52 Nov 23 Reply Thanks Ann. Nov 29th
52 Nov 23 Comment Many thanks for your comments and encouragement!! I do see slight blue fringing but I am not sure what caused it. I rather like the effect. I like the idea of adding the vignette and will try it. I like both the original for its sense of motion. Those trees seem almost to be dancing. I also love the Trees in Light version for its immersion in the forest. Thanks again. Nov 24th
52 Nov 23 Reply Thank you so much! I appreciate your comments and encouragement. I too prefer the color versions. I agree that the "original" travels up and has motion. For me the edited version "Trees in Light" is equally appealing as it gives me the sense of being up among the branches in a faerie forest. Nov 24th
52 Nov 23 Reply Thank you so very much for your comments and encouragement! I will see what I can do about the blue fringes, although I do rather like the effect. It is hard for me to decide whether to go with the original or the final edit. I love both for different reasons. Nov 24th
52 Nov 23 Comment Congratulations on inclusion of your image, "I guess I Look OK" in the Digital Dialog Showcase. Nov 16th
52 Nov 23 Comment Congratulations on inclusion of your image, "Starry Night" in the Digital Dialog Showcase. Nov 16th
52 Nov 23 Comment Touchdown! The colors are terrific, and blend so well with the background. The long claws are so delicate--for claws. I especially like the repetition of violet in the flower on the right, the claws, and the bird's back. The soft background bokeh is very pleasing. What is the name of the new AI tool you used? It did indeed do a great job of removing that leaf. I would not change a thing. Nov 14th
52 Nov 23 Comment Great shot with a story. What camera/lens/settings did you use? What processing software? Nov 14th
52 Nov 23 Comment I can see that mischief in their eyes. The pale green and beige grasses contrast nicely with the jet black feathers, and the birds stand out against the background bokeh. The log and the tack sharp grass on the left form a pleasing partial frame. You captured well what Nature put before you. Nov 14th
52 Nov 23 Comment Great shot. The elk's turned head gives a great view of those antlers and his eye. I would love to hear him bellow.
Did you take any video/sound? The warm color of the grass provides an autumnal affect; the front and rear bokeh provide depth. I am always amazed at how sharp your hand held 100-500mm lens images are. Especially at a mere 1/100 sec. Will you use this in the Nature category?		 Nov 14th

54 Nov 23 Reply Many thanks!! I will add compositing to my experimentation. Your image is a wonderful inspiration. Nov 5th
54 Nov 23 Comment I am visiting from groups 52 and 79. I LOVE this image. I have been struggling to create dream-like high key images as explained in my November posts. You have done it! What camera/lens and settings did you use for the trees and background photos? Did you process in photoshop? Nov 5th

79 Nov 23 Comment I like the contrast between the stark skull and warm colors of the blanket, and the symmetry created by the placement of the skull. You did capture the essence of that SW look. This image would make a great book cover for a Hillerman novel. Nov 17th
79 Nov 23 Comment Wonderful concept and masterful composite. Perfect blending of the elements of the image. Amazing that the apples in the original image were stopped in flight without a streak at 1/125 sec. Her expression and the "twinkle" in her eyes are indeed devilish. I might try extending the main fire across the bottom of the image. Nov 17th
79 Nov 23 Comment Wonderful "found" abstract. When I viewed the original I saw a fellow with thick eyebrows and Roman nose lying on his belly with his legs bent at the knees sticking up. He appears to be contemplating the whereabouts of his companions head. Ah the joys of seeing. Nov 17th
79 Nov 23 Comment Great job removing those cars, and creating a dreamy effect. The pumpkins on top really glow in the light. Karl and Peter's suggestions would be interesting to try. Nov 17th
79 Nov 23 Comment In this image you have created a subject by isolating a fascinating area of a wall. Few passers-by would see this composition. Looking at the image I wonder what and where this wall is. The asymmetry and negative space catch my eye, and as I study it I wonder what the three elements of the composition are, and what the significance of the tiny painting is. In my view these features put this image in the Fine Art category. I prefer the original version as it holds the greater mystery, and because the colors in the tiny painting are more pleasing. Where indeed did you see this wall and what is its story? Nov 17th
79 Nov 23 Comment OUTSTANDING! I like the original as well. The colors in both demand attention. The heavy processing in both versions yields a very modern artistic look. You have indeed created art from, as Karl called it, an over-the-hill leaf. Nov 17th
79 Nov 23 Reply Thanks Freddie. I sure agree that there is neither right nor is there wrong. That is what I love about fine art photography. Nov 14th
79 Nov 23 Reply Thanks so much Peter. I like your version a lot. AND I like mine as well. They are two different ways of seeing what I saw. I love this about photography. Soo many way to "see" things. Nov 13th
79 Nov 23 Reply Many thanks karl. I was aiming for an impressionistic watercolor look. I just cant help playing!

79 Nov 23 Reply Many thanks! ICM is addictive. Do give it a try.
Nov 12th
79 Nov 23 Reply These are wonderful ideas. I will try them and post the results. Thank you so much! Nov 5th
