Hi Neal,
Nice composite image. The vibrant colors surrounding and framing your grandson adds impact. Perhaps I would darken or tone down the bright area below his feet.   Posted: 05/12/2022 15:01:43

Hi Neal: A very interesting example of creative post processing work to arrive at the finished picture. The image is very well composed, also the vibrant colors really add to the overall impact of the image. Excellent work !!   Posted: 05/12/2022 18:48:51

This is a wonderful image where an interesting subject is clearly shown in the midst of a plethora of vibrant colors. I might suggest though that this particular image is not a close-up image. Yes, you have closed-in to your subject from a distance, but the subject size is that of a small child. My understanding is that the subject size of close-up images should be roughly the size of a loaf of bread or smaller (my crude definition) and that macro subjects are roughly the size of a postage stamp or smaller. It's a fine image but does it belong in this group ? Just my thoughts …   Posted: 05/21/2022 11:06:54

Interesting and creative image. I agree with Barbara about toning down the bright area below your grandson's feet.   Posted: 05/24/2022 20:27:23

Creative idea that worked out very well. The bright colors surrounding your grandson add to the whimsy of the image. I like his position in the frame and the fact that he is looking downward with a little trepidation. (?)   Posted: 05/26/2022 07:38:15
