34 Jul 24 Comment I agree that darkening the background would improve the definition. Also, the light on the grass seems to come from the right, while the birds seem to have shadows falling on the right. Jul 28th
34 Jul 24 Comment I would soften the vignette. Otherwise this is classic abstract. It also hits all the right buttons for good commercial art. Jul 28th
34 Jul 24 Comment A well crafted expression. I don't think it needs any changes. Jul 28th
34 Jul 24 Comment I love every part of this. Your choice of sepia perfectly accents the natural feeling. If I changed anything it would be to angle the light rays slightly downward, and extend them further into the negative space. Jul 2nd
34 Jul 24 Comment The lines do seem a bit faded, but until I read your description, I didn't notice. In fact, in terms of lighting and perspective, they are the most natural looking element. The ride seems out of place for two reasons. One is the lighting. With the sun behind it, and the full silhouettes of the background, the well lit ride seems unnatural. The second, less obvious problem is perspective. The ride was shot from below looking up, while everything else seems to be shot toward the horizon. Rather than fix these less obvious issues by making everything silhouette (and losing the playful colors), you could add more distraction such as making one of the swans unnaturally large, or make the knots in bright colors to match the ride. Jul 2nd

68 Jul 24 Reply This explains the sky. Jul 28th
68 Jul 24 Comment Nice ttw. I love the color. Jul 28th
68 Jul 24 Comment The blur looks slightly unnatural, but it works quite well anyway. I agree the helmet angle makes it look strange. A shot from over the shoulder looking forward would give a more natural look to the bike and eider, but the blur might look even more unnatural. Jul 28th
68 Jul 24 Comment Very good. The detail is there. I would try darkening the blacks, before boosting general contrast, to keep more of the original detail and color. Jul 28th
68 Jul 24 Comment Excellent composition and depth. The post enhancements are beautiful, but there is a slight 'cardboard' effect. Possibly a bit less sharpening would soften it. Jul 28th
68 Jul 24 Comment Well done! I would suggest a circular crop, to reduce the distortion and confusion. Jul 2nd
68 Jul 24 Comment This image is well shot, but confusing to look at. The parallax seems to converge naturally until the horizon, then a second 3D window appears. Did you replace the sky? If so, maybe pull it forward a bit so it matches the scene. Jul 2nd
