Thanks Angel.... will do some corrections....

Thanks...

Noooo, the cat is just flabbergasted by the presence of the fish in such an unusual place, he his not scarred at all. He is just nervous as he'd like to catch them. Hope he doesn't before the vote is over...

...and I was thinking all along of all the reproaches you would find about the plants, the shadows etc... (I swear it it true). When you look at the main source image (the bench and the cat), the photo itself has character, as it is full of grain and undercontrasted. The challenge was to find a balance between the fish and this source image Thanks for the compliments, it means a lot coming from you.

I also wait for the entries to turn yellow before I vote. But I always know when you've done it

The noise was a good "selling point" when I looked at your final image vs the sources. The background was relatively noise free as well as most of the fish. The cat scene and that bending fish were chock full of noise. You took care of that and balanced it well in your final image as you said. And to me, cutting out all the frilly stuff on the seahorse and jelly fish is a plus as not everyone does that.

I need to make a rubber stamp image with "BWR Approved" on it. Something like this. www.goo.gl/wG11bk

Thank you B

Thanks BWR. The train was not too hard to cut out using channel masks. Thankfully the sky and the top of the train had good contrast.
Channel masks are great.

Yea I thought about that after I made my post. Good thinking on that technique. Such a time saver. You so smart.

Thanks Olga. If you are unsure about channel masks, check this tutorial....

Channel masks work best on images with good contrasting areas.

Thanks BWR

I did some changes... I think you got it right... I hope I did.... thanks Driven....

Add a yellow tone for a better « French provincial environment » ha ha !!!
Indeed, this looks exactly like my referring physician’s waiting room. This is a typical French doctor’s waiting room actually: old mismatched pieces of furniture, rococo tapestry, dusty fireplace, antique carpets… And our doctors use to receive there old ladies, kids, gentlemen, homeless people and punks as well. Nothing out of place in this chop from my point of view.
Dear friend and author, I suggest you would come and visit sometime along with Drivenslush. I would be glad to organize a Doctors Waiting Rooms Tour for you, and probably the other French Pxleyes team members such as Denlig and Lolu too.
Thanks for making me smile this morning

French People are Weird! (FLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE)

Well, yes of course French people are weird, but not as weird as Floridians

Thanks Driven....
