12 Feb 21 Comment Those tiny diamond sparkles in snow are almost magical. I've never been able to capture them properly. This almost looks like some kind of magic. You did well to crop off the bottom area. I wouldn't change a thing. Feb 10th
12 Feb 21 Comment Your starfish is located nicely in the lower right of the frame. The exposure is very good for that backlit situation. It may have smelled bad, but it looks beautiful. The over bright debris on the left side detracts from the starfish. I would suggest cropping it off. Oops. I misspelled your name. Sorry. Feb 10th
12 Feb 21 Comment This is beautiful and peaceful scene. The sky is full of interesting cloud patterns. The sunrays are perfect. Did you use a polarizing filter to bring them out? I have trouble capturing sunrays. They look like a gentle blessing on the home in the foreground. Feb 10th
12 Feb 21 Comment Thank you for this touch of spring, Gavin. The composition is good here, with the flower not quite centered. I rather like the green in the lower left and the black in the upper right. My eye seems to follow the green into the flower and stop at the black, keeping attention on the flower itself. The depth of field seems to be a little shallow. Feb 10th
12 Feb 21 Comment Ah, Carole, you are wise. Many years ago Kodak went to National Parks and actually put Kodak signs up at all the iconic locations. There must have been millions of identical pictures in photo albums everywhere. You captured the bridge beautifully. The lighting and exposure is excellent. There is good balance between the bridge and the rocky shore. The triangle created by the diagonal of the rocks and the horizontal of the bridge adds impact. Bet your fellow members are sorry they didn't follow your lead. Feb 10th

77 Feb 21 Reply You are right about reversing the image. Why didn't I think of that?
Feb 10th
77 Feb 21 Reply I agree that the final image looks fake. Perhaps it is the perspective correction. It makes the church steeple look very wider, wider than one would expect. The keystoning in the original doesn't really bother me; at only 5 feet tall, everything is keystoned for me. I just noticed that the left edge of the tower and the building seem to have a dark halo. Ooops. Feb 10th
77 Feb 21 Comment I would darken the hot spots also. You have a nice touch with liquefy and warp tools. When I try these tools it's either too much or too little. Very nice. Feb 10th
77 Feb 21 Comment As a fan of fantasy fiction, this image really appeals to me. The distortion of the circle just adds mystery. I can see what Witta meant in the area from about 4:00 to 8:00. Some of the clock's frame is missing. The second version is almost another image. The background is very red, perhaps a warning that time is getting short. The clock face is clearer. I like both versions. Feb 10th
77 Feb 21 Comment Wow. You don't want to mess with THE LOOK. I like both Witta's and Linda's versions. But yours has a dreamy look, making Lily look like conscience personified. If some angel came and looked at me like that, I would immediately correct my action. In this case, context is distracting. You did a good job removing those distractions. Feb 10th

77 Feb 21 Comment I went to your Flickr site also. My favorite 'frozen' image is the buttercups and leaves in those nice warm brown tones. That may be illogical, because I like your 'original 2' for this image. To my eye, removing the color makes the image unrecognizable and confusing. I am eager to try this technique. Thank you for sharing it with us. Feb 10th
77 Feb 21 Comment I like the painterly filters in Topaz, but sometimes find them a little too much. Perhaps you could reduce the opacity on the Renoir layer. It is indeed a peaceful scene. The hot spots and the silver pole by the fisherman's leg don't bother me. Kudos on getting rid of that bright red spot in the trees. Feb 10th
