Your thoughts on composition and layout appreciated.

Thanks for visiting and taking time to comment. I appreciate your input. Best to you. Michael

Very nice work, Michael!

Beautiful! Hummers are one of my favorite subjects and you always capture them with such class and beauty. Can you tell me how you 'color drop" frames in photoshop.I see the background then you added pictures, but how do you get all the different colors in your frames--like the highlight on the left? I can't figure out what tool to select, to get two different color frames. I've tried using marquee tool to get first frame but when I try to do the next color it covers the first color. Help!

for your kind comments. I do value your input. Barbara, about the frames. Once you are ready to start framing, you should have a selection under your {effects tab} called foreground color. This is a frame that you can change color by switching your color palette or using the eye dropper to select a color from you image. Add this frame then, crop it to a smaller size. Then go back and do the same thing again...thus creating another frame and making the other appear to be a mat. You can use diffrent things in layer styles for example, bevels to drag on to the frame to get diffrent effects. Hope this helps. Michael

I know how hard it is to get just one decent capture of a hummingbird. This is truly outstanding. Super job, beautifully done. Also, thanks for the tutorial on how to frame!

Super work these are great image, I like how you have presented them.

A well thought out collage of some very good images. I like how you put this together. Nicely done!

Margaret, Richard and Ken, thanks for your input. I appreciate and value your comments.

Very nice and beautiful collage!

You are doing some great work. I appreciate your comment.

I do like these group shots... Great minds think alike!

very nice collage - beautiful shots !! I know how hard these little guys are to photograph - but they are truly addictive :) Thank you for your comment on my hummingbird - I really appreciate your inpute !

Thanks Dennis and Elaine K. Dennis, yes our ol' minds was thinking alike on this one. The title I choose to formulate the layout of an H x 5 images. The center right one being the bar finalizing the H. Thanks again to both for your comments. Michael

Hi Michael -

 

Thank you for the comment on my Last Glimpse of Autumn photo or "walking in the woods" as I like to call it.

 

This collage is spectular...taking photos of hummingbirds are my favourite...you have created something really special!

Thanks for you nice comment of this image. Your image was very pleasing to view and reminds me of the times spent in the midwest USA when I could really appreciate what you posted. It was that darn cold and snow that drove me away. Thanks again.
