The shed in the front is interesting. To my eye, the scene is processed so much that it looks unreal. Perhaps that is your intention? The cloud shadow is so dark and so central that my eye is pulled to it. |

The mountains are beautiful. Nice detail in them. I do enjoy that you straightened the building on the left. For me, I would prefer to see more detail in the dark area on the right so I could get more a sense of the curving road. |

Nice image. I love the eye! I'd usually go with the guideline to have space for a moving object to move into, but in this case, I think Joan's suggestion to show the wake results in a good crop. |

Deer make wonderful subjects. The image, to me, isn't sharp. The iPhone is capable of very sharp images. Did you use digital zoom? |

Thanks for the feedback. It is interesting for me to hear that many people prefer the color version. I think I will submit it to my local club in a future Travel competition. However, I notice that most judges prefer to see people in travel photos. We'll see!
The monochrome image just won an award in my local camera club. |

Hi Joan,
If you look closely, you will see that the temple has lots of tourists walking up the front and into that main door. They are tiny. People aren't allowed to walk on the grass nor have boats in the water. I don't even recall seeing birds in the water! However, if I took 10 steps back I could have photographed 50 photographers all lining up the same shot. That might have been interesting! Next time! |

Hi Joan, I created a blank layer in Photoshop. Then cI opied the bottom of the image up past the trees to that layer. And copied just part of the sky. Then used the healing brush. If you look you can see the seam because I did it in a few minutes. You might be able to copy the sky out as a separate file, and then use Photoshop 2021 new sky replacement feature. That has a lot of parameters and might blend the seam better |

Hi Terry, Lovely lighting. I am enjoying the angle that the tulips enter the frame and the deep black background. The crop works fairly well. You might consider cropping off the partial bits on the left to emphasize the full leaf we see. To my eye, the image would work well with a bit less black. Here is a suggestion. |

Hi Joan, Lovely image. I like the way the blue in the sky complements the orange foliage. The perspective and symmetry is interesting to me. You monitor setting explain the lightness, although I thought perhaps you were going for a high-key look. For my eye, I'd like to see the blue closer to the trees. I did a little very fast "nip-and-tuck" edit to remove some of the sky. |

Hi Terry, Thanks for the comments. When I made the choice to render the image as monochrome, I knew that I'd lose the separation of trees from building. But I was going for more of an impression--a silhouette of sorts. I also made a version that was completely silhouetted but thought this emulated the old style better. |

Hi Stephen, Yes I did. Because my husband and I had our own private local guide (and Tuk Tuk) for several days, we went to all the major and many minor, temples in the area. We also went to a very rural area where we walked around a small village and then visited the grade school. The people there knew our guide, so they were very welcoming and allowed for photos. |

Thanks Isaac. My husband and I had a local photographer as a guide. We, too, hiked into the site in the dark, but on a side he said was a little less populated. He would not let me use my tripod, but showed me some techniques for getting a good shot without one. I was using a prosumer camera, not the fancier camera with interchangeable lens that I have today. Wonderful place! |
