I was just looking at your image again. I think I prefer it with the sky, but in looking at the sky, I noticed there is what appears to be a vapor trail in the upper left. I would remove that. Another option would be to remove the amount of sky.

When processing the image I thought it would be better as a horizontal image. But, after reading your suggestion as well as Bill's, I do like the vertical crop better. Thank you for your thoughts. |

You definitely caught the lighting well. The morning light bouncing off the buildings is beautiful! I am torn about the pilings in the photo. I like the leading lines that the pilings create and I understand the light had not yet hit them, but because of the light, they don't seem to quite fit with the "golden city". Also, I would suggest you crop off about 1/4 or less from the right. I don't think that space adds to your story. |

Because of the camera position relative to the road, as viewing this I feel that you are looking back... that you have just traveled through the winding road and know what is around the far bend. I like that thought. Since you said that you were visiting your "home", I think the story fits. The sky replacement was well chosen as was the crop. I also like the rest of your processing with one exception. I would like to see a little more brightening done as we approach the last two curves; nothing extraordinary, just a little more light to help us follow the road.

Your close up subject works well. The soft lighting allows us to enjoy the details. My eye is drawn to the fluffy frayed tufts because of the good lighting. I'm not clear as to what you mean about the mask you used? Could you expand on that? Did the mask result in the main part being bw and the edges being in color? I would prefer the entire image to be in bw. |

You have a very pleasing composition here. I do wish you had a little more on the left such that the stem is not cut off. If you do not have more on the original you could possibly add a little more canvas using content aware or similar. I am interested in your technique to change the white to black. The light shining through the reds and greens is beautiful. |

First, thank you for the detailed description of how you took and processed this shot. I would like to suggest that you crop out about the top 1/4 of the image. I think it would improve the composition. I especially like that you started with the puffin still in the water and the different positions of the wings. Even with your fast shutter speed, I would have liked to have seen more detail in the birds. |

This is definitely an attention grabbing image. Your use of the flash was spot on. If you have a little more at the bottom so that you could include all his fingers, that would be helpful. Even without, it's an exception photo. |

Thank you Jon. As you can see from the original there was a beautiful sky to work with. As far as broken down things, I can truly relate! Maybe that's why I took this image?
