Thanks again, Jan. Of the 9 options in the Stylize menu, one cannot be opened, oil paint. Trying to reach Adobe.
I'll continue to view your imaginative work.

Thank you, Jan! The fact that I have no Texture component in PS Filters might explain why Oil Paint has disappeared, too. Time to contact Adobe. |

Hi Jan. I still follow this group and am amazed each month by your creative, masterful, and diverse images. This is another: a beautiful and unique ode to Cupid. Where do you find Craquelure? It was my favorite filter and disappeared years ago. Incidentally, I'm reading a Daniel Silva mystery. His protagonist is an art restorer who refers to craquelure frequently. |

Howard, I prefer the wonderful nature photos you've posted from closer to home, the Chicago Botanic Garden and local nature spaces. A year ago you posted a couple of shots, which I really liked, from Florida. This one, not as much. |

What psychedelic colors! Is this HDR? I agree with the comments above re seeing all the equipment but the subject, the singer, stands out. Agreeing, too, with Lee Ann that the drummer adds context and is not a distraction. |

Bob, this is amazing! Your D of F is perfect: detail in the eye and beautiful feathers, bokeh behind. The dynamism of the angled positioning, his unusual (to me) coloring, even the water droplets. I would hang this in my home to enjoy. |

Thank you, Howard. I entered this in Creative, masters. People in my club, even on the Intermediate level, are doing incredible composites. Without seeing what this was originally, it was quite unimpressive, not even an Honorable Mention. |

Thanks, Bob. Glad you find it attractive. It's the result of copying and flipping my "original."a close-up shot of the top portion of the Oculus at Ground Zero. Tonight's creative competition judge will be even more stymied b/c he won't see the original. |

Lee Ann, I love this image! Your seeing it, cropping it, and especially your social commentary. |

Pleasing pattern; TIMELY capture, Stuart. Today we had hail in California, but the subsequent rain had melted it by the time I got my camera. Thought I had already responded, saying that I'd show your image to my grandson who stood on his deck the other morning catching snow flakes and marveling at snow in California. |

I definitely prefer your cropped, monochrome image. The shining sycamore branches look like filigree. I agree with cropping out the bit of trunk on the left and with cropping out the sky to further isolate your chosen subject. Well done, Jerry. |

What is PTD? I follow the PSA guidelines. Could see cropping up to the point where the pavement changes, but that would lose the long leading lines of the foreground brickwork. A sharp, well-captured scene, especially the Tudor building in the foreground and its details: the hanging sign, Chrismasy? window displays and the little flags fluttering above. Sharp detail on the next building, too, its quoins, dormers, and signage. So French, so much to study. People, too. A thoroughly enjoyable image. I like the choice of monochrome. So much detail; I think color would take it over the top. |

A wonderful capture, Chris. His position and the sharpness of the water spray and droplets are wonderful. I could see benefit from darkening some but also, like John, appreciate the high key effect. |

Excellent! You certainly captured the decisive moment, John. (This is why I don't photograph birds, nor much of anything that's moving. In a parade, I get backs. I stick with architecture. Perhaps time to branch out?) Good bokeh. I'd like to see the mama bird somewhat brighter, especially her head. |

Good, sharp detail. The darkness and lack of tonal range make it look menacing, as tho it is, indeed, eyeing you for dinner. |

Thanks, John. So, what title you give it, rather than my "droll" zebra? Minimalism? Architectural Abstract? Oculus Revisited? |

Thanks, Lee Ann. Re the lantern, without the original, one has no idea how it was made. I like its form and cheerful color, and thought it appropriate for the Lunar New Year, so I don't care that a judge gave it not even an HM. |

Thanks, Stan. Will try sharping with NIK. Won't be back in NYC soon to try other settings. |

Thanks, Don. I hadn't noticed the blur. Will try to sharpen it with NIK b/4 submitting it. |
