Tegan is quite lovely, I think the techniques you used for this worked extremely well. It's a masterpiece.

I wish DPC would get with the program and incorporate some challenges that encourage these and other 'unconventional' editing techniques. It's so much more interesting working outside the box and exercising our creative license in unique and different ways!

Blurry walk

Comment:
The pidgeons and umbrella actually do make this work! Without them, it's just a guy walking.. which isn't all that bad.. but the extras definitely add something to the mix, beings the blur points to those elements. I can't look at this too long, it kind of makes me dizzy. But it has a dreamlike feel to it.. like something out of a Bergman film!!!

The glow you achieved here works perfectly for these candles. I prefer vanilla berry! ;-)

Clowning BLUR I

Eyes are the widows to the soul and his are definitely disturbed. The blur works very well for this.. clouds the facial features and enhances the sadness in the face. Fill frame close crop works well too!

Nevermore

Comment:
Has kind of a dark Poe feel to it, borders on the macabre. This kind of imagery is very reminiscent of filmwork during the 30s and 40s. Lots of great texture and excellent bird detail.

Very subtle, beautifully captured. Backlighting can be very tricky to accomplish but you definitely nailed this one. Excellent!

Beautiful impressionistic effect. Very turn-of-the-century. The stylized text definitely adds something special to the overall composition.

Ohhhhh! He is just wonderful!!! I'm a Leo (7/26) so I really love lions and he is just magnificent. I like the way you processed this, it borders surreal and yet it's very real indeed. This was a great capture, plz give us details on the PP!

Snowdrops

These are wonderful!!! What a great feeling they emit.. definitely springlike! I particuarly like the soft focus in the background opposing the sharp detail in the foreground. Beautiful flowers bathed in all that fabulous bright light. I'll take snowdrops over snow anyday! ;-)

This came out really nice! I love the sandstone textured look, it appears almost sketchlike and definitely enhances the rainfall. This also has somewhat of an oriental appearance.. must be the umbrellas. Nice play of darks and lights and the colors are very rich. Definitely do more like this!!
