Great capture of not only the image, but the strength of the person as well. Nicely done.

Solid results in tough circumstances. I do like the action capture of the holder of the dragons head.

Your eye for patterns and composition is so creative. And you seem to capture the light in the most appealing way in your images. Thanks for sharing your beautiful work.

Linda, I feel your pain! I am in the exact same position! As the Mac iOS systems advance, many of the older Intel-based apps will cease to function. And now that Topaz has stopped supporting Studio 2 with any updates I fear that once the mac OS goes to any further iterations, those older programs will stop functioning completely. And I agree – I love Studio 2.

PS - I really like your concept of "alphabet photography." - How creative a way to view different subjects!

Lovely capture and really nice post processing.

Interesting foreground pattern on the first image. I like the way it contrasts with the line of the mountains in the background.

Your patience really paid off. Most excellent image.

Lovely series, and the muted colors and misty look of the third image are really appealing. Very nice work

Would have made a great 60s album cover… Beautiful work.

When times are good, praise the Lord. When times are difficult, praise the Lord. He will always comfort His people who turn to Him. Hallelujah.

Also, some older applications, such as Topaz Studio 2 and others need to have the newer Macs (M1 and M2) running on Rosetta in order to function. As the OS continues to advance, support for these older programs, as has happened often in the past, will disappear and the older programs will no longer be functional. Since Topaz has ended support and no longer updates its Studio 2 application, it is only a matter of time until an OS upgrade will send these programs to the boneyard. I don't need all the whistles and bells of the newest OS and will be sticking with Ventura and Topaz.

Clearly you have not visited the Christian Photography section in a long time. Even a brief look would show categorically that the posts there are affirming, positive, and express a love and longing for Jesus - exactly what the section was intended to present. There has not been one h**eful, accusatory or hostile posting in well over a year (which is as far back as I looked) there. But I suppose that nowadays the issue of a Christian's faith is cause for immediate rejection, fear and hatred, as is so clearly expressed in your narrow post.

Please move past the negativity that you have found and continue to post these moving, important images.

Your image is powerful, moving and true. I am saddened by the folks who simply must condemn that which they themselves do not believe. Please reconsider posting future images, and stay strong in the faith. God bless you.
