14 May 20 Reply I appreciate your input and perspective - it's helpful. Thanks. May 29th
14 May 20 Reply Yep - under Detail, when using the Masking slide bar, hit ALT when moving the slide bar left or right until the more important outlines are visible. The white lines show what is being sharpened (I am sure there are others that could explain this much better than I) I find it helpful anyway. May 16th
14 May 20 Reply Thanks Angela - I was fortunate to get a fairly good shot out of the camera and was using a tripod. Focus stacking wasn't used. In processing, I use Lightroom CC and always sharpen the photograph with what is probably a pretty basic formula. The radius isn't moved beyond 2; the amount, radius and detail usually total around 100 and then tweaked as needed. I use the masking by hitting alt/masking to sharpen edges. Hope that helps.

14 May 20 Reply I was just making a comment about the quote that was put forth. My point was that, personally I don't believe the quote, as a blanket statement, to be true. That's really all there was to it.

I liked the photo well enough to submit. Whether others agree it's a good photo or not, there is always something I gain from the experience. There are amazing photographers taking a look on my behalf and I appreciate all the insight that is offered. I value your input to that end. Thanks -

14 May 20 Reply I'll remember that quote going forward. Sometimes perfection is boring though; sometimes imperfection can add interest. This forum is great for determining what works/what doesn't from a photographer's perspective. The input is helpful. Nice to hear from you Larry - Thanks. May 10th
14 May 20 Comment A pretty decent photo out of the camera. That said, there is good contrast to make a strong monochrome photo and I like the architecture. Your title tells the story and supports the woman's expression and her situation. My only suggestion would be to have cropped it tighter - perhaps moving in to her side of the historical marker. Otherwise a strong photo. May 7th

14 May 20 Comment Gregory - What a cutie - who could resist those eyes! And those paws show just how massive he will become. I like your framing, what you did in processing and you have sharpness right where it needs to be. You're doing a good job meeting your goal too! May 7th
14 May 20 Comment Xiao - There is a nice quality to this image. There is no place for your eye to go except for the model . . . the background is there and supports the main focal point but is generally straightforward. Lovely. May 7th
14 May 20 Comment Syed - Good on you for always having your camera with you! You continue to show some interesting hand-held grab shots. I have no suggestions on other cropping options. I wish there was a bit more contrast but given what you started with, you've done well with the processing. May 7th
14 May 20 Reply Thanks for the input - all good suggestions. I never think about adding a border to help enhance a photograph. May 4th
