20 Mar 25 Reply There are many ways a creative image can be shown. it is up to the artist to make the final decision. Here I would think that the deer as shown gives the impression that the deer is making the orb roll, just as a hamster does with a wheel. Mar 23rd
20 Mar 25 Reply Fran, I agree that AI if a slippery slop. I have mixed feelings. For personal use I have no qualms about using generative fill to speed up something that I could reasonably do using the other PS filters such as cloning, or content aware fill. I do a lot of my painting with Corel Painter. I feel that if I use AI for painting it is not my work. However, although it would still be controlled by my creative thinking, the extent of my creativity would be like putting a mustache on the Mona Lisa. Mar 23rd
20 Mar 25 Comment Nice to see that the people here have different suggestions. Your version has clearly provoked interest, which is a sign of a good image. In my opinion, the first tells me s story. Mama eagle is watching her younger one learn maneuvers. There she is not as important as the young ones practicing. But she is present in their minds. Mar 11th
20 Mar 25 Reply I agree with Fran's comment. Additionally, I wish that there was less negative space on the bottom and right, and that the top didn't look so crowded. I have attached a rough version of my suggestion. Mar 11th

Welcome: I like your mirrored shape and color palette. You have produced a striking image.

79 Mar 25 Reply I wouldn't worry about being "too busy," with your natural wildlife shot. It tells us something about the critter, and it'd your image. Not one where the "photographers" line up to place their tripod legs just where the guy in front of him placed his tripod. Is that really his shot. Mar 14th
79 Mar 25 Comment Great job catching that difficult bird in its natural environment. In his comment above Karl referred to nature photographers with big lenses. Lots of them use set ups where they pre-focus with auto strobe next to a feeding station. While they will usually get great images, I wouldn't trade fifty of those, for your image. well done.

79 Mar 25 Comment I like the interesting pattern. The shirt was hung up in a hurry. Notice one pair of socks matches, and the other doesn't. The Amish are fairly thrifty people so, it wouldn't surprise me if the owner did not have a duplicate of the mismatched pair.
Just a tip! Many of the Amish do not like their faces reproduced on film. When shooting near their farms I will ask if I can tak pictures of their farms and equipment. i let them know that I respected their beliefs about not taking personal images. Quite often my approach resulted in semi guided tours and lots of interesting shots.

79 Mar 25 Reply The tubes are round and translucent. Therefore, When processed properly they will not be sharp. My diving days ended just about when cameras started becoming electronic. I used a Nikkormat with a 35mm f2.8 Nikon lens. One roll of Ektachrome film per dive, and happy if I got two decent shots per roll. CC judges had little or no understanding of UW work. My diving days ended when I had a defibulator installed and my wife saw me planning a shallow dive. Mar 14th
79 Mar 25 Comment You did a nice job of extracting the bee. Karl and Lauren have already answered your wing question. I am glad that you are using manual focus for macro shots. Y get so much more control that way. I do wish that you were able to get the bee's eyes. There are times that you have to keep shooting until the daughter of a bee looks up. Mar 14th
79 Mar 25 Reply Thanks for your inciteful remark. Sometimes it's more fun to play with other people's images. All too often, it takes me a very long time to select which image I want to use, and what
to do with it. My younger daughter is my biggest critic. I once mumbled that I don't know what to do with an image. I will not repeat her answer, but I will NEVER ask her that question again. BTW she is a director of creative solutions for a radio division of a large media company, and Andy Warhole was her art mentor when she was first starting out.

79 Mar 25 Reply Hi Chris, Thanks for your comment. Sushi is edible art. I would never have guessed that the image was sushi, either. My usual way of working is to play with the pixels, and let the image tell me what to do. Mar 14th
79 Mar 25 Reply Thanks Lauren. I am confused about your phonr comment. Mar 14th
79 Mar 25 Reply Thank you, but I cannot answer your question because I didn't label my layers. I tried different spherical settings with different mezzopoint settings, i kept getting different results. This was my favorite of almost 50 trials. Mar 11th
