Emil, the sky replacement adds a lot of impact to an already provocative image. The conversion to BW was done mindful of bringing out the details of the bricks of the castle. There is so much to like and appreciate in great IR image. |

Pali, I like the scene, the path converging with the bridge and the water and snow complete it. The path is a strong element, but if the white center line was removed, would it be in better balance? Removing the support wires added to the naturalness of the scene. Using a wide angle lens at f/22 should have given you great depth of field, however some of the foliage at left side seems less sharp? |

Gary, it is amazing what can be done with filters and plugins. This image has been transformed into something much more interesting. The sun burst is well-placed, but seems unnatural. The texturized sky also seems unnatural, but if you are going for a version of the painterly effect, it works. |

Goodness Melanie you had to skillfully labor to remove those other cars, but it was essential to define this car as your subject. I like the attention you have drawn to the grunge and dirt. This is not just an old car, it is a decaying relic from the industrial 1950s. I must find and visit this interesting car graveyard. |

Arik, such a sublime image, elegant and understated. I like the cool soft blue noticeable in the petals of the flower. The cropping accomplished putting the flower in foreground allowing the background to fade softly away. |

Jack, you indeed did capture a minimalist image. Removing the building reinforced this perspective. Perhaps it may be too minimalist, but why not also eliminate the hazy thin cloud and the dark earth or rocks on the right side of the image to draw even more attention to the shed? |

Emil, Arik, & Jack, thank you for suggesting lightening the foreground area. Indeed, a lot of interesting detail is lost there and if the pond pops more Ansel will be smiling. |

There is no question that great landscape photos are much easier to capture in great places like Iceland, Jasper, Banff, Zion, Bryce, Glacier, or Denali. Even if you get unlucky with conditions, these places have soul and are worth visiting with or without a camera. I've been to these locations, some more than once. If you need a bit of first-hand info, I'd be glad to provide it. |

I like the changes. I hope you do too. Good choice for the sky, it is a pleasant summer sky, but not the subject of the photo. I think the crane-like art piece appears more powerful when it is contrasted with just one silhouetted person. So, again, are you happy with these tweaks? |

Hi Sanat,
For me, the subjects of this marvelous photo are the mountains and the clouds. The buildings and people in the foreground are merely context, so to emphasize the primary subject, if you agree, I urge you to do things like desaturating the red in that one house, remove the small tower (lower, left) and possibly remove some of the people on the flat roof. What you did to bring out the color of the sky and fluffiness of the clouds is splendid. |

John, indeed, you did capture the flow of lines in the trees and grasses. Doing this converted a travel photo into a work of art. I like the placement of the crane-type object. Although some prefer opening up shadows areas, I am with your choice here. My two cents for possible improvements are to crop a bit tighter at the bottom, remove the woman in white, and consider replacing the sky. But it is your work, your call. |

Louis, I like the story this image conveys. Waiting for a sunset when the tide was low created the contrast you sought between what is natural and man's unnatural intrusion. I like the leading line of water left by the retreating tide. Would opening up the shadows to reveal the construction area make the point of your story more clear? |

Rich, amazing post processing work. You transformed an ordinary photograph of a pier into something quite extraordinary. I like the sky replacement, and the rich colors. What does the image look like without haze? Is it still fanciful? |

Quang, this image has impact. The light painting provides positive emotional counterpoint to this somber, depressing chamber. The detail and texture you captured adds to the story so graphically. Thank you for the work you put into creating and skillfully processing this incredible image. |

John, I really like what you did. Somehow, flipping the horizontal gives the image better balance. Thank you! |
