41 Dec 18 Reply Lisa, I think I did a straight blend, i.e. just using a layer mask and erasing away material with 30-50% opacity. The version you would like to see doesn't exist. The exposure of the mother watching her kids is as it is since the kids were moving and she was staying relatively still for the 1/2 second or so exposure. I kind of like the fact that she is relatively still while her kids are moving, feels like it emphasizes her stability, especially in the setting of the moving stars and kids. Dec 17th
41 Dec 18 Reply Thanks Kathy Dec 16th
41 Dec 18 Reply Jan, Thank you for those kind words. I have to admit this was one of those few photos that only took a couple minutes to put together (taking the images for the photo was another story). Often I spend hours trying different images, this time I juxtaposed them, did some minor adjustments and it felt done. Dec 15th
41 Dec 18 Reply Sue, Thanks. Lately working on subtle blending is what makes me happy. Dec 14th
41 Dec 18 Reply Henry, Thanks. This was taken near half moon bay if memory serves. Dec 14th
41 Dec 18 Comment Jan, I love the Two can joke. This is a very nicely executed playful image. Well balanced, well lit, nicely executed. I hear a Jimmy Buffet song playing in the background Dec 6th
41 Dec 18 Comment Lisa, I really like the overall feel of this image but think real eyes would be more powerful. The colors are bold and eye pleasing. Dec 6th
41 Dec 18 Comment Sue, This is a fun and well handled image of Coco. I don't feel you've sold the idea of the dog decorating the tree but it is otherwise beautifully crafted. I really like your handling of the window. Dec 6th
41 Dec 18 Comment Henry, This is a pleasing image. I like the texture, color balance, contrast and overall feel of the image, well done. Dec 6th
41 Dec 18 Comment Kathy, I like how you've created a different reality here. I really like the image of the 3 people backlit and think that image would be more interesting if it was larger. Not sure if that would fit in this photo but it looks more like a christmas ornament this small. Maybe play with them walking away from the exploding star Dec 6th

54 Dec 18 Comment Alan, Another wonderful surreal image. I could spend quite a bit of time looking at this image (I plan to come back to it). You've created enough mystery to make it compelling. You have mastered your craft, technically flawless. I recently went to the Magritte exhibit at the SFMOMA. I love his art for its simplicity and deep messages. I would recommend you continue in this journey and spend a lot of time deepening the conceptual themes underlying your images Dec 7th
54 Dec 18 Comment Betty, Merry Christmas to you. Fun holiday themed photo. The purple grey background doesn't seems a little light to me. I wonder if it were to be darkened some if it might draw attention to the foreground more. Dec 7th
54 Dec 18 Comment Peggy, As always, professionally executed. I used to love exploring new filters. You've done a great job with this one. The composition is strong, the colors are fun and it has good movement. Dec 7th
54 Dec 18 Comment Aavo, I really like this one. The way you've exploited the waves is conceptually outstanding. You've done a superb job with adding the people in this photo, good work. Dec 7th
54 Dec 18 Reply Thanks Alan. I will play with it more. I did try to increase the sky at one point and it made it look a little more unbelievable. I chose the subtler handling so it could almost past for real (a few of my friends asked me where I took it not realizing it was a photoshop image) Dec 2nd
