79 Mar 23 Reply Your statement about splashing color on canvas, reminded of my advice to a hobby artist who was asked to create an abstract piece for her gallery. He had never done abstract before and had a block. I sarcastically suggested that he use a sweaty tee shirt, right after his workout, as a canvas. Then smash the shirt on his palette. He actually did this, and after framing hung it in the gallery. Now please sit down for the result. The piece sold for ten thousand dollars. After commissions he received about $6,700. He took me and my wife to a very nice dinner with the gallery owner.

In reply to your comment about tamago: The white is hamachi toro, (fatty yellowtail belly,) which I would rather eat than tamago. Besides, tamago sushi is usually served with a band of seaweed around the middle. Also, the color can be easily changed, using the technique suggested by Dan Margulies.

79 Mar 23 Reply Thank you for the suggestion. I carried it a bit more and adjusted for less haze on the sushi.

79 Mar 23 Comment Hi Lauren_ I don't want to make the same error I made in my comment on your cash register last month. Lisa Langell gave a presentation to my CC last week and made a pithy comment that is applicable here: "Where is your image going to live." Since you have stated your plan. I think that your image will be a valuable addition to the collection. Mar 12th
79 Mar 23 Comment Judith_ Original 1 with no processing is interesting by itself without any further processing. When you took away the shadow object in the lower right hand corner, it added more intrigue. I don't care what the shadow is, but it stimulates my imagination, and happy that you left a blurry edge. I just wish that the final image had a narrow white line on the outside, so that a viewer would readily see its boundaries. Mar 11th
79 Mar 23 Reply Yup! Flaming Pear has lots of filters, many of them have a plethora of slider and blending mode adjustments so, using each has a small learning curve. You have to try each one, so you have an idea of when to use which. Mar 9th
79 Mar 23 Comment Karl_ More proof that less is more. Great composition with a nice, simplified subject. I never thought of cutting the stem to give the illusion of the leaf falling. I was wondering how the leaf would look with more variations in tonality. I took the liberty of trying with a soft brush @ 9% fill. I also added a touch of grain in Topaz Sharpen AI. I am not certain that the leaf shadow is natural, but it works. Mar 4th
79 Mar 23 Comment Freddie_ Proof that not every image needs to be sharp. Good composition and a nice color palette. You made good choices in processing. The story I see, is that these folk were at the museum just to say they were there. They seem to have no real interest in the image itself. Some of do good work under preassure, Well done. Mar 4th
79 Mar 23 Comment Gerrard_ First impression: He would be a formidable opponent in a poker game. IOW your portrait is more than a "this is what he looks like," image. It's strong and tells us something about him. I am the first to admit that I am portraiture challenged. Having said that, I wish that the shadows on his right side were not distracting to me. I wonder if the shadows could be fixed by using a low luminance light on his right side. Just enough to open the shadows, without destroying the strength of the image.
