonderful story prompt. For me cropping out the blurred penguin on the left improves the image, AND inspires quite a different story: Still Standing - triumph over the storm. Jan 25th
52 Jan 19 Comment Amazing shot. The graceful outstretched wings, the pink of the feathers against the blue water, the textures of the water, the reflection, and the sharp focus, make this image outstanding. Jan 25th
52 Jan 19 Comment Great find. In order to bring more attention to the wonderful nest I experimented in Lightroom with a tighter crop, vibrancy reduction, slight sharpening, and a faint vignette. Jan 24th
52 Jan 19 Comment Wonderful expression! The detail, especially the eye bubbles provokes thought: what are those bubbles, just how old is he, what is he thinking. The colors and simple background instantly capture my attention. Where was he? Jan 23rd
52 Jan 19 Comment This fish really pops due to the uncluttered background. While preserving a sense of the environment would be more natural, I like the flying fish fantasy evoked by the black background. I would tone down the light or highlights on the head and fins (wings). Jan 23rd
52 Jan 19 Comment Thank you for introducing me to new (for me) photography authors. Your image further introduces me to a place I have not experienced but would love to. The play of light on the "rock windows" is magical. I like the color tones you chose. For me the "drift wood" is a vital element of the image's story, and its position in the original image is consonant with that story. In the original the wood is parallel to the line of shrubs, and to a felt path, behind the shrub line, that leads to the lower rock window. The vignette enhances the path. The transformed wood intersects these lines and feels unnatural. The range if interpretations reflects the power of your image. Jan 23rd

79 Jan 19 Comment WONDERFUL image!! It is reminiscent of the of the artwork that appeared on the covers of Sci Fi paperbacks in the good old days. The dancer could well be performing on the surface of an asteroid in outer space. The shapes and motion are remarkable: I see musical clefs and notes whirling in the rhythmic pulse. The Whirling Dervish of Mars. And the colors burst from the black background. I love your "selfie" as well: the artist as composer with the musical score unfurling. Karl, you are an artist!! Jan 29th
79 Jan 19 Comment Susan, I have yet to attempt a composite, and I am dazzled by your concept and "pasting" of the subjects. The monochrome treatment really brings out the drama in the clouds and rushing water. I agree with Susan and Karl's comments, and I love the tonal adjustments Susan made. The waterfall looks huge. I might try contrasting the power and immensity of the waterfall with the vulnerability of the woman and horse by reducing their size a bit and moving them just a bit back and to the right. This image tells many stories! Jan 29th
79 Jan 19 Comment Anurada, the depth and motion in the falling, churning water are edgy and unsettling; then my eyes rest on the sharp-focused left edge and I feel stability. This image is thought-provoking. Well done! Did you use camera ND filters, or was is very dim light that permitted the long exposure? Jan 29th
79 Jan 19 Comment Susan, the composition, exposure, and focus of the original are all excellent. Great images have great potential, and I love your interpretation. In the original the cars draw my eye, and the scene looks busy. By contrast in your rendering I do not notice the cars; the boats, flowers, water, trees and the wonderful lines they generate draw my imagination into a story. This surreal image would make a lovely illustration for a book, and I could look at it for a very long time. Jan 29th
79 Jan 19 Comment I love your adjustments to this photographic "accident". The colors and tones are perfect for this moody scene. I can almost hear the swishing of the grasses. Im glad you kept it. Jan 29th
79 Jan 19 Comment Mary, I would try merging two photos to produce the image. As others commented, showing more of the woman's hands and hair would help convey the journey into the hole. She seems to be crouching. I would try arching her back and lifting her head and arms to give a feet first down the hole illusion. For the leaves, I would shoot with a slow shutter speed and execute a slow zoom that ends with a longer time in the zoomed out position. The idea is to get some of the leaves at the periphery in focus, and thereby generate depth to the tunnel. Then merge the images. Jan 29th
79 Jan 19 Comment The image labelled "Original" is not the original, but a monochrome B&W version. I prefer the color version presented. Jan 9th
