I don't think Zizounai is picking on you, more the opposite.
She's trying to help an image she likes to get better by offering valid input. Don't be offended by it but learn from it.

Heyyyy Staaan, Staaan, Staaan,have you considered having more contests, perhaps one every few days, and having a "prize contest" on occasion??? Retired, we have to say his name 3 times for Staaan to appear 😉

Congrats Luna, see, I told you !!! 😁

Hey Staaan, have you considered having more contests, perhaps one every few days, and having a "prize contest" on occasion.

Thank you Author, you make me feel very proud. Just a little thing: about the canoe's reflection, you shouldn't see the seats... Sorry sorry sorry, I didn't want to annoy you, I just picked your chop because I liked it, thought it could be a winner. Watching it bigger I noticed several things that could have been better. I didn't send messages to the other entries because I am lazy... there would be things to say about some of them though... I am not only lazy but also shy and I had to gather all my courage to write what I wrote 😉

Your composition is very good looking. I think there are some little things to look after though. You have left cutting traces L of the plane. There is a stain L of the fence. The boat makes a shadow but no reflection and you forgot the armchair reflection. The cabin looks a bit blurred compared to the rest (large tree, staircase, fence... ) which is very sharp. Sorry to tell you all that because I do love the composition, but you still have time to make it better. Ahem... and maybe the American flag is not necessary but then this is only me 😉

Yes, I discovered that you could save a psd file directly into jpg with the "save as a copy" option, which I never used before!

Thanks to my guardian angel 😊

Oh you mysterious mad hatter, I'm afraid I won't be able to enter a .psd file in this contest. So, you must hold a secret trick in your top hat...

I have a problem when flattening my picture, the bevel and emboss layer style flattens as well and my chop loses all its depth effect. Is there a cure to this issue? (Using PS 2022, windows 10 pro)

I remember you very well Daenerys, you were on Pxleyes as well 😘

I have left PSC about one year ago. Too macho minded for me, I had enough. I keep an eye on the Tuesday contests though. I don't remember any Daniela there, was it your name on PSC?

I love this one very much. I would have liked to see the previous one to compare for good, but I think it is very undervoted 🤨
