52 Feb 24 Reply Many thanks Ally. Feb 17th
52 Feb 24 Comment Ally, congratulations on your sunset image in the showcase. I love the people on the bridge, and the sunset is spectacular.

52 Feb 24 Comment Wonderful sky, fascinating structure. I like the way the light touches the front of the structure. I also like the original. Those troughs add to overall feeling of place and the story. Feb 16th
52 Feb 24 Comment The background bokeh is great. The soft petals add depth and help focus the viewer's attention on the insect the front wing and eye of which are sharper. I like the insect's glow, the way its color matches the center of the flower AND the clear view of the antennae and proboscis. Feb 16th
52 Feb 24 Comment This is a stunning piece of art work. Your processing worked well. I also love the the original composition and background bokeh. It looks like you sharpened the buds, added canvas at the bottom, and filled in the tip of the leaf pointing down. Why did you add gen fill on the left? Feb 16th
52 Feb 24 Comment You have two nice images here. For me, the star of the show is the water. The original image displays a left to right light gradient, a peach-colored horizontal streak in which the loon sits, and shadowy dark streaks emanating from the right. All of these elements contribute to the water's interest. All but the peach highlights are lost in the cropped version. In the original the loon is a secondary subject that adds interest to the water. In the processed version the main subject is clearly the loon, but the highlights in the water draw my attention and keep my eyes from settling on the subject. I would try to lesson the water's distraction by darkening and softening it. Feb 15th
52 Feb 24 Comment Wonderful artistic rendering of Nature in action. The high key version is the winner in my view. The detail in the birds feathers, the surprised look in his eyes, and the touch of red on his head hold my attention. The sheets of ice enhance the story. They are more apparent in the original. It would be great if they could be made a bit more obvious in the high key version. You sure have figured out how to get terrific bird shots. Did you photograph this event in early morning or late afternoon? Was the camera hand held? Feb 14th

79 Feb 24 Comment My eyes are dancing through this wonderful image, and sliding down wormholes. The symmetry, colors, lines and depth effects are fascinating. The image is reminiscent of the "Magic Eye" pictures. At first they look flat, but when brought to just the right distance to the eyes these images burst into 3 D. Try this with "Inside a Fractal". I consider photography to be an art form. Your image is a perfect example of photography as abstract art. Feb 17th
79 Feb 24 Comment This image is a feast for the imagination. It reveals a grand array of stacked figures. Stand back and see an eye popping face. Come in closer and a British queen with a high and starched white collar and very full skirt appears center and above the bulging eyes. Travel down and bird man with outstretched arms melds into a cat face. But best of all, in the center of the lost limb scar is Leonardo's Vitruvian Man. MARVELOUS! Feb 17th
79 Feb 24 Comment I like this unusual image. The two posts and the reflection draw attention to the fog in the background and the bird on top adds interest. The ropes define lots of shapes, and create depth. Feb 17th
79 Feb 24 Comment Marvelous find. I like your artistic processing. The cracks and texture of the concrete complement the edgy affect. Feb 17th
79 Feb 24 Comment This is an image with a story. A miracle that you didnt careen off the rocks. I do agree that the processing could be cut back, but I like the composition. There are many fine elements. Do be careful now. Feb 17th
79 Feb 24 Reply Thanks Lauren. Actually your gravity down orientation is the original. I like it too, but I flipped it to achieve a more abstract look. One tree, many interpretations. So interesting, and so much fun. Feb 15th
79 Feb 24 Comment Karl, many thanks for your comments and for introducing me to the Kodalith process and Wellington Lee. I love that high contrast monochrome look. Feb 7th
79 Feb 24 Reply Thanks Peter. I too am not certain that it is necessary, but it does better define the space.
Feb 7th
79 Feb 24 Reply Gerard, I love that new word! It is new to me as well. I like your crop a lot, but that negative space is central to my vision. Feb 5th
