41 Jan 25 Reply Brian, Thanks. I am intrigued by your left to right visual flow preference. I fully understand it and yet I like to defy it sometimes. I think I have a preference for preserving scenes as I observed them as flipping them sometimes forces me to loose connection with the experience. Jan 17th
41 Jan 25 Reply Tom, I sometimes like images that don't have everything wrapped up and tidy but I appreciate your feedback. This was more a study of mood and mystery. Jan 17th
41 Jan 25 Reply Alan, Thanks for visiting and glad you like the image. Jan 17th
41 Jan 25 Reply Lisa, I appreciate your suggestions. Thanks Jan 17th
41 Jan 25 Reply Melissa, Thanks for your appreciative comments. Jan 17th
41 Jan 25 Comment Lisa, Such a fun image. I like both the clouds and tree version. Other's have made some good suggestions. Jan 17th
41 Jan 25 Comment Tom, You've created a beautiful and compelling image. I love the lighting, tone and overall simplicity. This is the type of image that creates such an introspective mood, it is iconic in the contemplative feel. Nicely done. Jan 17th
41 Jan 25 Comment Brian, I find this a pleasing image which works nicely as a holiday care. Happy New Year to you too. Jan 17th
41 Jan 25 Comment Melissa, This is a beautiful and provocative image. It reminds me of some of the classic flemish portraits from the past. I love how intimate and close up she is. A little like the Mona Lisa in the handling of the portrait with a landscape in the distance. There is something distracting going on with the tree on the left. It looks like there is a blue house behind it and I don't see that in the original 2. Nicely done. Jan 11th
41 Jan 25 Comment Hazel, I also like how you've integrated the fox in this image. I agree a subtle drop shadow would help fully integrate it Jan 11th

54 Jan 25 Reply Here is one I made several years ago with a mannequin that I like very much Jan 19th
54 Jan 25 Reply Thanks Bruce, I'll take a 10/10! Jan 17th
54 Jan 25 Reply Peggy, Thanks, I've been a huge fan of Escher and do believe his believable/unbelievable perspectives influenced this image. Jan 17th
54 Jan 25 Reply Matt, Thanks for your comments. I did tweak the upper guys size and left the lower people small intentionally. I did enjoy creating a subterranean space for the bottom of the waterfall and appreciate you noticing the efforts I did to remove the distracting imbalanced clouds. Jan 17th
54 Jan 25 Reply Kirsti, I'm not familiar the Icelandic mythology but will look into it. I agree the placement of the waterfall could be tweaked. As I'm sure you've experienced some images go through so many iterations one finally settles on a version that works. There are always many tweaks available and I will explore your suggestion. Jan 17th
54 Jan 25 Reply Alan, Thanks for your feedback. The small people were accidental and I kind of liked the surreal quality of disproportion. I emphasized their placement by leaving them colorized. I can certainly see your point for a simpler image. Jan 17th
54 Jan 25 Comment Bruce, A classic story nicely re-envisioned. I do find the heroine a bit small overall and wonder if a closer cropping might have more impact but realize the compromise to the height of the tower may not be worth it. Just a thought. Jan 17th
54 Jan 25 Comment Alan, You nailed it with this one. Simple, strong and compelling. It's the type of image you can go back to again and again in search of the message. Jan 17th
54 Jan 25 Comment Maria, What an interesting image you've created. I also find it quite enjoyable to allow my eyes to wander. I agree with Peggy's suggestion to add a levels correction and agree with Bruce with respect to the sky above the walls. I have no additional suggestions. I wonder if the image would be more powerful if you added a real sky with intense clouds, although I have to admit your handling creates some interesting animal and demonic faces centrally Jan 16th
54 Jan 25 Comment Kirsti, I love the variety of versions of this image. I'd be happy to share a milky way image if you want to play with it in your composite. I find mannequins so interesting. While in Vietnam with my family a few years ago I amused myself taking pictures of mannequins while my family shopped. The ladies working in the shops thought I was an odd character (maybe they are right!) Jan 16th
54 Jan 25 Comment Matt, I will join the group in applauding you for a master montage. Your handling of the sizes of the subjects creates a nice resonance that adds the right amount of novelty to compel repeated viewing. The texture overlay is perfect for this image and integrates everything nicely. Jan 16th
54 Jan 25 Comment Peggy, You are the master of texture. I love how you combine different textures and colors to create these magical renderings. I like this one as is and have no additional suggestions. Jan 16th
