52 Apr 26 Reply Many thanks Ally. I too wonder what a macro lens would reveal and I am going to try it out very soon.

52 Apr 26 Reply Thanks. I did google and both LR and PS have them BUT in LR you have to make your own and then enter it into the program.

52 Apr 26 Reply I am glad that you saw the upside down head and Tin man. Your finding interesting formations in this image is just what I aimed for, and what abstract does for me. I am experimenting with the image as you suggested. What is "LUTS" Thanks for your comments and suggestions Apr 14th
52 Apr 26 Reply Thanks Sharon. I am working on that tone curve. One of the faces is an elongated half face; it is ghostly blue/grey and is upside down. To find it look middle vertically and left horizontally. Some see this element as a fish as well. Apr 12th
52 Apr 26 Reply Thanks for your comments Polly. I will try the crop. Re the angel, some who have seen this see a swamp monster, some a fish, and some an alligator. The variety of things that different people viewing the same element of an image imagine they see fascinates and delights me. Many stories lie beneath these vernal waters. Apr 11th
52 Apr 26 Reply Thank you so much for sharing your approach to increasing contrast Mike. I have never used the S-shaped curve, and now I feel armed for my next adventure in processing. Apr 11th
52 Apr 26 Reply Many thanks for your comments and suggestions. Ill try cropping from top. I agree that Mike's processing resulted in greater detail. Apr 10th
52 Apr 26 Comment Mike, thank you so very much for playing with this image. I love the viewer-dependent ambiguity of cluttered abstracts that promotes different interpretations. Your interpretation, focused on the bubbles, is wonderful, has revealed new elements and has clarified existing elements. What is the strong S curve you used to enhance contrast? That adjustment revealed the face and Elvis-like hairdo of a happy fellow just right of dead center, and increased the visibility of the partial and upside down head center left. Removing the line and reddish blob improved the image, but I do miss the angel. I cant wait to return to the wetlands armed with new ideas. THANK YOU! Apr 7th
52 Apr 26 Comment I like this image a lot. The high key treatment and pastel pink suggest gentle Spring; the blur suggests frantic flapping of the wings, and the expression in the birds face, revealed by its sharp focus, suggests panic. The contrast draws me in and compels me to fantasize. Apr 4th
52 Apr 26 Comment Peter Cottontail! Wonderful detail in the bunny's fur and whiskers, and great catchlight in his wondering eye. His expression suggests innocence and curiosity. I also like the original image; it shows daylight and tender green vegetation, and has a feeling of Spring. The darker edited version is more mysterious. Both versions have stories. Apr 4th
52 Apr 26 Comment I love this. The white rose pops forth from the dark bokeh background, and the bee is a bonus for those study the image. That bee is in polin heaven. I especially like the pale yellow that radiates from the inner petals. The polin on the bee's back and the petal veins are all in focus. This image is ready for a lucky wall. Apr 4th
52 Apr 26 Comment A fine story of parental dedication - as well as photographer persistence. The chick on the right is twittering with anticipation. I can see the determination of the father in the intensity in his eye. His powerful wings flap in response to the urgency of his chicks' demands. If you want a tiny nit, the father is not as sharp as the chicks. You might consider selectively sharpening him. Apr 4th
52 Apr 26 Comment Wonderful story of tenacity here. You captured the path and power of the flowing water. Little River in this image becomes a big raging river. Your perspective puts me right in the scene, clinging to a leaf on the moss-covered rock. Your wall is most fortunate to host this gem. Apr 4th
52 Apr 26 Comment Stunning composition; strong stories both natural and fantastical; amazing detail down to the drops of splashed water, and even in the reflection; leading lines, triangles, and that brilliant orange beak combine to make this image a gem. Congratulations. Apr 4th

79 Apr 26 Reply Love what you see!! Thanks for the suggestions. Apr 6th
79 Apr 26 Reply Thanks for your suggestion. I will try enhancing the contrast. Apr 5th
79 Apr 26 Comment The Firmani flip made that face much more visable. I also like the warmer tones in your version. Many thanks. I visited the ooze Friday and the bubbles had all disappeared. However I saw no tadpoles or other signs of hatched eggs. Those bubbles remain a mystery to me.

79 Apr 26 Comment Delightfully strange composition. The smile on the model contrasts dramatically with the erie scene. I like the repetition of the bole blue and red colors in the model's uniform and clown head on a stick in the lower right, and of the orange color in the belt with the orange leaves and bowl interion lower right. The steam emanating from the tunnel supports a dystopian affect, however, the model's playful stance and smile give a rather comic feel to the image. I am not familiar with this series. Apr 5th
79 Apr 26 Comment That is a beautiful site. I like the layers of color, texture and reflection. I prefer the original to the cropped version. Although the boats are larger, the massive cropped wall of rock imparts a very cramped and unnatural feeling. By contrast, the original has an open yet protected feeling. Also the blue in the sky balances the blue cast in the water and sand. The foreground in the edited version looks somewhat harsh and overprocessed. I would try eliminating the crop and backing off the adjustments. There is a restful and beautiful composition here. Apr 5th
