Playing with Mosiac software

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Playing with Mosiac software

Found this software on my computer and thought I should have a play with it.

How does this look as a first go? Can't say I am a really big fan of this sort of thing, but it makes for a bit of time wasting fun.

I didn't give it much to work with, just other photos of Max. Perhaps a greater range of colours would have given a better example.

Original for comparison

It's interesting, to say something. I reckon it would look best blown up to a huge size and hung on a wall. The PC monitor just doesn't do it justice,

That said, i think the original as a sensational image. I'm not normally a fan of cat photos, but that one is really something special. The close crop and the green eyes makes a fascinating image. I think it's terrific.

Thanks Steve. You are correct re it not showing its best on the monitor.

As for the image of Max, it is a fav of mine. He's not as quick to move now as he used to be, so images like this, especially while the sun is out, are easy to capture. I just converted to black and white, and then brushed the colours back in, but he is a silver and black cat anyway, so there wasn't much colour loss.

Thanks for commenting.

Found the website http://www.phobosoft.ch/

The version I used was 1.2 didn't look to see if there is a more recent version.

Thanks
