30 Mar 17 Reply Yes, lightening the shadows at the bottom and removing the car are good changes to make. Ideally, I would have liked not to have the bush on the left and the two bushes in the foreground. Even though you folks, and my wife as well, do not like the bush on the right, I still kind of do. Here is a cropped and lightened version. Mar 23rd
30 Mar 17 Reply I agree that the leaf detail in my version is too much and the the leaves in the original look better. Mar 22nd
30 Mar 17 Comment Without something on the right, my eye falls right out of the picture. Retaining the speed limit sign seems good. Here is a version that has been cropped a bit on all sides, but retains elements that, to me, balance the picture. I've also trued up the verticals, removed the tilt of the top support beam, lightened the upper curves and increased contrast a bit. I now agree that the shadows on the left support are beneficial. I find the light spot that Dorinda commented on to be helpful in breaking up what otherwise would be a large dead black area in my cropped version. Mar 7th
30 Mar 17 Comment It is great to see a flower from a new angle. I wish, however, that some part of this were in sharp focus. Mar 4th
30 Mar 17 Reply I modified the image in two steps. First, I adjusted the tone curve to utilize the full dynamic range available as your posted image had almost no pixels with luminosity below 20% or above 80%. I stretched the luminosity to go from 0 to 100%. After that, I increased local contrast by my preferred method, which is to use unsharp masking with a blurring radius of 50-100 pixels (instead of the usual 1-2) and applying this at about 30% to the image. Applied at 100% most images are too contrasty and look pretty ugly. Mar 4th
30 Mar 17 Comment Too much of a good thing. It is a bit unrealistic with so many "simultaneous" lightning flashes. I imagine an image with one or perhaps two of the lightning flashes would be really spectacular, particularly with the western landscape at the bottom, which I like pretty much as it is. Mar 4th
30 Mar 17 Comment There isn't enough going on here to hold my interest for very long. Mar 3rd
30 Mar 17 Comment It certainly is eye catching. But how is this possible? Has a supply hose been cloned out? I am interested in what this is and how it works. Mar 3rd
30 Mar 17 Comment Focus stacking surely worked well here. What is nice about this one is that the stacking is not obvious. It is a nice, natural image. I find it a little bland though. Here is a version that utilizes close to the full dynamic range available. Mar 3rd
30 Mar 17 Comment Wonderful curves. The signs on the right and the shadow on the concrete pillar on the left draw my eye away from the curves. Perhaps they can be cloned out? Mar 3rd
