Larry - thanks for all of your help with this photo. I sent you a more detailed note by email and I plan to make use of the feedback from you, Barbara and Stephen to further processing of my Bryce Canyon expedition. I'm looking forward to the Nov round of postings! |

Lots to think about! Thanks, Larry. I'll look into these options. I'm still a Lightroom Lightweight! |

Michael - your frog has a Buddha-like persona. Perched as it is on the stub of the branch and situated calmly among the thorns, it has a metaphysical aura. I have no suggestions about improving the image. You captured the image well. Myself, I like the left-to-right upward trajectory of the frog on the branch. To me, its future-directed. |

Max - this looks more like an alien than an insect. The detail and coloring on the dead branch adds to the other-worldly look. Great shot. I'm sure the image benefited from your use of the flash. Thanks for the detail describing your work flow. For an editing novice, your process is instructive, especially your technique for reducing a 50 MB RAW file to a <1 MB jpeg for posting on the web. |

You really did capture a sweet little bird. It's a nice image with good detail and good coloring. My wife is the birder in the family and she keeps different bird feeders for the variety of birds in the northeast. She attracts them and I shoot them. From experience, I admire well-focused images without leaves and branches between the bird and the camera. Yours is a nice clear image. |

I really like this image. Compared to the original, you brightened it nicely but kept the mood of the evening sun breaking through the gloom of the storm. I've been to the Everglades NP on a rainy day, so I know that grey gloom. The photo is crisp and alive - great shot! |

Thanks for your feedback, Barbara and Stephen. I agree about the red and orange over-saturation. As you can see from the original, the haze from the nearby wildfire muted the scene. When viewing the scene, I was struck by the radiance of the white sediment layer standing out from the orange/red layers. I took many shots of that wall from different vantage points on the trail. Using the color sliders in LR, I tried to darken with red and orange layers in the hope of contrasting the white layer. Given that the LR color sliders are universal, I had to cope with the balance between hue and saturation in the FG and BG. In photos like these, I try to use the luminescence sliders to brighten colors. Ultimately, I wasn't able to make the white as radiate as I saw it and I will go back to lighten the oranges and reds. Perhaps I could have more localized control of color in PS, but I'm not there yet. Your feedback is helpful. |
