41 Aug 24 Reply Hazel, Thanks. Brad Aug 29th
41 Aug 24 Comment Hazel, I am not a cat person but I'm reconsidering after viewing this cute image. I like the muted background as it forces the viewers attention even more into the adorable cat's eyes. Aug 11th
41 Aug 24 Comment Nadia, Another perfectly crafted image. I like your masterful control of lighting. Your handling of the sky adds a touch of drama that is "believable". Aug 3rd
41 Aug 24 Comment Tom, I find your image disturbing in a fantastic way. That is, it seems so real I expect her eyes to pop open at any moment. All the elements are handled in a very beautiful manner. I might consider bumping the contrast and playing with the dark point a bit to create greater tonal range and depth, but that's just a personal preference. Aug 3rd
41 Aug 24 Comment Melissa, Welcome to the group. Your first image is an interesting abstraction which is successful with respect to your stated goals. In the absence of a group assignment I find the image lacking a focal point as there are many elements that are not visually interconnected. I will admit up front I have a preference for a story in images but can appreciate your beautiful handling of the textures. Aug 3rd
41 Aug 24 Reply Melissa, Thanks for your comments. Each of your points was a consideration during the compositing of this image. Often I will make adjustments and they just don't feel right. I do appreciate other people's perspectives and that is why I participate on these dialogues. Aug 3rd

54 Aug 24 Reply Alan, Interesting. Now I need to do a trip to Thailand. Aug 29th
54 Aug 24 Reply Kirsti, I remember those stories. Thanks for the feedback/support Aug 29th
54 Aug 24 Reply Trust your subconscious. I find it's the source of most good ideas. Aug 18th
54 Aug 24 Comment Maria, This is certainly a fun, well done image. I did react to the flare in Groot's eye similar to Alan. My first impression of the image was Groot at a disco. Since he is a well known superhero its hard not to lend interpretations based on his persona, nevertheless it still is a powerful an evocative image. Aug 11th
54 Aug 24 Comment Bruce, I will join the group in sharing my fondness for this image. The grounding issue is a minor distraction which didn't pop out immediately. The rest of the elements work beautifully together creating a very believable story. Aug 11th
54 Aug 24 Comment Alan, I really like this one, especially your title. The cubes add a wonderful surreal element. My only suggestion is to consider a tighter cropping to bring the focus to the subject, although I do like the beauty of the village as it is. Aug 3rd
54 Aug 24 Comment Kirsti, I like what you've done creating a simple, yet powerful image. I like Peggy's handling as well. You might consider using the orange hue from the orb and paint it a little on the sides of the face of the man and possibly on the young boys hat to suggest they are illuminated by the orb. Aug 3rd
54 Aug 24 Comment Aavo, It's nice to see another take on the eclipse. I became a fan with my first viewing this year. I like the overall feel of the image. I do find the angles a bit off with respect to realism. Neither the old woman's eyes nor the child's are viewing the eclipse making it a bit of a disconnect for me. If you move the sun to the left at least the old lady's gaze would be aligned with the sun. Aug 3rd
54 Aug 24 Comment Peggy, This is such a bright and playful image. You've done a wonderful job creating eye popping colors. The background gradient is very pleasing and a nice backdrop for the colorful bears and slide. The addition of drop shadows adds a nice 3D element. Aug 3rd
