For me the value of concentrating on portraiture in natural light is that it is making me create and not just take the image. It has really forced me to think about lighting and backgrounds. I notice details that one month ago would not have even registered with me.

Our club definition is that the portrait produces an image that captures the personality of a person by using effective lighting, backgrounds, and poses.
In this case, I used natural lighting, a relaxed pose, and the lighting caused the background to appear black.
Many portraits are taken to have a memory of uncle Harry. The challenge is to capture the essence of uncle Harry and not just take a snapshot of someone smiling. |

What a touching scene. I like the way you have put focus on the young foul and darkened the wall to create separation between the animals and background.
Is that the tail between the horses two back legs? Somehow the back camera right leg seemed off size to me. |

Thanks for your comments.
I bought Lumenzia and the training tutorial and am working through the manual with tutorials. Hopefully by next month, I will have a better understanding of luminosity and how to create dimension on the face.

The monochrome does lose the contrast between the blue of the river and the sea. |

I did a selection and adjusted the hue on the wall to darken it and create a tonal separation with the face.
I created two BW adjustment layers, one for the face and arm and the other for the rest of the image. For the face, I used the green filter in the BW layer. I did not add a radial filter n LR. To create dimension on the face, I painted shadow on the camera right area.
In this version, I achieved better tonal separation between the wall and the face. However, I am still having problems getting proper tones in the face.
I am having difficulty determining whether to use the green or red filter on the face and how much to adjust the red and yellow slider to the left. Is the face still too bright? |

For me this image totally changes in BW. The BW version emphasizes the fog rising from the water and I interpret this as early morning, warm water, cold air, and radiation/convection fog. The white glare on the water between the birds is a little distracting and could be fixed, but for me in monochrome, it is a peaceful image.
In color, the bright highlights and yellow attract my attention and feel overpowered. I miss seeing the total scene. The mood of the image totally changes.
I prefer the calmness of the monochrome. This is the sailor in me speaking. |

This is an interesting image. I found myself wanting to simplify the image to emphasize the boats and reduce the number of interest boats. However, when I tried a different crop (16 x 9), it totally changed the story of the boats on a sand bar.
What is the story?

The monochrome really focuses attention on the contrast between the bird and the shape and design of the feathers and I like your cropping.
Is it possible to increase the detail on the bottom part of the bird's body?
