Thank you for your nice comments about my creativity. But all the work is done by the polar coordinates filter. After that, each image begins to look just like the previous one. They are beautiful frames that need a center of interest. |

Walter, for those of us who live in the east, Colorado is pretty exotic. |

The adjustment brush is not part of CS6;this is the first improvement that has encouraged me to subscribe to PS CC. Hazel Meredith demonstrated it. It is awesome. Your crop took all that crowd of onlookers and made them look like the edge of the runway. Nice Job. |

I must have 20 or so images in the polar coordinates file. They really are beautiful and surprizing, if repetitious. The original of the 'record' was a mirrored tray with a gold rim, reflection of an ivy plant hanging over it. There was also an onion on the tray. It looked wierd after swirling, so that area did not get copied. |

Silver Effects is my go-to for converting to B&W. There are lots of pre-sets, all of them customizable. The crop is good, as it keeps the road from mergin exactly with the corners of the picture. Very well done. |

Nicely done Walter. I use some sort of cloning technique on many of my images. Cropping first to minimize the are to be cloned makes your work a lot easier. The diagonal from the girl's hat to the building in the distance adds interest to this image. |

Thank you Carole. I often want better control over light and dark. Don't know much about blend modes, but these Digital Dialogue groups are helping. He does look cute. Don't you just want to rub his furry belly? |

You are all so polite! But let's face it. This is a perfect example of why we need to get it right in the camera. I was handholding (should have known better). Thought f/8 would give enough DOF. Linda, your copy/paste did the trick. I do still like the emotion shown here, though. |

Very nice work. Original 2 looks brighter and crisper, but that may be due to the size difference. On close inspection of Original 2 and the Final, the flower looks identical. However, the dark area at the bottom of Original 2 is distracting to my eye. When I try to vignette with anyhting other than black or white, the edge around the subject looks grey and dull. Yours is perfect. Any tips? |

This would look lovely printed on canvas, framed or wrapped. I agree with Witta that adding some orange back into the blossoms would make them stand out against the overall yellowish tone of the image. Something you might wish to try in conjunction with the extension tubes is a focusing rail. Sometimes it is easier to fine focus by moving the camera back and forth, rather then using the focus ring on the camera. |

A pink flower floating in a pink cloud. This a perfect treatment for a dreamy subject. It will be interesting to see how removing the dark around the petals looks. I agree that it separates the flower from the pink cloud. But we don't know if we don't experiment. |

Your editing was subtle but very effective. I just treid the B&W layer with blend mode on an image. Nice. It is certainly easy to oversharpen, and the effect can ruin a good image. We used high pass exclusively until Topaz AI Clear came around. I hope your daughter-in-law hangs this on her wall. Maybe you can pair it with a picture of the baby. |

Well, Witta, I hope your friend likes this one. It truly is lovely. As to the lower left corner sunflower in the texture, I didn't really notice it as outstanding. Perhaps instead of re-creating the texture, you could just rotate the texture layer. The cropping is good, as the subject is the center of the flower, not the whole thing. This allows the petals to frame the center and its visitors. Exposure, DOF, and color are excellent. |

Woohoo!! No more radiation. It does takes a while (think months, not weeks) to get back to normal, but you will make it. With no taste, you can simply find things with lots of calories to compensate for the reduced volume. You can eat all those high-calorie foods that don't taste good right now. The chocolate will wait patiently for you.
Your image is great. I had to really examine it to realize it was just a stick. It looks like a little salamander peeking over the ridges of sand. The sparkles in the sand add a dimension. I also like the adjustments that Witta and Linda made. |
