77 Nov 21 Reply Thanks Linda. Flipping an image ought to be part of my routine "development" process. I definitely like what you've suggested. Nov 14th
77 Nov 21 Reply I like that thought a lot. Thanks Denise! Nov 14th
77 Nov 21 Comment This is such a lovely photo, and your processing has definitely taken it to another level. I love everything you have done!

Denise's crop is quite interesting, and allows one to see the image from a different perspective (you might also flip the image horizontally to see what that brings to mind). Given those views, I do think the white spaces around the edges could be "pinked up" a little, so they are not the brightest parts of the image. I would also consider lightening the dark pink under her arm a little.

77 Nov 21 Comment Interesting image and it's great you've tried something different. I'm thinking you used the abstraction filter in TS2 (I was unable to find Conceptional Graphic as a look). I believe the "wild" color variation in the center of your final is because you did (or maybe did not) switch from yuv to rgb color mode. In my opinion those weird colors are not a plus. If you saved the Topaz processing as a "project" (well worth doing sometimes), you can go open up that project to easily change that color mode... Nov 14th
77 Nov 21 Comment These are great flowers and you've done a super job making them the subject, and minimizing attention on the background. I love the colors, and the painterly look. Two thoughts for improvement -- a petal is missing on the top flower and could be cloned in. Also that green leaf is, in my opinion, too interesting, so it strongly pulls my eye away and thus distracts from the flowers. Maybe tone it down and change the color a little? Nov 14th
77 Nov 21 Comment What a lovely scene, and a great capture. I do quite like original 3, the colors are subtle, yet the image is eye-catching. I feel this B&W image is a bit flat, so you might try a different B&W conversion method, perhaps from one of those B&W profiles in the Adobe Camera Raw filter or in LR. Nov 14th
77 Nov 21 Comment I like those bluebells and the way you have cropped the photo, making that tree on the right a point of interest. The added sky is ominous and interesting; it definitely adds drama to the photo. But in my opinion, it seems unnaturally dark for the foreground, so to me it seems a bit of a disconnect. Perhaps you can lower the opacity of this layer, or instead use "select sky" on the original sky and enhance it by adding clarity and contrast. Nov 14th
77 Nov 21 Comment A simple and interesting photo. I like the colors and the composition and the texture. Also, you've done a great job cleaning it up and removing the bright glare. In my opinion, the leaf reflection is a bit too bright - perhaps you might try to get the reflection to have the tonal feel of the starting image and see if that is an improvement. Nov 14th
