Very effective work with Topaz -- the perfect subject. Really brought out the light and texture. Of course it didn't hurt to have a fabulous subject to shoot for this challenge. Congratulations on your ribbon!

How beautiful and precious. I love the "painted" field and background with the natural look horses. They too look a little painted, but not too much. Wonderful image.

The Fog

Oh, Kelli, I love the light (as in lighting) in this shot. Actually I like everything about it. The only thing missing is the light in the lighthouse. I thought they were supposed to shine in the fog -- the whole purpose of a lighthouse. :) I like the composition and the tiny people there for perspective. Really excellent, IMHO.

Good work masking the ground -- it's interesting, but still allows the handsome subject to stand out. Speaking of which, that handsome subject looks like he better get out of the sun now! ;)

Love the color, and you really did bring out the softness in the feathers. What an adorable little fuzzball!

This is like HDR to the max. It eliminated all the variations in exposure. It looks like an architect's rendering. Actually I like the original very much, especially the feeling of distance. I like what Topaz did for the plants in this version, but I like the smoothness of the building and skylight in the original.

It brought out the details nicely and gave it a very nice atmosphere. I really like what you did with the background and border. I just wish that lovely golden color wasn't lost. I think this makes him look a bit dirty -- at least compared with the original.
