78 Sep 25 Comment Thank you all for such supportive comments. I really appreciate them. Sep 17th

78 Sep 25 Comment Thank you Jean and Brenda for your suggestions. How about "Bud to Blossom"?
I will remove the orange smudges.
The stack for this was about 90 images. The reason I need more images than typical to make my stacks is that I use my lens wide open so as to blur the background as much as possible. For my work, I find that the usual dictum of using an aperture around 8-11 does not significantly increase the apparent sharpness of my images taken with the Canon 100 mm f/2.8 macro lens.		 Sep 5th
78 Sep 25 Comment I hope that incorporating the abovementioned ideas helps me understand the subject. I can't see two fish and their eyes. Sep 3rd
78 Sep 25 Comment It is an interesting sculpture and a very nice photo of it. It certainly benefits from the inclusion of your wife as she provides a size scale that shows just how huge the sculpture is. The dark clouds help overcome the problem of the featureless sky. I like the brightening of your wife. Because the image is pretty dark already, I'm not so enthusiastic about darking the stone ring. Sep 3rd
78 Sep 25 Comment I think it is very hard to pan one's camera appropriately unless you hold the camera fixed with respect to your body and you rotate your torso so as to always face directly toward your subject.
Race cars, motorcycles are often panned. I would think that running children might be a good subject.
An objective of panning can be to give a feeling of movement. In order for this to work, the trails of the objects that are not moving must be significantly elongated in the direction of motion. In your photograph, the shutter speed was so fast that the amount of smearing the the direction of the truck's movement (and your camera panning with the truck) was too short, and the background merely looks blurry.

78 Sep 25 Comment What an interesting subject and then an interesting transformation. Is there any way in PS to blur without smearing across the edge of a mask? Sep 3rd
78 Sep 25 Comment You went to a lot of work to make this nice image. Eventually, you may want to turn to Helicon Focus to assemble your focus stacks. This image has most of the flower in sharp focus and very few stacking artifacts. To me, the image feels more natural when rotated 90 degrees CW. I also found that I liked it a bit more if the flower's center was more saturated and the edges less saturated. Sep 3rd
78 Sep 25 Comment I like the basic scene and the composition. A danger in building composite images is building an image that contains internal contradictions or that is physically impossible. In this image, the sunset silhouette of the mountains is incompatible with the illumination of the stream, cliff, and waterfall. Sep 3rd
78 Sep 25 Reply Would the title "Maturation", have been sufficient to indicate to you that point of the photo was the interesting changes in the transition from bud to mature flower? Sep 3rd
