30 Jul 21 Comment Lovely colors Lovely sunset The sun is too bright for me I decreased the exposure on sun with Aurora HDR layered it with original and masked to just get sun slightly less bright I cropped to put horizon at lower third instead of center and removed some light areas from darkness on right I also added stroke Jul 8th
30 Jul 21 Comment I agree a very creative idea well executed
I love rust and texture. This is a great old car well captured The colors are lovely. I like both the original crop and your last crop The eye you wound up with is compelling and beautiful Perhaps you could add a catchlight in the upper right and and lighten the iris on the lower left. But without the catchlight it is great and a catchlight might lessen the abstract quality		 Jul 8th
30 Jul 21 Comment I also love Zinnias and this is a lovely specimen The color is beautiful. The back center petals are nice and sharp I agree with the others that the front of the Zinnia is not sharp enough For me I prefer a blur in the back petals of a macro if not all is in focus I do not think the bud should stay I would crop in on the flower more as in attached image which removes a lot of the criticized areas
I also sharpened the center of flower more		 Jul 8th
30 Jul 21 Comment Nice capture of the vine on the Graffiti covered boards. I sharpened the leaves as advised by Dorinda, cropped more and cloned out the bottom leaf and blurred the boards Jul 8th
30 Jul 21 Comment I agree great expression I would remove the people in background as Stuart did I think you need to crop further up her leg as cropping at the ankle seems awkward If you have one including her feet and the wheels with some road perhaps you could combine them with this image if the others do not have as great a facial expression I think it needs to be straightened a bit I would like to see it with even more motion blur on the background Jul 8th
30 Jul 21 Comment I put Froggy's image into PictureAnimal app and he is a Pacific Tree Frog As Jon said the colors are great The closest eye is nice and sharp I would lighten it a bit more to show the catchlight I agree with flipping the image as Robert did According to a recent presenter at my camera club presenting images from left to right is preferred even in cultures that read right to left However I like your crop better I think the light leaf near his rear leg needs to be darkened As does the angled light line in the background on his right side ( in the original) Jul 8th
30 Jul 21 Reply Following Harold Davis who has videos on YouTube: Photographing Flowers For Transparency 1-5 He recommends highest aperture If you focus stack each exposure it would be tedious and is not needed since petals are flat Exposures are chosen to get from overblown to somewhat dark I had to experiment Jul 8th
