Congrats to Tim and thanks to Lilly! I appreciate your comments on them all.
Loved Dr. Mhuni's entry...

I really like #1. They're all good tho.


I'd be tempted to "clean up" that hill behind the church, i.e. the white areas (rocks?) and there's a bright blue spot at the top of said hill. (and some hot pixels on the right side too?)
I tried it and I think it improves it. I also lifted it a bit in curves and dodged the white robe.

I'd like to see the pre-PP version too.

Just read some of Keitha's blogs and tutorials and am very inspired to play and educate myself more with PP. She is a magician.

I like your picture, Lance, red rose and all. The only thing that bothers me is the purple spot bottom center.

Thanks for sharing these. I think they show your unique eye. I like them all, especially the first.

I too like the original and the portrait crop. Imaginative shot.

Both shots are nice, but the second one gets my vote for its mood, atmosphere and composition, nice one.
Seconded.

Just read these, congrats to Mike - a good one.

But the thought of ruining a perfectly good pair of Prada stilletos makes me queasy....

I agree with Mike somewhat, although I think I like them both as is, too. I like the shapes presented in both, although I think they lack punch.

Think I would lose the top segment in #1, to achieve symmetry. Clone out the hair(?) and adjust levels or curves. Be bold - it's abstract!
