Then the art, will be get no more than the second position, so, if you believe winner, make a little deliberated mistake… (just a joke).
Best regards.

My principal proposes in participate is learn. So, your comments and hints are very welcome.
Thanks for the indications. I will do some tests with the duplicated layer…

My image for the #6´t is done in a real time scenario (especially for the competition).
The wood you see is “Algarrobo”, a kind of “Carob” (Ceratonia siliqua) in Europe. The South America´s genus is Prosopis alba/nigra. Majorly used in furniture production.

This image inspired me today (photographer musa?).
This was of the ´61, when I was 16 (46 years ago). Is in a workshop, building sailplanes (all in wood), you can see some wing ribs, and at the wall two wing spars of the “Fauvel” (French) flying wing.
Things of the past…
Best regards.

I did ask people if they thought it was too warm. Nobody answered so I left it as it was. Slightly disappointed this time, but it means I get to try again next time. It is all about improvement and pleasing the current judje.
Your screen, as mine,may need calibrating. The image is very warm on mine and I wanted a somewhat warm, fire-like yellow-orange tinge.
I really liked your picture, very humanly artistic. Just some kind of attraction to real workmanship.
My screen is a large 21” LCD and when in calibrated mode is a bit bright for text use.
Sorry Tyr, I was not enough head up to your request.
Best regards.
