| Laurie Thompson | Nice
idea for this image. Really enhances the background. Since there is
more area in the original photo in front of the temple I think that
would allow for the wood texture to continue at the lower edge to close
the image at the bottom.
It would help to dupe and flip the texture image and add that as you
have done at the top. |
| Ruth Rittichier | That's
a beautiful ancient structure. The
old wood
textired framing is a good way to hide things you don't want in the
image, such as a bald sky, and is very complimentary to the subject.
To put emphasis on the structure itself, and subdue that brilliant
sky, I would turn the whole image to a soft sepia, then restore all
the reds/oranges in the temple, and 50% restore some of the greens
around the oranges. The effect would be very elegant. |

| Phillipa Frederiksen | A
very sensitively constructed image. I
just love that texture! At the moment the texture and background seem
to have more prominence than the temple. Perhaps it could be subdued a
little and the colours and structure of the temple brought out more? |
| Anna Goodchild | This
is a very effective treatment –
so effective that I thought it was simply an image of a Balinese
artifact! But, knowing Hillary a little, I knew there would be a more
creative angle to it! The texture of the burnt wood comes is very good
– almost to the point that it looks to me like an embroidery.
The
best use has been made of the best parts of the image. Again, I do not
know the applications that have been used to finish the image. Could it
do with a bit of shadow to give it more depth? |
| Peter Rowley | The subject and treatment lend an air of
Eastern mystique to the final work. The burnt wood effect at the edge
increases the effect of age well, and in the middle lends a relief
effect. A nice combination of colours in the orange and green. |

Biography
Photography became a hobby for me 15 years ago after attending a ‘camera basics’ course with a friend. Although I didn’t own a SLR camera at the time, I was hooked by the end of the second class! Wanting to be with others who shared my passion for photography, I joined a camera club in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The following year I joined another camera club as well as the Canadian Association of Photographic Art (CAPA) and the Photographic Society of America (PSA). As my vocation in nursing/research involved computers and data analysis, I felt right at home when the digital revolution in photography came along and eventually I sold my Canon SLR cameras and went 100% digital. Currently, I own 4 Canon digital cameras and find my interests leaning towards fine art printing and digital imaging. I was fortunate to be able to take early retirement 11 years ago and since then I have enjoyed working with the many images I bring back from my travels with my husband. Over the years I have acted as editor of a monthly newsletter at two camera clubs and as webmaster. I developed and until recently, chaired & administered the digital imaging circuit for CAPA. I am also a charter member of the PSA digital imaging study groups and administered one of the first study groups. Up until recently I was a member of the PSA Canadian Print Portfolio and am currently a member of Crossroads Camera Club in Edmonton, AB.
