BORING DOMESTICITY MESSED WITH
I love to mess about with editing and seeing what comes out of it. I could not repeat any of these images.

WRONG TITLE
I loaded this into a group called The Art of Meddling, and it was rejected. The picture is a very good example of what you get when you meddle.

LUCY IN THE SKY
I just messed about with the photograph of a luscious, large green tree against a nice blue background with the clouds, but I decided that was boring, so this is what I did to it.

Painterly. Beautiful. I usually don't care for cropping there, either cut off the top of the head or give a little more room, but it works here well. Background adds a real richness. Well done!
Thank you!
I don't really mind the crop. The transition between the top of her head and background is not very abrupt and blends in so softly that I hardly even see the top of her head / transition anyway. Otherwise I would probably be more inclined to agree with you.
Think we're saying the same thing...in this case, due to the softness, it works well. Nice image, Rusian.
Yes, my brain zeroed in on the "either cut off the top of the head or give a little more room" part I completely missed the fact that you think it works well here as well.
Well done Ruslan, beautifully lit, posed, and the elegance of the long Neck, gracefully turned, Bravo.
Beautiful lighting and post processing. Colors are great. Gives a very painterly vibe.
This is an amazing portrait and I love the painterly quality and lighting. I would love to be able to produce images as beautiful, how did you place and use lighting here?
