The oreos look delicious but the photo is spoiled by all that added noise. I can see a plain background without noise behind the oreos and then a definite line around them where the noise starts.

Poor puppy. I hope he managed to get free of the wire.

Hahahaha.. Reading this is hilarious. Check your spelling of balcony. That appears to be the reason for the balony joke.

Good photo BTW.

The skin color is real nice but you need to fix the hand on our right. There is a wavy section above her index finger which you colored brown but it should be dark blue because it is the shadow of the hand on the jeans, not part of her hand. I know you can easily fix it.

They are adorable.

Beautiful.

That's a very scary looking spider.

That makes more sense. Would save a lot of fussing about with manually changing focus.

It amazes me how people who dress up as these living statues can stand in one place for so many hours.

Excellent work

Congratulations on 4th Randy. It's a great chop.

Congratulations on scooping the pool George. Well done.

Brilliant.

How did you manage to get the cat to stay in exactly the same position for two shots while you changed focus ?

What a lot of fun. Makes me want to be a kid again.

Merry Xmas back to you.

Congratulations on 2nd and 3rd Sylvie

Gorgeous. One of your best shots.

You forgot the bottle and glass source.

Very nice capture.

Fascinating. Is it just a glass sculpture hung from the ceiling or did they actually turn all those glasses into lights?

The crystal glass is very pretty and is reflecting lovely colors but that background bokeh is very patchy with too much texture for my liking. Is that because of a filter or something else? I think it would look better if you blurred it out to smooth out all that patchiness unless its some artistic filter that you personally like? After all you are the artist and you need to please yourself not amateur critics like me.
Personally I just like smooth bokehs.

I like the way the reflections of the colors get flipped horizontally by the front glass. Fascinating and very artistic.

I really like the oil paint filter on the glass but I don't like what it has done to the black edges which frame the glass pieces. On the high res, those black flames look distorted, smudged and wobbly. You could fix it by selecting the black areas with the rectangular marquee tool and painting black into the selections. That should straighten out all the edges again.

The reflections are fascinating and look to me like a cityscape but the high res version has lots of horrible jpeg artifacts on it maybe due to oversharpening?
They need smoothing out.

I agree they should have dressed warmer.
Your comments are always amusing and very entertaining.

Better watch out that tick doesn't suck all the xmas spirit out of you... Pass the beer.... Hickup.

Well at least you appreciate corny humor.

Very bouncy but if keeps bouncing around, the glass is sure to break. Smashing potential.

I love this. The unusual bottle shapes are very artistic and it has a magical feel with the light reflections on the wall. Very nicely done.

A beautiful child with gorgeous eyes.

A very handsome young man.

How adorable.

YUM

Congratulations Sylvie.
