Very nice processing, and great pair of expressions to work with. I like the tones and the softness of the image, and the recolor of the blue shirt makes it blend in much better. The only thing I might suggest is trying to reduce the hot spots on the left face. Nicely done! :-)

What a cool composite! L really like what you did with the moth... he pops right out of the screen. If this were something I was going to print or keep, I think I would lose the border all together. I think the greens in the moth are more powerful without it, and it would accentuate the negative black space in the composition. Very nicely done!

This is a very impressive edit. The sepia tone works VERY well, and I really like the gradient or darkening in the sky. FYI, I voted this WAY higher than a 6.5

Hello! I got to your profile through the"Undiscovered Gems" thread. This phot is AMAZING! I was trying to figure out the scale, until I found the pine tree on the right. Then I liked this even more. Just a great photo!

Read your comments up there, and I definitely would have lied and said that was the name of the boat. Who would have known? I'm also curious if you can give the translations for BEGINNERS LUCK! Or how about, "Let's see you do that again THIS week!" :-)

Seriously though, one of my top three for this challenge, and already making a home in my favorites. Excellent work!

I didn't vote in this challenge, so I saw this in the before and after side challenge. Quite a striking image, and I think you made and excellent decision to conver to B&W. Crazy how from the thumbnail that scarf absolutely disappears!

Very NICE edit. The first thing I noticed was of course, the tree. But then you follow the tree branches out, and there is a whole other picture to look at in there. Very, very interesting! Glad you pulled this out and blew the dust off!

From the thumbnail I thought that bird was on fire! (or made to look like it.) I was afraid to open this and see all of the outraged hollering in the comments! Silly me...it's just a magical chickadee. Everybody likes those!
