Its the eye!! That steely turquoise eye, the determined look on her face, the protruding neck all suggest she is definitely on to something. The tail feathers are wonderful, and I love the repetition of the orange on the feather tips and breast. She appears to just materialize from the background to speed on her way. Great image. |

Wonderful composition and tender moment well captured. I like the swirls in the water, fur, tail, and whiskers. The warm colors are pleasing. I like Sharon's edit, but the difference is very subtle and I had to study the two versions carefully to detect it. |

I love frogs and photograph them whenever I can, BUT - I have never seen this activity. You have captured an important moment in the survival of that species. |

Very interesting image. The colors and patterns in the water are wonderful. The rock gave me pause at first glance. It might have been an animal diving, or a head emerging. What is the brown "ledge" to the left of the rock? I might try a horizontal flip and eliminate the vignette. |

What a magical image. The detail is so interesting I cant stop studying it. That large branch seems poised to plunge over the edge. The colors are wonderful. So peaceful. I can hear the water rushing, and almost see Hobbits jumping from rock to rock. I am reminded of places in the Red River Gorge in KY. I think this image will look terrific on canvas. I have not heard of the software you used to edit it. What did the original look like?

What a beautiful tulip. It is reminiscent of the broken tulips that caused madness in the age of reason, and the first stock market crash in Holland in the early 1600s. Today they are created through clever genetics, but in the 17th C they were created by a virus we now call Tulip Breaking virus. Your creative processing highlights the feathery striations for which the broken tulip is known. Aside: the tulips are called "broken" because the solid color typical of tulips in the 17th C was "broken" by the striations. |

You have captured Nature's wonderful abstracts in a very creative way. Both compositions are very pleasing and whimsical. How did you apply the drop of water; did you dip the seed hairs, or drop the drop on the seed while it was on a surface and then draw it out? The teardrop shape is remarkable. I am inspired to experiment. Thank you!!! |

I like the girl's meditative, weary pose, and the leaf coming out of the top of her hat like a feather decoration. Cropping out the sky, and removing the bright blurred leaf at the bottom are great ideas. The bright flowers in the background bokeh seem cherrie and provide excellent contrast to the "Sad Girl". |

I love the story you saw in this image. I tried to enter your full title but I think the software declared it too long because it repeatedly truncated it. I agree with Karl's comments. I like Marie's version. It not only brings more attention to the "Responder", but it places it off center in the light. You could also try cropping and lowering the brightness of the helpers perhaps with a radial filter, or a vignette. |

Val, the tonal simplicity and warm colors are pleasing and calming. I can imagine driving along and pausing a while at this spot just to enjoy being there in the restful quiet. The leading lines converging on the muted golden tree, and the mountains that rise above the tree line into the clouds add to the appeal of the composition. The image has the feel of an Andrew Wyeth painting. |

May, this is a stunning image. Its minimalistic simplicity drew me to it at first glance. Your description of what it means to you is beautiful. I especially like the shadow of the shoulders. I see faint streaks of light radiating from the shadow. For me the dark shadow represents the unknown into which the figure is moving. The light rays beckon and foretell a bright future. |
