52 Dec 21 Reply Thank you so very much! I see the two images. Great idea. I will work them up. Thanks. Dec 13th
52 Dec 21 Reply Thank you so very much! I am so glad that you like it. I know Lisa, and admire her work. She gave a presentation to our DE photographic Society several years ago. I will try the things you suggested. Dec 13th
52 Dec 21 Reply Thank you so much. The Gingko is one of my favorite trees--and the oldest living tree. Fascinating.

52 Dec 21 Reply Many thanks! I like your idea of isolating the top leaf as a separate image. Dec 8th
52 Dec 21 Reply Many thanks! My goal in processing was indeed an abstract. Dec 8th
52 Dec 21 Comment Great catch. They look so expectant. I like the crop, and I especially love the little guy peeking out just off-center, and if you look hard you can see a tiny foot left of center. The face of the bird in the center is tack sharp. I would try lightening the image just a bit to enhance some of the hidden features. Dec 8th
52 Dec 21 Comment I think that the perch enhances the subject. They are one.
The diagonal stem leads my eyes right to the bird, and the yellow in the leaves is prominent in the birds feathers. I really love this composition. The colors in the background coordinate perfectly with those in the bird and leaves. I find especially pleasing the opposing directions in which the bird is looking and stem it pointing.

52 Dec 21 Comment WOW! What a great moment to capture. I love the extra body part - it adds to the atmosphere. There is a second image here that is an interesting abstract (see my crop). I would darken the background sky and bank grasses a bit. Dec 5th
52 Dec 21 Comment That pine cone entangled in the maple leaves is a great story. How very cool. On enlargement the pine cone looks soft. I would try a bit of sharpening, and perhaps some lightening and vibrancy to make it even more prominent.

52 Dec 21 Comment Great composition! The silky water and wet rocks really pop. The river forms a lovely diagonal that leads upward into the mysterious forest. Your processing brought out wonderful colors in the trees. Dec 5th
52 Dec 21 Comment What a beautiful animal. Those horns are spectacular. Great catch!! In PS I tried a horizontal flip, a crop, and a darkening of the background to give even more emphasis to that magnificent animal. Dec 5th

79 Dec 21 Reply Ah there are many ways to present/interpret what we see and it is all a matter of personal vision. There is no one perfect way. So I ask you: do you like the poster effect? Dec 17th
79 Dec 21 Reply Thanks. Your method certainly worked well for you. I shall see what I can come up with. Dec 16th
79 Dec 21 Comment Beautiful image! I like the crop and detail in the final image. I also like the original a lot, especially the way the petals glow. I think the original would make a great high-key image. I would try selective darkening the background, and removing those bright white streaks and blobs. Could you provide a bit more detail on the focus stacking? I assume you were on a tripod. Did you use a rail? Where was the flower and what was the source of light. AND what software did you use to merge those 12 shots? I haven't tried focus stacking yet but you have inspired me. Dec 13th
79 Dec 21 Reply Well, it certainly is different. While I always like critters, I am not a fan of posterization as the image loses the depth, motion and texture I sought. What do you think? Dec 11th
79 Dec 21 Comment Very interesting bridge transformation. I see many different forms in it. The colors are great. I would try distorting each of the triplicate images in a different way, but keep those colors. Also I would try a narrower frame to give more attention to the abstract images. And try a narrow black frame to blend with the black lines in the abstract. Dec 10th
79 Dec 21 Comment Many thanks! I like your suggestions and will try them. See my reply to Karl re the "blob". Dec 8th
79 Dec 21 Reply Thanks!! I will extend the crop. Re the amoeba, I suppose I really should erase it - but it is such a cute smiling skull -- Dec 8th
79 Dec 21 Reply Very cool. I love the colors in the original. You brought out much more detail and contrast in your processed version. Thanks Dec 7th
79 Dec 21 Comment Wonderful patterns and textures. Can you show us the original? Dec 7th
79 Dec 21 Comment Very powerful images. I like both the original and the processed. The hands in the original seem to be pulling open the door to meaningless riches; in the processed version the hands seem to be about to greedily scoop up meaningless riches. I like the concept and the way you realized it. Dec 7th
79 Dec 21 Comment Definitely has a frosty look, as though those wind-blown branches were frozen in mid flight. And I must point out that there are at least 5 faces in that tree, all of which are blowing.
