Crikey, that’s a nice one Frank! I love that ladies outfit. It all goes together really well. You could soften the edges of the cow and the building a little to help them blend with the scene, it’s a matter of choice. A very attractive image.

You’re very lucky having a fair like that so close Don, everything I want to visit is a minimum of two hours drive away. That’s OK until it’s time to drive two hours back!
You’ve made a great job of this image, it really has the feel you were after. I keep fiddling with a composite aimed at creating a Gustave Moreau-look Salome but haven’t succeeded yet. Of course, I’m making hard work for myself trying to use own-produced textures. I have the old (pre-Studio) Topaz set, maybe I’ll dive into those if they still wind up OK. I really like your result, well done!

A very nice piece of compositing Jim, you made a great job of creating the background you wanted - and picked a stunning lady too! Makes a lovely image.

Yes, I see him bottom left and his human bottom right. On the left those are parrots flying by fast...as a blur. Takes practice magnetoman it is a way of escaping boredom. Pareidolia can cause people to interpret random images, or patterns of light and shadow, as faces.

I kinda saw that but the rest didn’t seem to make sense - that’s what happens when you don’t suffer from Pareidolia!

The parrot connection is a little vague for me - but I have a lousy imagination - and I do like the colours!

Don, you’ve just wrecked Christmas for all your DA buddies, there should have been a warning in the title, a headless Santa is just too much for us genteel types! Excuse me…..I’ve just thrown up in the cracker box.
Is there any news of Rudolph?🛷🛷🛷

Definitely looks seasonal. You’re becoming the master of the candle look!

I rather like the abstract that resulted. Nicely done.

Mike got it wrong Jack, you must be the cool dude in the pinstripe suit with your lady telling you what to get her!
All nicely done - and I really don’t want to imagine what some of the instructions were that got those characters!

I’d like to see it as was first intended Jack, or something near, so that will be my initial aim. It strikes me that an aged look of a good image is easier to achieve than a part-restoration trying to maintain that look, so maybe that could follow.
I too have tried one or two ideas on small areas but ended up thinking cloning was the way forward. Of course, I’m also attacking a couple of unrelated composite projects so priority changes are likely! It’s a mighty long time ago that I first fiddled with the steamer. I’ll try the contrast/dehaze routes you mention. Thanks for that. I’ll post it again when there’s something worth commenting upon.

Could almost be taken in the ‘30’s! We have the same conundrum of folk needing work/small businesses looking for hands here in the UK. I take Dennis’ point but there must be some underlying reason why it happens. I need to get my Woody Guthrie albums out, there may be some answers there I’ve forgotten!

Lovely shots of a lovely young lady. Skin tone and clarity is so good at that age. Nicely done.
