87 Jan 24 Reply Thanks for your comments and I will definitely play with the brightness of the moon! Jan 12th
87 Jan 24 Reply The added space at the bottom of the image is great - really helps. Jan 5th
87 Jan 24 Reply Cindy, I just realized that in your original image, the candle on the right is just fine - it is the vignette that has darkened it. Perhaps instead of vignette, careful linear gradients all around would work better. Jan 5th
87 Jan 24 Reply Cindy, you could try a very long and narrow radial gradient in Lightroom to brighten the candle on the right side. Jan 5th
87 Jan 24 Reply I like your crop of the sides, Lance, but I feel like the top is a bit crowded. Perhaps a linear gradient would help darken the distractions at the top while still keeping the space. Jan 5th
87 Jan 24 Reply Thanks, Dale. I appreciate your comments! Jan 5th
87 Jan 24 Comment I've never seen an advent wreath - what a lovely holiday tradition! I think your bokeh is excellent, and the whole image has a peaceful feel to it. The only thing I might suggest is trying to tone down the window a little, but it is lovely just as it is. Jan 3rd
87 Jan 24 Comment Winter birding sounds like a fun class! The crab really makes the image - so interesting to see a feeding behavior. Your sharpening appears very natural, and I like the way the crop includes the other gulls and the sandpipers. Jan 3rd
87 Jan 24 Comment The vividness of this image is very striking. It has an almost sci-fi feel to it that makes it interesting to a person (like me) who knows nothing about car engines. Thanks for sharing your process - I have Color Efex Pro along with Silver Efex, but have never used it. Another thing to add to my list of things to learn in 2024! Jan 3rd
87 Jan 24 Comment So amazing how perfectly focused she is, with all those flames around her! And she looks so serene. You captured a fabulous moment with great skill. Jan 3rd
87 Jan 24 Comment Hi Chan,

Your image is so sharp and shows the textures so well! I love how the basket is reflected in the vase next to it - it really enhances the 3-D effect. I agree that the all-black background and the use of B&W really enhance the image.

87 Jan 24 Comment Lance, I love the element of surprise in this image! Like Cindy, I didn't see the fuzzy little guy in the first nanosecond, and then it became clear. In a workshop I took last year, this was referred to as photographic haiku - the little surprise that makes a relatively simple image special. I love it! Jan 3rd
87 Jan 24 Reply Thank you Cindy! Jan 3rd
87 Jan 24 Reply Hi Lance,
I'm confused about your reference to shutter priority. I almost never use shutter priority - I am almost certain I used aperture priority for this image. However, you are absolutely correct about the use of bracketing. I really need to learn to quickly move to bracketing mode in situations that call for it, such as with low light. Thank you for the nudge! I am putting bracketing on my list of photographic techniques to study in 2024.
