Hi Mike. I like you convert the original 1 to a painting style. I also like the color combination. I agree with Jan suggestion to remove the rabbit. I suggest you clone a bit of the Egret feet to make it looks there are among the grass. |

Hi Jan. Your creation this month is very special for me. It gives a feeling of 'Heavenly Mood'. I would suggest the title is "Stairway to Heaven". The eternal life where all of us must go. Therefore, I agree with Peter Katz to remove the canvas texture within the frame. Make inside frame brighter with no canvas texture and outside frame darker (with canvas texture) To me, this is an artwork that appropriately hang on the wall wall of a prominent contemplation room. Excellent creation. |

Hi Steve. Both of them are unique. But if you give me a choice. I choose the psychedelic version. It gives me a bit of mystical feeling. |

Hi Gunter. Wow. To me, you are the master of 'flip-flop'. I love the monochrome finish. It's a perfect tonality. Right mood. Awesome work. |

Hi Peter. I agree with your suggestion. This would make the leaf with it's strong texture look more outstanding. |

Hi Candy. I like how you combine the leaf with the wood texture. To me, you are really master of the PS blend mode. I prefer the 'woody mood' as in original 3. Otherwise, please review my comments to Peter Katz. |

Hi Peter. Welcome to the group. I like how you were having fun when developing this composite creation. It's innovative and funny. I agree with Jan. The museum spotlight reflections on the car hood need to be removed. I also did a bit of burning on the car shadow especially around the tires to make them look touching the ground. Then, I make the front car darker as the light is coming from behind. I hope you like this enhancement. |

Hi Gunter. Don't worry. Not many Indonesians have seen this indigenous Papua traditional costume (koteka). Even my wife was wondering how this gourd firmly attached to the man penis. The secret was it has rubber band tight to his scrotum. During the festival viewers were laughing out loud. One of the male dancer broke his koteka rubber band. He was so shy and keep covering his groin during the dance. :) |

Hi Jan. I love to see your comments ... I agree that the two men are pretty large ... the purpose ... to tie everything together. You can see my sole purpose as I mentioned in my response to Peter Katz. Thanks for leadership to our group 34. |

Hi Peter. Thanks Peter. Your comments means a lot to me! Your comments remind me what I learned from Jon Fishback. My coach from PSA for Image Analysis class. He said ... Kind words regarding a photograph may seem condescending if they have no substance ... Unfortunately, most of my local photographers are not trained to make these kind of comments. They would just say awesome, wow, beautiful, thumbs up etc ... |

Hi Mike. Thanks for your comments. The two men are actually in the same height with the dancing women. I purposely make a bit taller to make them more obvious. |

You right Kirk. That's why I paid for guided tour. You know. It's a low light. We have to use tripod to make it sharp. The guide was there to other visitors. Allow us to get long exposures images. |

I saw many tour photography composed pre-arranged concepts by having people or animal walking to make their point of interest. Just my two cents. |

Hi Geoff. It's a nice shot. I love the composition and how you place the horizon. Did you take this picture from a chopper? |

Hi Kirk. I love to see your picture. It brings back my golden memory in 2016 when my daughter give me a Christmas present ... A trip to Page Arizona for Antelope Canyon ... She bought me a ticket for guided photography tour. I agree with Pierre. Editing Antelope Canyon images is a bit tricky. It looks simple, but, Greg Benz introduce how 'partial adjustment' using luminosity mask can make the stone looks more 'alive'.

I saw a bit of chromatic aberration which be easily removed in PS. |

Hi Pierre. To me, the subject of this picture is purplish sky in the center. This would be more alive if you put the tree silhouette as it's foreground In front of the purplish sky. Just a humble thought. |

Hi Janet. This frog can be found in tropical rain forests floors in Indonesia. However this is a pet. Not wild life. I love to see your editing. The eye look much more outstanding. Thanks. I really appreciate your editing suggestions. |

Thanks for your good words. It's from a pet exotic collector. They allow us to shoot in his studio. It's a pet. Not wildlife. |

Hi Howard, it's an excellent moment. In addition to Janet suggestion. I would also suggest you darken the two Jaguar to allow the male eye more obvious. Animal eye is always viewer eyes ultimate stop in viewing animal image. It is also called a fixation point. |

Hi Richard. Welcome to the club. I love the shallow DOF. The snake and it's eye look prominent. I don't know your shooting condition. I would normally wait until the snake head is high or periscoping. I know it's not easy to obey the ethic of wildlife photography. It's an excellent post process to me. |

Hi Ginny, What a wonderful bird image. I agree with Richard's editing by darkening and blurring the background. |
