I am also very interested in learning to use luminosity masking. I think I will be going with TK panels and anytime you guys use luminosity masking in your photos please point it out so we can talk about it.
Thanks!! |

Hi Frans, If this were the first photo in a magazine article I would definitely dive in to learn more. You did a nice job of keeping the details in the dark exterior of the temple and not blowing out the alcoves. I really want to look inside and see the displays and understand the story behind each one. When I do zoom in the focus in the alcoves is a bit soft but I only notice because overall the photo really drew me in. Nice Job! |

Nice motion of water flowing over rocks. I think you could emphasize this idea even more by cropping in even closer. I also agree that brightening the rock in the foreground may add interest. I shifted the color balance in the right upper corner towards yellow and in the left lower corner towards blue and then brushed in highlights and shadows to really try and bring out the feeling of motion.
I recently watched 2 good tutorials by Dave Morrow called "Photo editing rivers and streams" and you may want to try some of his techniques next time you are creating this sort of photo--I'm looking for an opportunity to do this as well. |

Fantastic middle ground cliffs framing the distant bluffs. The main subject appears to be the nice light on the distant bluffs. I felt that a sharper focus on the distant features would help draw the eye into the photo and I tried to create a little more definition in the middle. There are multiple leading lines which all converge on the distant bluffs. I tried to emphasize these lines with light. Also I agree with Lamar that lightening up the bushes in the center and foreground is helpful. Finally, I felt the entire photo lacked punch I dramatized a bit. I know this style might not be for everyone and boarders on a supernatural look but I think it gives something to think about. |

The main idea I get from this image is of symmetry created by the reflection. I noticed the shoreline is not exactly in the center and when I cropped the image a little and put the shoreline right in the middle . I've heard people say not to do this but in this case I like it. I also punched up the light and contrast a bit.
BTW a note to everyone, I really enjoyed importing your images into Lightroom and trying to work with the compositions and sliders. |

I immediately felt the sting of a cold winter day. I can just make out the diagonal path of the precipitation and imaging the birds are facing into the wind and waiting it out. The slight diagonal position of the walkway works well. I put the image in LR and played around with it but in the end I prefer the low contrast desaturated look you have presented--It really gives the idea of a foggy overcast day. The lack of background detail adds to this as well |

Great light at sunrise! My eye first goes to the bright center of the image and then backs out of the photo along the reeds and then examines the cloud reflection extending into the foreground. I get a feeling of quiet and tranquility in the perfectly calm water. I felt I was struggling a bit to see more of the middle ground and also noticed the reflection gets dark near the bottom of the frame. I removed some of the bottom of the photo and it feels lighter and I like seeing more of the middle. To answer your question, I do feel that even with the awesome reflection the foreground felt a bit vast and empty and perhaps the crop solves this. Overall a beautiful scene. |

Hi Lamar, Thanks for the web site recommendation, I have been reading the site and there is a lot to digest. During my exploration of night sky photography I have been pushing the iso higher and higher. I do wonder if I could be losing some color info in the stars which basically just turn white with the higher iso. I'll keep experimenting. |

Hi Pierre, The 25 second exposures where used only for the meteor streaks themselves. The pin point stars where are the result of the 10 sec exposures stacked in starry landscape stacker. Search for " How to make a meteor shower composite..." and this video gives a good step by step way to cut out and position the meteors in the sky. |
