Leonid, I like what you did with the crop and removing the log, etc.

I like what both Judy and Robert did to the rose, but personally prefer Judy's version with the greenery removed. |

Thanks Tom. Actually, just a 2-3 hr drive. I'm in Washington, this is along the Columbia River dividing Washington and Oregon, but on the Oregon side. (They get the best waterfalls )

Robert,
Excellent explanation. Thank you for sharing. My Nikon D500 is a DX and therefore crop frame camera. I just recently read an article on the difference between that and full frame, so for me a timely discussion. |

The blue flowers provide a lovely frame for the red rose. I do wish the rose had a little more detail in the petals. Perhaps pulling back the saturation just a little, might reveal some detail. |

Thank you Leonid. As for the Gobo, you are exactly right. It is the photographer's choice how to display his/her image. The comments we submit here are based on our individual experiences and preferences. They are meant as suggestions, and meant to describe our response to the individual works. They are also intended to be a learning experience for all members. There is no "right way" and no "wrong way". |

Leonid, first, thanks for including your original. It helps us to understand what you have done. I agree with some of Judy's comments: I like the light coming from upper right, but do not like the Gobo. It feels like an obstruction in this case. Can you explain further about the frame and 3D?? I'm afraid I don't quite understand. I have not tried this sort of process and find interesting and am envious of those who can!

Beautiful flowers and good choice of lens and settings to blur the background. I like Judy's crop, but in your version, I get a better sense of a slight curve of the stem which is very appealing to me. |

I think this would be an interesting venue to photograph. As we all know, photographing a moving subject takes practice. In this case a good start, but the subject still is not sharp enough for me. I would also suggest that you pull back on the vibrance/ saturation. It seems unnatural to me. I hope you get to attend and photograph another match. Looks like fun! |

The frogs seemed a little lost in the composition, so I tried cropping in. Once I did that, then I could see a sort of circular composition. The weeds both above and below the surface and the drain tube, seem to create that for me. I would remove a couple hilites on the tubing and a couple on the reeds. See what you think. |

Very well done! I love the background image with the golden light on the grasses. it provides us with a sense of location. You have placed the bird image nicely over the background. For me, the beveled edge is what makes this work. I can see this printed on canvas and hung without additional framing. I have no suggestions but think this is a very creative presentation.

Robert, I like your version better than mine. I was trying to draw the eye to the falls area by brightening that area alone. But in retrospect, it doesn't really need it and as you suggested, it looks artificial. I had wondered about whether to remove the log. Still not sure. It is in fact a beautiful place and was almost destroyed by fire (Eagle Creek Fire 2017). |
