41 Jun 25 Reply Tom, These are excellent suggestions, thanks! Jun 25th
41 Jun 25 Reply Melissa, Thanks for your kind words. The clouds suggested the direction of the image to me. I had tried adding the ewer to a number of backgrounds and the cloud fit nicely. You can see I did rotate the image with the hand to line up better but otherwise it was a pretty simple cut and paste Jun 17th
41 Jun 25 Reply Nadia, Thank you for your helpful suggestions, they make good sense. Jun 17th
41 Jun 25 Comment Nadia, My only suggestion is to print, frame and hang. I love your handling of color and lighting here. The proportions and placement of all elements is skillfully done to maximize visual impact. Jun 10th
41 Jun 25 Comment Tom, I love your super stylized handling of this image. The long shadow you've added with the starburst behind your head is quite compelling. This image feels like something out of a batman series with you being the evil villain. I like it as it is with no suggestions. Jun 10th
41 Jun 25 Comment Melissa, I like the framing of this image and find the reversed embossing simplifies the image. The enlarged moon creates an intensification of the simplified image. Personally I find the orange color distracting paired with the grey tones. I wonder if the embossing was reduced on the sky and the sky were darkened and the moon where handled as a more intense white if that may create a more dynamic palate. Jun 10th

54 Jun 25 Reply Peggy, I love your musings. All are great and made me smile. Jun 19th
54 Jun 25 Reply Maria, This seems to be the key message, thanks. Jun 19th
54 Jun 25 Reply Kirsti, Thanks, a great suggestion. Jun 19th
54 Jun 25 Reply Alan, Thanks for the feedback Jun 19th
54 Jun 25 Comment Alan, All of these elements tie together nicely and I find the color and lighting rich and beautiful. The house seems out of proportion to the man (it feels like a toy house in this case as it seems too small based on how big the shadow of the man is. Jun 10th
54 Jun 25 Comment Maria, Thank you for sharing your process and for creating such an intriguing image. I love all of the elements and very much enjoy your handling of color, lighting, contrast and texture. My only constructive criticism is there seem to be too many elements going on here. I wonder if darkening the ground some might tie the elements together more Jun 10th
54 Jun 25 Comment Kirsti, I also very much like your image and title. I also find the handling of the subject, toning him down, feels incongruous. The coloring in the original is so rich making me desire more color in the subject. I wonder if you could have him lighting up the scene with the color fading into black and white in the periphery or some other handling to focus our attention centrally Jun 10th
54 Jun 25 Comment Peggy, On first viewing I was confused and distracted by the flower and the twirl. Once I saw the twirl was a face it changed my view of the image. I agree with Alan regarding doing something to focus our attention on the woman's face rather than the flower. I like the idea of not overstating her presence as the moment I discovered her face was great and I'd recommend retaining that magic. Jun 10th
