I am glad you are thick skinned to handle me saying I love your photos and the different styles you present. Please submit more.

Since you asked. . . . The first two are really pretty, but to my taste a bit over-saturated. (OK, a LOT over saturated.) The balance of the images are simply not to my taste. I'm a realist and, whike I realize that what you have done is considered to be artistic, it simply isn't to my taste. I'm sure a lot of people will love them. They are well done - except for the bear. Somehow it doesn't work at all and I'm not sure why.

Interesting use of filters. The colorful last image would make a great wall-hanger for an interior design.

First picture hands down beautiful.

I love your dramatic processing. My favorite is the giraffe (I think🤔). The only thing I might play with a bit is the red nostrils on the Bear. Maybe just tone it down a bit?

I am very interested in feedback for my photos. Yes, I do manipulate some of these pics. Please tell me what you think.

I am thick skinned so be upfront with your comments

Nice artful set. Like AzPicLady stated, I also am a realist in that I wish my images to be accurate to the critter. The false colors and over-plain backgrounds leave me cold. Too much can ruin images.

Not all are my style but I like them all. My favorite by far is the Gulls with the first shot running a distant second. I'm curious what program(s) did you use for processing.

Hi,

Thanks for the kind words and the special mention of the gulls. One of my best and one of the hardest to do. I do not believe I could replicate it now. I most use use, Photoshop, ON1, Topaz,,they each have unique qualities. I must say creating these is great fun.

Thanks for taking a look...I was expecting the realists would not be in favor of these photos but I must say about 85-90% have enjoyed them. It is an acquired taste and not for all but I do appreciate you took the time to respond. Much appreciated,
Andrew

Hi Linda,

Thanks for your kind comments. The giraffe is also one of my favorites. I will look at the bear again and see if I can tone down the lips.

Again thanks,
Andrew

Hi Sippyjug 104,

Thanks for your kind comments. I didn't use filters. It was all manipulated thru photo apps..like Photoshop, Topaz and ON 1 for the most part. I agree the Flamingo would make a fantastic hanger for a large room.

Again thanks,
Andrew

Hi AzPicLady,

I understand your response. I was expecting comments like yours but have been presently surprised that most of the comments have been 80-90%..a happy surprise. I appreciate you took the time to view the photos and wrote about your response. That means a lot to me.

Much thanks,

They are all very nice. The seagulls looks like a pencil and watercolor painting. The last one is romantic. The first one is fantastic. I love bright colors and this jumps off the page. Thanks for asking for opinions. You certainly have a great selection of interesting and beautiful photos.
