Hi Terry, The webinar was Artistic Floral Photography but this web page explains the process. I've used it a number of times now, and find this particular technique very useful. Let me know what you think.

Old cabins like this are great subjects! I love what you did with the colors. Removing the red ribbon was good too. Did you take any other images of this cabin? I am wondering what a capture of the front would look like. Or perhaps one that included a readable version of the sign.
What Terry suggested with the path is an interesting idea, although it might be easier just to push the real leaves away prior to taking the image. |

This image is as interesting upside down as it is right side up! Really nice job. I read a story into this. The bird in the back is the "nanny" bird and the two in the front are its playful charges! Nice job. |

Thanks for the tips on the settings. I hadn't planned to take this photo. I was set to do landscape when this momentary opportunity opened up. |

I love old temples. The forms of these towers are quite interesting. This image makes me want to travel! If only we could. I like the line created by the tops of the towers. Like Joan, I would prefer to see the shadows reduced on the towers on the left so that I could enjoy the details more. You are fortunate to have an interesting sky.
I just got a demo of Smart Contrast in Luminar. It does a great job of smoothing out the difference between highlight and shadow to make the lighting more even throughout. Do you have Luminar? |

Thank you for the tip. I hadn't even considered the light. It was a cloudy day and the sun was low on the horizon, which might be why the light isn't as troublesome as it could have been. |

Great idea Terry. Do you mean overlapping? |

Hi Terri, You did a great job making a dull image into something quite interesting. Nice job! Regarding the color saturation, I like it. To my eye, it doesn't look overly done. As to the sharpening, it is just a bit much for my taste. I know it is the trend these days.
You said you used Lightroom for sharpening. Did you try using the high-pass filter method of sharpening in Photoshop? (I just learned about it in a PSA webinar and I'm sold on it.) It only sharpens those areas that pass through the filter, and you can control the filter cutoff. |

Hi Joan, What a gorgeous image. I like your adjustments to bring out the color. We we all get those spots on the lenses once in awhile. I never would have know if you hadn't mentioned it.
I know you stopped because you found the young man in the photo. To my eye, he doesn't add anything because the sky and mountains are so amazing. You might consider experimenting with a crop that gives a sense of the expanse of the scene. One idea attached.

Wonderful image. Your processing made the image much more atmospheric. Cloning away the people was a good choice, as it gives me more of a feeling of solitude. I wouldn't change a thing. |

This is a great discussion that we may want to move to the discussion board. To me, fine art photography is about making an image in creative ways, textures included. |

Thanks for your suggestions Georgianne. Yes, it is a variation of shoot through.
I have plenty of images of that setup without the iridescent sheet. Perhaps I'll take one of those and try what you suggested. |

Hi Cecilia, I lke that you combined all three images together to make a story. Each one of the images could stand alone, especially the first one. You managed to process that one so that I clearly see a face. It has a more organic shape to my eye, than the others. Have you thought about making an image with just the first one? I really do think it could stand on its own.
Making smoke images is something I'd love to master. I'm curious to know what you used to make the smoke. I'd like to try this indoors to avoid too many air currents, but I think I'll have to disable my smoke detector first.
I can't wait to see what else you do with smoke images! |

Hi Connie, I think you hit another one out of the park with this image. The still water with the reflection, the newly blossoming tree, and the soft curve of the fence all add up to an image of tranquility. I like the details in the mill. Your color adujustmenst warmed up the image so that is is very pleasing to my eye.
The only thing I could suggest is to bring a sheep with you next time for the grass AND turn on the water wheel. Then you'd convince me it is a working mill from a bygone era. 😊|

Hi Georgianne, WOW! What a great image. I love it. You really did manage to given a depth of field to this image by the variety of treatments that you used. I especially like the crackled background with the etched leaves. The color scheme you chose is very pleasing.
You started with three very good images, but by combining them the way you did, the whole is much, much better than the parts.
I am inspried to try this sort of technique! |
