I agree completely that the judge feedback is hugely useful for all the participants, for improve our skills, for learn, for listen other opinions, and mainly (in the today tumultuous world) know somebody give several of his own for you!

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.

Hi Prieni,

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…

Oh! a new face (colors) for the forum site? Or my screen needs calibration?

Renew is live! “Renovarse es vivir”.


Best regards.

Hi All,

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.
The most of time I have my screen in an eye comfortable (low bright-contrast) settings, and just for image editing I switch to the calibrated mode. Probable I didn´t show your image to warm for this reason.

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.
