Your experimentation is beautiful, Klaus! I love the tones of blue and gold together. This rather graphic form is pleasing to the eye. A first-class rendition using the tools available.

I would possibly think it could be improved even more by integrating some changes to the light rays to look more like "foggy/transparent" rays. But that's just one opinion, of course. :)

VERY nice indeed.
 
Aah, Klaus, congratulations are in order! Your creative eye is certainly serving you well. :)

I also agree with Laurence. May I suggest you add an extra 3 or so starbursts on top of the one you have there? Blur the bottom one quite a lot and increase transparency on it so you can only just see it. Blur the next a little less and a little less transparency. Repeat with last bursts adding less blur and transparency each time.

Keep on experimenting, my friend, it makes a difference not only to your life, but mine as well! :)

Sincere regards, Jim Roelofs

Jim, that is the phrase I was trying to think of : "increase transparency".

And I like the idea of a few more starburst rays.

Just think, Klaus! If you just listen to us all day about our own opinions, you won't have to think of anything! :z04_kaputtlachen: (By the way, of all the little emoticons available, I love this one with the little guy rolling on the floor and laughing...but then again, it doesn't take much to entertain me).

Jim, I meant to ask: Are the terrrible wildfires and heat wave affecting you in your area?

Thanks for your concern, Laurence. The nearest fire is around 30 kilometres away from where I live, but when you consider I live in a relative suburban situation with no neighbouring eucalyptus bushland, the threat is considerably diminished.

Sincere regards, Jim Roelofs
 
Hi Klaus,

Thank you for showing the different images that combine the one. That is really cool how it all goes together.

I also like the first one as a favorite!!

And, I look forward to seeing more pics from your creative process and camera!

Sincerely,


Robert
 
Hello Reporter ...

You requested I message you. I'm interested to read what sort of commission you might have for me?

It's been such a long time since I visited here, I do not remember anything about what you have responded to.

But, just the same, I'm always looking for commissions that I can fulfill. ;)

Sincere regards, JR
