These are a great combination of shots. Things haven't changed... Color in the 2000's and B&W in the 50's. Wonderful addition to the image.

WoW... what a change. I was very surprised by the change in position of the ... tube like thing... sorry, I don't know what it is. You surely brightened up an otherwise flat image. I like it.

Just an observation, I was left wanting to see what was in the scene in the droplet.

I agree with everything Roz offered. She is a doll!!!!

Your work turned out beautifully. I agree about the crop. I think I would crop it to the aspect ratio of the cover of Parenting Magazine; suggesting, obviously, not only is the child, but the image, is ready for the cover.

When I saw the original, I thought to my self... oops, he had his camera set for incandescent when he was out doors. Why would I think that, because I do it all the time. Silly me...

You recovered very nicely. I don't know why the previous commenter saw a green cow, I don't.

When I looked at the after image, my eye was drawn to the blur around the cow's right ear... where you cloned out the tree. At first glance I didn't recall there was a tree there and I assumed this was a case of Gaussian blur going wrong when bumped against an edge. I tried such things and always end up with an obvious blur ring around the non-blurred subject. However, I am not sure that is what happened here because I don't see the same thing on the other ear.

In any case, nice job.

Great job. I love the texture you got from the feathers. I agree about eye catch lights... they should always be one. I have added them when none was present. ;-)

I think I am going to have to try shooting RAW for a while. Nice work.

Well, it certainly is amazing. It is hard to predict what score are forthcoming in challenges. I, for one, would be perfectly happy with a 5.7. :)

That is very nice indeed. You certainly made the spider the focus of the image. Great workmanship.

Well, I guess I have been given my marching orders: clone out the red signs.

I really appreciate all the kind words about my efforts. It means a lot to me coming from such talented artists.

Interesting transformation. I understand the curves, contrast etc, but I don't understand the change in truck shape. Oh, you cloned out your reflection in the bumper as well. Great job.
