Where did you go?

I like this one a lot.

Nice one, congrats!

haha some Space money

Hey Z I shuold have noticed this before but maybe this will help for future chops. The perspective of the floor is way off. It looks like you are looking "down" on the floor.

I resized the floor vertically by making it smaller. Then used Edit > Transform > Perspective. The "grid" on the floor should be smaller in the back and larger in the front.

Here is a jpg but ignore the leg distortion.

A little soft, but a nice, peaceful shot.

You have got time, work on Rob's shoulders and arms. Maybe an oval mask job?

Very nice Zizounai

I like this shot showing the vulnerability of the fragile world around us, yet so peaceful and magical. Technically a well-constructed photograph. Nice.

I would think about blending the arm so it doesn't look so cut sharply. It makes it look a little cut and pastey... but that's just me... FUN IDEA!

yes I gave permission

3rd place for seestah Zizounai

Win some lose some

Bonjour cherie...CONGRATULATIONS on this bonsai tree.

Excellent and on theme ! Good luck author

Love it... congrats....

I love the light and shadows and that rusty pot. A very unique entry. One of my favorites.

Very clever and well done with using Thai curly script on that sign. You've incorporated two Buddha faces with opacity being nicely lost on the distant one and the Thai dragon is there too but the Thai woman is protected by Buddha. Imagination +++++. I also like the use of yellow fog to give it that other worldly feel.

Much Better.

Congrats!

Congrats!

Congratulations

Congratulations.

UGH! (great job) but still... UGH!

The light is obviously meant to be dim but the right side of the elephant is still brighter than the left side near the candle. It should be the opposite way around in my opinion since the candle is still the light source in the dim shrine.

A blessing to go shopping? Does he give you money to spend too?
I think it needs a bit more light on the candle side of the elephant.

I was here, I was here when my husband ran the Firenze Marathon. Ohhhh this brings back memories, thank you for this post.

We are polar opposites but we get along.

Brian is better but we all know he's a barbearian! I just have to hope he doesn't get grizzly with me!

Sharp as a pin, saturation not overcooked, belly button POV!

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.....what a difference! Thank you. I thought it was slanted a wee bit but I am wrong, the photo is straight and all those lines within tantalize us visually. The man on the L is exactly where he is supposed to be , photographically and compositionally speaking. Very lovely.

I could "bearly" contain myself upon viewing!

Yes, the natural pathway of the human eye (the western eye) is to read from L to R and that is why images look stronger when composed that way....I think there is a vast improvement

Better serve that one customer quickly. He looks like he could be a real bear if he doesn't get good service.

Love the quietness of this dance and the concentration on the face of this performer. (Cambodia ? ? ? )

Nice strong image, unpretentious and well done in post processing although the clouds do show as overworked giving a bit of a surreal feel, a good thing since this is a graveyard.

Have you tried flipping this horizontally so that the angel is on the L side? You have a strong "punctum" in this image of the statue and the nice diffused background supports the main focal point.

Lovely image.... congrats....

Congrats for second place Zizounai ! Love it

Monkey Karaoke.

Damnnnnn that's a big ass squirrel.

Maybe some shadow beneath the frame on her legs?

This one looks like a live real time photograph. No PS involved, but I could be wrong.

Congratulations on second place.

She is absolutemente gorgeous .... congrats!

Yes, to this one...congrats !

Nice one, congrats!

A good illusion but a couple of touch ups are needed.....On the right beside her legs are a couple of stray paint spots and just under the frame on the same side, it looks like you accidentally cloned part of the frame onto the ground.

A train station! Ha, you lucky girl to be able to capture this, it is still on my 'to do' list before I hit the graveyard.
