66 Jan 24 Comment Henry, magnificient use of a frame. Masterful conversion to color. I like the options the frame affords. The original image is quite fine; however, I can see why allowing more color external to the frame by desaturating it is an alternative for an artist to consider. Jan 9th
66 Jan 24 Comment Emil, love the image. Some questions came to mind as I read your workflow. You said you used the hue/saturation adjustment to render a B&W image. What's the avantage of doing it this way? You also used the detail extractor in LR, is this different than using the clarity slider or texture slider in PS? Finally, (sorry for being so darn curious), what causes halos in IR images? Can they be avoided? Jan 9th
66 Jan 24 Comment Palli, I like this image slightly more than the last one. You honor the artist by your masterful rendering of their work. Jan 9th
66 Jan 24 Comment Gary, I see what you were seeing in your mind; very bold, very dramatic. The vignette does seem a tad heavy; alternatively, it may have appeareded less so if the original image had more of the base of the tree? Jan 9th
66 Jan 24 Comment Jack, yes, you and your leading lines. Like it a lot. The afternoon sun indeed did enhance tonality. My monitor may be set too bright, but is seems that some of the highlights in the trees are a bit too hot? Jan 9th
66 Jan 24 Comment Arik, as the others have commented, I like the way you used the tree to frame in the subject and to bring it out even more by punching up the highlights in the middle of the image. Adding the dogs was masterful. This image fetches emotions of stability and tranquility. Wonderful Jan 9th
66 Jan 24 Comment Melanie, there's not much for me to add. For an uncomplicated subject, there are a lot of options as our discussion buddies have elaborated. My 2 Canadian penny suggestion is to use the dodge tool to bring out some highlights here & there to give the image a bit more depth (e.g., just the top of grass in the foreground). Jan 9th

88 Jan 24 Reply Trey, subtle changes can make big differences. Along with Brian's suggestions, I reworked the master file to brighten the waterfall. The effect is terrific. Thank you! Jan 23rd
88 Jan 24 Reply This is an excellent suggestion. Really like the effect! So, I went to the master file and made the changes. Thank you Brian. Jan 23rd
88 Jan 24 Comment No question Trey, you are an artist. I like what you did and especially what you did not do. Leaving the sky gray sets up a lovely color contrast with the Fall trees. Rendering the trees warmer, brighter, and slightly more saturated enriched the color. I like the touches of raised highlights in the shaded area before the trees. Splendid work! Jan 9th
88 Jan 24 Comment Mark, perfect placement of the plane that is moving through the image. To make the plane more so the subject of this image, consider using the selection tool in PS to abstract it, then brighten it. Desatuating the trees a half notch might help too. Jan 9th
88 Jan 24 Comment Brian, this image has power, power unleased by your treatment of the sky and clouds. It is a matter of opinion, but my eye wants some of the blue retained in the sky and a little less detail and micro-contrast in the clouds. Good use of the lens adjustment for the shacks. This is a competition quality image! Jan 9th
