Interesting, Unca B. I'm curious about your color choices. I see a nice hint of the Dr. Pepper maroon color in the sign, some metallic blueish in the right headlight, and just a hint of yellow in the clouds. I assume those bricks still have some color, as does the sky. How did you decide which colors to include and which to leave out?

Wanted to learn a bit about using Beveled. Took a simple image and made it look like it was on a plater or something. Working toward creating another image that will have soft, flowing, rounding curves.

OK, I'll bite: what the devil is Beveled?

AI WARNING

All three images are from MidJourney.

What I need from you is an honest critique on the composite. I appreciate emojis and "well done" BUT from you folks that make composite images: What is right, what is wrong. Be truthful and brutal. I am not happy with my skill and I need your help

Perhaps its just a quirk of my brain, but I prefer things that move from left to right. Some have said it is because I'm right handed, some that it would be different if I'd learned to read Chinese, but, as Popeye had it, I yam what I yam.

Here I get stuck a bit in the larger left hand buildings. So perhaps you could just reverse the background, or simply reverse the entire thing, and see what you think.

And I agree that the kids look like giants, which I suspect is not your intent.

Otherwise, pretty darn interesting.

oops, the title was above my upper margin when looking at the photo. When I show a photo usually I add it in the title line that comes with adding the photo. My goof not looking.

No worries. Would that my own goofs added up to so very very little. Indeed, my initial response to your goof was my own goof, having not decoded your remark to indicate that you thought there was no title, while I thought you meant the title was wanting. I would welcome you to the Brotherhood of Goofies, but I don't think you qualify.

The colours are beautiful. I really like the sparcity of the tree.

Thanks you. I'm glad you agree about the elegance of the tree branches.

I think it works for an uplifting mood (both in color and the design of the limbs) and, as tcthome says, as an example of excellent minimalism.

I very much like the slight diagonal of the slightly soft clouds. You have a great artistic eye, Sam!

Thanks so much Linda. Like so many of us, I get lucky every little once in a while.

Well, there is a title: By The Dawn's Early Light, referring to the morning sky and the tree's location at Baltimore's Fort McHenry. As for one's response to the image, I think the ambiguity you experience can be an advantage.

You did a fine job with using the early morning sky and the tree is reaching for it! Great job! Love the Y-shaped tree!

Thank you, Veronica.
