December 2020

This photo is a big surprise. First of all, it is beautiful to look at, but above all, it expresses tenderness for someone whom we imagine disappeared, but still close in thought. Thank you for this photographic moment full of emotion and grace. I sincerely admire your imagination and your talent. This place is well deserved and thank you for participating in my contest.

As much as the photo on the left is full of questions, the worked photo on the right is a huge surprise, so full of imagination. We are here in the purest fantasy and, technically, the work on the picture is perfect and gives a certain pleasure to see this head which rests on one hand, while the other seems to convey an important message. The well choosen background adds more deepness to the mystery. This is how I feel the strenght of this image. Bravo for this great place and thank you for participating in my contest;

I feel this image as a mystery. The "before" image is abstract and well colored. And like all manipulations in this kind of exercise, the result of “after” is surprising and unclassifiable. But I love this. I like it especially because the colors were arranged according to a very geometric plan, and also very aesthetic with lots of halftones. I admit that this logic, all mathematical, pleases me. Well done for this great place and thank you for participating in my contest.

This image is the perfect combination of photography and painting. Well done the artist! And thank you also for the technical explanations. It's very pleasing to the eye, well composed, and the warm colors and decor hark back to a time in a really distant otherworld. A better world ? This place in the top 10 is really well deserved. Thank you for participating in my contest.

Jumping from the "before" image to the "after" one is not easy, even in imagination. What more can I say here? The "before" image is full of intersecting lines at sharp angles. The impression is hardly softened by a few sinusoidal lines. On the contrary, the "after" image, filled with soft curves that are pleasant to the eye, offers a restful sweetness to the viewer Well done ! Thank you for this beautiful black and white image, and for participating in my contest.

Surprising image. But the result is really cool. I first like the subject, but also and above all the work on the photo to obtain the final result. Just a little regret: I lik to read the explanations on the work, because I love to learn. Thank you for this beautiful and deserved place and for participating in my contest.

Beautiful image, and also what a job! The green background is classic for cropping the image, but this is only the beginning. Thank you for all these explanations which show that nothing is won in advance. The result is up to the task: I too would like to live on this planet with Saturn by my side and a sky to die for astronomers! Thank you for your participation in my contest and once again congratulations on your well-deserved place

How to make a little wonder from a photo that is ultimately quite ordinary, but very colorful? The end result, in the shape of a heart, is truly magnificent. I did not know this photo, nor the technique, which made it possible to arrive at the final result. Well done, artist! This place is really deserved. And thank you for participating in my contest.

I really like this photo: it is well composed and the twirl is very aesthetic. It gives the impression of nature in motion. The yellow color gives this movement a lot of heat. Congratulations on this well-deserved place and thank you for participating in my contest.
