I like the angle of view but other than "this is a train" I'm not sure what the image says.

Love the saturation on this edited version. Would like to see a bit more light on her face...might try dodging a bit there. I've found that using a new layer set to "overlay" or "soft light" and working with a low opacity brush gives me the most control in dodge/burn....how are you doing it?

I generally do not enjoy motion blur of this type...it just makes me dizzy to look at an image like this. However, I think it adds a lot to the mood of the subject and rescues what is otherwise a distracting background from interfering. It seems that the effect has created a halo around your lady's head that isn't in the orignal (thanks for including that for comparison, btw)...is there some way of avoiding it? Perhaps you could burn the highlights out of the halo and some of the background elements?

it's nice, actually....i wonder what it would be with a (very) little fill on the right side of your face...but it has a special mood the way it is...lovely profile. and i like the way you've used the negative space..it says alot that right off anyone with a background in Amer. Lit. knows that you're going for a Sam Clemens character.

Nice! What a pleasant composition for those falls! Wonderful study in motion and pattern!

I know exactly where that was taken as I dropped my lens hood into those waters last year about this time....you didn't see it, did you? ;-)

Wow! It's Our Sacred Heart Church in Binghamton...well, Johnson City, actually! OdysseyF22 is this yours?

Edit to say" My mistake! I never imagined a place so like the one I know would also be elsewhere.

Sour Grape

I love the concept! Nice, simple composition spiced with a helping of humor. One gripe about the grape, though, it looks like a green grape that's been color shifted...red grapes don't have the same type of striations on the skin and the stem has gone a bit saturated on the yellows...but I could be wrong.
