77 Sep 20 Reply Oooh, Geaorgianne, you are right about the inconsistent focus on the washboard. That probably happened in one of the Topaz steps, and I was only looking at the overall effect. Thanks to all those layers, that can probably be fixed. Sep 26th
77 Sep 20 Reply Thank you Steve. I did rearrange the objects so that they did not look like 3 separate items practicing social distancing. I could try something else with items that belong together. Sep 2nd
77 Sep 20 Reply I always start work in PS. That way I can have many versions of an image, each on its own layer. There are about 5 more versions of this, and I rather like them all. The decision-making skills of a squirrel crossing the road! Sep 2nd
77 Sep 20 Comment This image proves the old adage that sometimes less is more. The flower is lovely, framing good, exposure and DOF good. I wonder about the leaf. It is almost blue, but maybe that is an appropriate color. Greening it up might make it too intrusive. Besides, it looks as if the blossom is peeking out from her protective covering and , as you said, greeting the sunshine. Sep 2nd
77 Sep 20 Comment This could be a lovely picture of early morning fog. But what a different feeling it has when one knows the true story. I tried putting increased contrast and detail on the two closest trees. Often in a fog, the closest subjects seem to be quite clear. But I didn't like it as well as yours. This falls under nature or photo journalism, where truth is an important ingredient of the image. Sep 2nd
77 Sep 20 Comment Don't we all see things differently? Instead of feet, I would like to see cobblestones under her making it appear that she is floating. The bright blue white of her garments suggest that proverbial "white light" that we are supposed to glimpse at that critical moment. The sky is quite good. If the people don't seem to notice her, that's OK. We can't see angels anyway. However, I really like the symmetry of Steve's version. The empty street seems to suggest that her work is done. Sep 2nd
77 Sep 20 Comment To my eye the hand is too blue. But it does add to the mysteriousness of the image. One can imagine that the book contains magic spells, and the hand belongs to an enchantress. You did an excellent job of montaging the two images. Have you considered cropping out most of the large dark area on the right? Or does it add to the mystery? Sep 2nd
77 Sep 20 Comment There is good balance between the island and the boat. The texture gives the impression of a patchy fog, as one would expect to find early in the morning. I, too, like the warm colors of the final image. I wouldn't change a thing. Sep 2nd
77 Sep 20 Comment You changed a nice record of these lovely roses into a work of art. The texture is well chosen as it adds to the wabi sabi look of the roses. It has a feeling of reminiscence about it, a memory of things past. I do wonder if the stems and leaves are a bit dark. I would have to compare both versions in order to decide. But you leave no stone unturned in your editing, so this is perfect. Hope you are feeling better and well on the road to recovery. Sep 2nd
