41 Oct 25 Comment Nadia, You've created a striking image that could have many interpretations. I like your handling of the various elements and it comes together as a very cohesive image. I wonder if the grey trim behind the columns on the inside portion adds to the image or might be left out. Mostly I find it pleasing but there's something about how it meets the base that feels "unnatural". Maybe having it fade or transform into a waving curtain at the bottom would add movement and remove any distraction. Oct 19th
41 Oct 25 Comment Tom, A very nice Halloween theme. All the elements are nicely handled. I wonder if the bird adds value here as you have such a spectacularly crisp moon. Oct 19th
41 Oct 25 Reply Tom, Thanks for the helpful feedback. I had played with a variety of heights of his jump and thought too high looked too surreal but I get what you said about the horizon. With regards to the darkness I wonder if it may be a bit darker on your monitor or if my monitor is too bright! I will take a look again and consider brightening some of the shadows. Oct 19th
41 Oct 25 Reply Hazel, Thanks for your comments. I am still looking forward to seeing Australia and New Zealand one of these days, hopefully soon. Oct 19th

54 Oct 25 Reply Peggy, Yes, I thought about using an owl. I only have one image of an owl in my collection, and it didn't work. Ultimately I settled on this bird as it suggested a feel of hope, even though it is a bit out of place (although the sand hill cranes do frequent this part of the world, just not at 3 am. Oct 19th
54 Oct 25 Reply Matt, Thanks for your feedback. I did explore various positions and chose it a little higher up as it suggested something hopeful to me. Oct 19th
54 Oct 25 Reply Kirsti, Thank you. I did feel disappointed by the lack of northern lights but was pleased with the atmospheric lighting I found. I have to admit at 3 in the morning I almost expected to see a ghost. Oct 19th
54 Oct 25 Comment Maria, I love the complex interplay between light, tone and haze you've created. I think all of the elements come together nicely. For my taste I might remove the tower that emerges from the subjects bottom and maybe have her floating or more nebulously connected with the various layers. Oct 19th
54 Oct 25 Comment Kirsti, This image felt like a departure into the realm of modern art. There is something very edgy and original in this image. I do agree the green feels a little too bright but fully appreciate your goal of creating this striking juxtaposition. Oct 19th
54 Oct 25 Comment Matt, I'm happy you shared another image in this series. You could certainly have an entire show with this type of exploration. I can see the title "Master of light". I love all of the rich colors you've created. Oct 19th
54 Oct 25 Comment What an imaginative exploration you've embarked on with this and the other image. I love how you capitalize on shapes that suggest trees in the sand patterns. I'm a big fan of pareidolia and exploiting it in photoshop. The magical work you do to create the texture and colors is inspiring. I have no suggestions to improve this one. Oct 19th
