41 Jul 19 Reply Jan, Your version certainly eliminates the distracting tree, I like it, thanks! Brad Jul 29th
41 Jul 19 Comment Lisa, You've worked your magic again. I have nothing to add today, well done. Jul 11th
41 Jul 19 Comment Henry, Your image made me laugh too, but the typo of this being a picture of your wife's bowels made me laugh more :). You've done a much better job this time handling the hair. The eyes, nose and mouth appear a little too cut out and pasted on. Adding a drop shadow to these should help soften them a little more. Jul 10th
41 Jul 19 Comment Jan, You've done a wonderful job capturing a visually pleasing magical image here. I like it as is. I would consider trying to tie the sky into the windmills some. What I mean is painting the effect on on the left side of the image such that it looks like the windmills are blowing the clouds and effecting their flow. It looks like you may have done a little of this already. I wouldn't overdue that but it can tell a visual story Jul 10th
41 Jul 19 Comment Sue, I really like the concept of the photo and feel the colors are very bright and fun. Some of the background elements, particularly the top left, don't add anything to the image and are distracting. I recommend cropping out the top window and other element and consider blurring of desaturating or darkening the background some to make the balloons pop visually a little more Jul 10th
41 Jul 19 Comment Maryellen, You've handled this perfectly. I like how the tail and feathers extend beyond the edges of the image. The colors, sizes and positioning of the letters are all expertly handled. Great job! Jul 10th
41 Jul 19 Comment Kathy, I really like this image a lot. I agree with Sue, the only part that feels a little off is the sharpness of the green grass around the head and near the tree on the left of the image. Jul 10th
41 Jul 19 Reply Thanks Kathy. She's applying to colleges now and seems a little bewildered. Jul 9th

54 Jul 19 Reply Peggy, I always feel honored when you take the time to add your special magic to my images. This cropping is quite nice and I like what you've done with the clouds. Jul 19th
54 Jul 19 Reply Thank you Peggy! So Helpful! When I find some free time I am going to try some of these wonderful suggestions and I certainly will share any interesting developments with you Jul 19th
54 Jul 19 Reply Peggy, Thanks for your thoughtful comments. I did try to add more clouds to the original and ran into some blending problems. It is interesting how some pictures just rub some people the wrong way, glad you like this one. I do agree there is something in this one that warrants more effort. Jul 17th
54 Jul 19 Comment Alan, This is a wonderfully executed image. I like how you've handled the contrast, the lighting and the figures from the past and present. A few minor items. The mayor's right shoe has a minor white element on the bottom that could be erased. I also wonder if you were able to recede the flags and historical figures some pushing the mayor closer to the front and creating a little more space between him and the background. It might create a little more depth to the image and help with the empty space at the top (which overall I like and feel helps to keep my focus on the foreground elements) Jul 10th
54 Jul 19 Comment Betty, My first impression was of a diorama but the elements don't have a unifying theme. I like how the goat and child are staring at the viewer. The bird feels like an add on. I would focus in on what your message is and try to tie the image of the goat with the child in some way that tells a story. Jul 10th
54 Jul 19 Comment Aavo, I agree with Alan, the original is excellent. Having said that, I like what you've done with the darkening and decolorizing. The ghosts look stuck on to me and that detracts from the overall feel of the image. The dog ghost looks cartoon like in this handling which detracts from your spooky theme. I might suggest tinkering with blend modes, opacity and blur to create a more ghostly look Jul 10th
