Hi Lauren, Wow, what a photogenic tree! There are always many ways to accomplish a change in post processing. I use a pre-cloud version of Photoshop mostly in analogous fashion to what I did in the darkroom. Some friends are more facile and use artificial intelligence software/apps to make changes. They all can work. The point is that as long as the resulting change is well done and difficult to detect, the effort was successful. In the resolution used for these dialogues, your effort was quite successful. It's an excellent portrait of a specimen tree in its fall glory.

I like to provide some feeling of depth (3-D) to images. This can be done with color, luminosity and focus/blur. In this case the increasing background blur assists the depth feeling and the flower's color separates it from the background.
The frosted leaf image from the same shoot is a more extreme example. The background was heavily darkened and partly desaturated. All the leaves in the image were about the same dull, brown tone in the original. I added red & yellow saturation to the big leaf. Warm colors seem to appear closer to you. When projected on a large screen, the leaf seems to float above the background.

Hi Sandra, Great composition! My only suggestion would be to clone out the item on the wall at bottom to the right of the palm trunk. I thought about architectural photography and making vertical lines truly vertical but I really liked the curved lines leaning inward as a better frame for the trees. I think the crop is perfect. It emphasizes the vertical lines of the trees growing up to the sun in a manmade brick and mortar environment. Karl |

Hi Valerie, I love this type of image. Each is unique. As you explain, there can be meaning in this nominally abstract image. The horizontal lines can represent steps in life and the vertical markings can be significant events and accomplishments. It's a nice analogy. A great way to entertain one's self during a journey. Well done. Karl |

Hi May, I find that when I make images for myself, I insert features, sometime small, that a viewer may not understand. That's the situation for me in looking at 'Wonderland'. I see a pretty girl overlayed with red (and white?) marking. The reason for these markings isn't reaching me. I'm longing to see this model with real human expression, not overlayed with crayon. While I have seen similar efforts for sale in the fine art world, I always wonder if and why someone would buy them. Sometimes our personal efforts work only for us. Karl Leck |

Hi Judy, Gingko leaves are unique. This image goes a step farther by overlaying the shapes. The consistently sharp texture with good shadow detail make a technically superb image. I like it! Karl |
