30 May 25 Comment I enjoy this image very much. I agree with Patrick that removing a little from the left would provide better visual balance. After reading Patrick's review, I imported the image into LR. There is a new update to LR (and probably ACR) that I used. I selected the mask (dotted circle) option, then "landscape" (new option), then "water". It accurately masked the water. I then adjusted the water color. Here is the result. May 10th
30 May 25 Comment What a great way to spend the day for all concerned! I like both, but tried a few things with the bw. First I took it into Topaz AI and sharpened the face. Next, in LR I used the filter resets and selected PB01 (portraits bw 1) to increase contrast. Finally also in LR presets, I used a strong background blur. While it is a strong blur, I think there is enough to make the playground environment identifiable. Very cute kid! May 8th
30 May 25 Comment I like this very much. Great job with focus and I think the lighting and reflection also work well. As an aside, I have to admit having spent time photographing a snail in my yard, too. May 8th
30 May 25 Comment I understand your intent was to have the viewer "see thru" the fence, but I do have to agree with the others. I like it better without. The leading lines and light breaking through the clouds work quite well I think. May 8th
30 May 25 Comment I wasn't familiar with the term "Dutch angle shot"... so learned something new. I do like the result in this image. I think Leonid's example with the background blur works quite well. Her knee is quite close to the edge, so I agree with the need to add a little canvas. May 8th
30 May 25 Comment Interesting image. I agree that the photographer adds scale and I think interest. Otherwise it would in my opinion just be a photo of another persons art. I agree it needs adjustments to the lighting and contrast. In LR I selected the artwork, and also a separate selection of the photographer. With these separate masks I made adjustments to exposure, contrast, etc. Then I used a radial mask to lighten the photographer and area leading to the artwork. I cropped some from both top and bottom. I don't think the bottom adds to the photo. The sky is bland, possibly you could replace it with another of yours? All just suggestions. May 8th
30 May 25 Reply Thank you for your suggestions Phu. I can add a little canvas on the right. Also I will fix the grass that you spotted. :-) May 8th
