Is the face appearing in the hair on purpose? These three views do show an interesting evolution of the image, but the manipulations take the images a long way from photographic. I like the first cell best, I find it interesting how the facial lines seem most appearant in the starkest view. 7 Rob the Swash

Nice picture. The city line below looks great, it's just a shame that once i saw the bird it kept dragging my eye away from the cable car.

Hello from the C.C.!
It seems you had a good idea with this photo. I'm guessing you were trying to compare, in a certain way, the dandelion to the clouds? I like the simplicity of the shot.
It's obvious, as many people noted, this picture is overprocessed. You can tell from the graininess of the sky. What were you trying to correct? Whatever it was, you need to try to correct it with your technique, not an editing program.

It's not usually a good idea to place your subject in the center of the frame, it makes for a little too much simplicity. Try observing the "Rule of Thirds" in photos like this one.

I hope my comments will be of some help, that's all I intend. Photography has a learning curve, like anything.

the bird distracts a bit, and i almost would have cropped the city out. i love the red against the blue sky. nicely done.

Love the way you've caught a splash of vibrant red amongst all the blue here - very nice shot indeed.

I like the use of PS filters here (photocopy? + ?)
