Ms Evans if this was an exercise in low light shooting it would seem to be a success other than the horizons need straightening.
I am a little puzzled because when looking at the exif info the first two shots were NOT taken with a 50mm lens and the second two are thumb nail size on download with exif missing? If you have a 50mm prime they are a fine tool and good way to master basic techniques but it appears not to have been used here.

It seems some are happier with a title or description so this is to be known as Love is like a Rock.

Makes a lot of sense, for a good "flower shot." This was a bit different. Carelessly shot to be included in a message to the giver of the flower, and about to be trashed, I noticed two things that interested me: the fallen leaf and the terrible DOF, in which only some leaves, not the flower, were in focus.

"Why not," I thought, "create a statement about the living now?" The bloom passes, the leaves fall and die, but the essence, life, lives. So, I did a LOT of post processing to tone down areas that distracted, to bring up the living leaves in the sunlight, to change the color of the fallen leaf.

I get the feeling that, despite the work, the idea might be too much of a stretch!

Your picture is not without interest and it seems to meaning for you. I'm sure your aware your not the first camera user who attempted to make statements with their work. Many are seen as charlatans, of some it is said the kangaroos are loose in the top paddock and a tiny few are recognized as genuine artists with work that deserves to be taken seriously. I do not have either the right or experience to judge you and just wish you well on your quest.
It may help your cause if you mastered certain camera skills and produced work that was in focus. I am no photography expert but would suggest using your camera in a fully automatic mode which will allow you time to concentrate on subject matter and composition.
I believe you asked for the viewers interpretation of your image? Well no amount of PP is going to make it an acceptable stand alone picture irrespective of any hidden meaning but as background shot its failings can be hidden.
This is just a picture artBob I do not have your vision to spot meanings in images.

The "why" isn't important, just want to know if it's possible, same image, just trying to avoid manually starting the action a lot of times...


Then I could possibly have saved my breath and just said NO

Hello,

I am wondering if it is possible to have an action repeat a specific number of times (such as 50) at a specific interval (such as every 5 seconds)?

Thank you,
Dave


An action surely works on the picture that's in the active window? so if it was possible why would you want an action repeated multiple times on the same image or you hoping to automate the change of images as well? No timer on PS so actions have to be started manually anyway.
If your wanting the same edits contained within an action to apply to 50 different photographs then you need software that will process a batch of pictures in an identical manner automatically. I think Lightroom has this facility.

There are many "no-no's" in this, and a few "yes-yes's." I am interested in how you perceive it. After comments, I will share what I HOPED to express.


A quote by Ernst Haas

“There is only you and your camera. The limitations in your photography are in yourself, for what we see is what we are.”

More no-no's than yes-yes's for me but like to think Haas was correct.

If your a Photoshop user you really need the pen tool for this. Watch a vid tutorial on Youtube showing how to use it and with 30 mins practice you will have mastered it. The other Photoshop tools to select items may struggle as the car merges into the background in places.
Once you background is eliminated select the car by clicking on it in the layers panel then hit Ctrl/j and your car will be on a new layer. Go>File Save as and save as a PNG file which will have a transparent background.
