Lisa, This is truly a beautiful handling of an otherwise spectacular creation of nature. The fractal theme is powerful and handled masterfully. I wonder if you'd be willing to describe your process a little for us to learn from you? |

Nadia, I love your handling of the atmosphere and lighting surrounding the tree. My first impression before viewing your description was the video game Pacman, creating a nostalgia reaction in me. It's hard for me to understand the story of the image on its own, making me wonder if you might keep the theme more unstated with a more non directive title. I agree the elements below the tree are a bit distracting in this handling. The story of a tree eating something speaks on its own. Leaving it to the viewer to interpret the meaning would work for me. I wonder if you might play with other items being eaten. I could imagine a bird or monkey trying to escape the trees attempts to consume it. |

Tom, I love the Tom series. This one is very powerful. Very interesting how ChatGPT interprets your description. As I had mentioned to you I'd be really interested in hearing an AI interpretation of the image itself. I find a few details very intriguing. Not sure if it was accidental having 2 horn like projections coming out of your head. This could add a darker theme had it been intentional or enhanced slightly. The choice of a deer as the subject for which you are presumably having a conversation creates all sorts of thoughts. The proportions don't speak to the deer being God but one has to wonder how the title relates. A nice mystery that draws me deeper into the image. I tried my hand at a slightly different handling of the proportions. A bigger Tom creates a different energy. I prefer your image, just felt inspired to play with it a bit. |

Brian, You've done a wonderful job rendering a visually dynamic and balanced image with this filter technique. I especially like your choice of a dark background and how you've anchored the image with the semicircular green object suggesting a real world base or branch. The movement of the image from the bottom left to the top right is very compelling. |

Henry, I continue to enjoy your explorations and am reminded of the joy I experienced playing with new filters as photoshop added them. I have done similar explorations with the topaz filters. As Brian points out there isn't an obvious focal point. For those of us who like an object or a story, these types of images don't draw us in as much. Having said that, much of art is not representational and your image is nonetheless very interesting. |

Hazel, I like your intention and execution. The overlapping swatches of color are very pleasing and the addition of the rose adds a nice counterpoint. My only suggestion would be to consider eliminating the rectangle the rose is on as you have kept a faint rectangle that is a little distracting to my eye at the bottom and right edge of the photo |

Alan, Thanks for your feedback. I am a big fan of sci-fi movies and I've certainly seen a number with aliens that are part plant. It's hard to truly create an original image. |

Aavo, Your suggestion is interesting and I appreciate what you are suggesting. It certainly would be hard to limit the area to the brain as you can see in the original she's missing the top of her head. |

Alan, I agree with others, your handling of the shadows makes this image very strong. the proportions make for a very compelling image. This feels like a surreal Norman Rockwell. |

Kirsti, What an imaginative image with such interesting lighting. My eye keeps darting to the original 2 image and wonder how another version of this might look with the trees less cropped as the vertical elements of the trees are so interesting. |

Aavo, I too enjoy this energetic image filled with life. I do find your handling of the different figures challenging as the boy is much sharper and more contrasty than the other figures. You might also be able to better integrate the boy and the trombone player by having the boy with a black background too. |

Maria, I love what you've done with this altered reality. The complex textures create such an interesting and captivating image. I agree with others suggestions to reduce the moons prominence. I might even consider eliminating it as the two figures with the breath of snow are so visually striking and the moon draws the attention away from these figures some. |

Peggy, I love how committed you are to an idea. You've done an amazing job pulling all these elements together. The colors are vibrant and alive with movement. I do like the tilted planet enhancement. I wonder if you could work to create a sense of distance between the celestial dolphin and the planet as they seem to be on the same plane, possibly darkening the area around the planet and reducing its size a little suggest further distance. |
