I love this Peter. Very creative. Whet generated the long striped triangle bottom center (black, green and yellow stripes)? Posted: 03/11/2025 12:36:22
Thank you, but I cannot answer your question because I didn't label my layers. I tried different spherical settings with different mezzopoint settings, i kept getting different results. This was my favorite of almost 50 trials. Posted: 03/11/2025 16:14:15
Hi Peter, From an art standpoint I like your rendering because there is so much to consider including the meaning of the sharp, striped section at lower center. Another view might be to make that area black like the section adjacent to the right which results in a black silhouette figure. And make a stick more subtle. It's great fun to play with another photographer's image! Karl Posted: 03/12/2025 09:48:25
Thanks for your inciteful remark. Sometimes it's more fun to play with other people's images. All too often, it takes me a very long time to select which image I want to use, and what
to do with it. My younger daughter is my biggest critic. I once mumbled that I don't know what to do with an image. I will not repeat her answer, but I will NEVER ask her that question again. BTW she is a director of creative solutions for a radio division of a large media company, and Andy Warhole was her art mentor when she was first starting out. Posted: 03/14/2025 16:28:58

Very creative and delicious editing. I am at a loss for words since I don't have the same phone. I think the person image my eye caught as well, and I wondered if you saw it too? Posted: 03/12/2025 14:24:09
Thanks Lauren. I am confused about your phonr comment. Posted: 03/14/2025 16:06:41
I would have NEVER guessed the original was a plate of sushi (my favorite). Quite creative! Posted: 03/13/2025 19:19:52
Hi Chris, Thanks for your comment. Sushi is edible art. I would never have guessed that the image was sushi, either. My usual way of working is to play with the pixels, and let the image tell me what to do. Posted: 03/14/2025 16:13:30
Amazing! Posted: 03/14/2025 16:41:22
