My personal belief is that the only important thing is the final image. To me, whether the image is realistic is almost irrelevant.

Really nice pics that I could live comfortably with on my walls. Lots of feeling emanating from them.

I remember 3 and I still think the same as I did then, the apparent distance to the horses would have them just coming out of the fog and have more definition, so for that reason I have trouble with the illusion.
2 is the tree against the textured background. Just cropping down to 4x5 to the tip of the upper branch makes it work much better for me.
1 is really lovely. The inconsistency of the fog behind the tree group is more apparent as one sees it larger.

I think #2 and #3 show the best applications of textures to the subject photo, well done on all three though. Lately I have been applying the layers above the main photo and selectively masking away portions of the texture layer(s) to bring out the parts of the photo where I want to have priority showing through. It's hard to describe but it doesn't work very well for landscapes.

So sorry Linda. I'm afraid that I am that realist you made reference to. The current trend toward PP artistic interpretations just does not make my toes tingle. I like the compositions but...
For me the first with the feeling of isolation is the one I come closest to liking.
In the case of these photos---it is me that has the problem, not you. :-(

I think the consensus is that your PP work is not over processed, and I agree. You took three different scenes and worked them well. They each have their own feel and areappropriate to the image.

Thanks so much, Jack. There is no texture on #1. In fact, I tried to blur and soften much of the details I had captured. I understand your comment about masking and I do similar. It was a major struggle for me to learn how to use layers and layer masks, but so glad I stuck with it! I'll have to check #3 again to see exactly what I did.I think #2 and #3 show the best applications of textures to the subject photo, well done on all three though.

Linda, great job. My first reaction was that these (and more) would make for a great book or calendar.
