What an interesting subject for this contest...and wonderful job w/ the notes you included w/ your piece.

Now I am assuming your photo was the Piper as you said you used a new background, yes? Well your background is just perfect for your subject...especially considering your title and notes. Focus on your Piper is beautiful....CRISP CRISP CRISP...every detail of both he and his bagpipes are perfect. The colors are lovely...and natural and exposure is spot on.

The vertical presentation is excellent...and again, your background and your subject go so well together w/ Piper placed in just the right spot. Even where his feet sit on the ground looks natural. It's such a well put together piece. I like it and wish you the best w/ it in the contest.

Deborah

This is a great background to emphasize "the only one". I like how you chose a bagpiper as your subject. The scene has a high definition appearance that is very attractive and gives the colors a crisp brightness and clarity.

What a perfect title and entry for this "Only One" Contest.
High on a Hill this Dapper Lonely Piper plays his Bagpipes for the mountains.
Love the background complete with misty like fog rough rock cliffs.
Your focus, white balance and details are Superb here.
The expert skills of your layering and oil paint filter really make this a beautiful view of the Lone Piper.
Fine work...best of luck;)

And what an only one you have posted here for your competition entry! Your classical composition of the piper on your background works very well indeed! Sharpness and exposure are good. Well done and good luck!

a stunning entry to this competition only one, a very apt title the lonely piper, pin sharp focus and clarity on the piper as he plays sleep dearie sleep, I like that you placed the lone piper as if in the highlands with the fog rolling over the hills,
natural and beautiful back drop, oil paintering filter works well here. a very imaginative piece well executed and presented. good luck in the contest. a winner in my books.

Comment from Melyuki


such an interesting photo. I'm impressed how you have created a new background as it makes the lonely piper really pop out of the picture in a most amazing way. The mist coming off the mountain behind his pipes creates a great backdrop to the pipes and the dark earthy colour of the rock face makes his kilt really stand out but also blends beautifully with the rocks. The touch of blue in the sky above adds another dimension to the scene. cleverly done and a pleasure to share. Best of luck in the contest. cheers mel

Nice composition and creativity, but it looks like the man does not belong to the background, I can see he was inserted into the background

thanks for sharing
