Feedback welcomed.
I couldn't decide between #1 and #2 - and tomorrow may find me with 3 or 4
Also attached is the photo I started with. I call this "harvesting pixels" per MinnieV's term a few years ago. The design of the flattened dead weed lying on the pavement caught my eye, so I photo'd!
The bird is a brush, the primary design is a preset from Studio 2, the moon is mine, as is the brush I used to make the patterns in the water.
Your creativity is always welcome, Linda, bring on more.
I really like the 1st one, Linda. All are quite good, though.
#2 is my favorite. Nice edit.
Well Done !!! If I were deciding between the 2 of them #2 would be my choice.
I was originally drawn to #2, but in comparison found it too bright, especially the branches which make them the primary focus. #1 sets a better mood with the moon, darker background, and added detail. Great foresight, imagation, and finished product. I would hang it on a wall!
Many thanks to everyone for your time and interest. Lazy J, I very much appreciate your mentioning the bright branches in #2 and the reasons #1 works better for you. It helps a great deal to understand the "why" of other people's preferences.
The colours in #2 seem to hang together better, plus I don't care for the bubbly sky in #1 and the moon isn't quite round. Pinkish moons don't work for me either. Perhaps a fainter and more blue moon would work well in #2.
It appears to me that you accomplished what you desired technically in #1.
In MO I like.

Thanks for the feedback and suggestion, R.G. Gonna try your blue moon!
