14 Sep 22 Comment Hi Xiao,
Greetings.
Thank you for sharing this edition of September. I loved the way you have handled the post processing, specially how you brought the details on the scene. The light work while post processing is brilliant. The subject seems in the book for real. Looks more like a candid shot, only which was a staged image.
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers.
Kamal.

14 Sep 22 Comment Hi Tom,
Greetings my friend.
While considering for floral photography, I find it is better to keep the flowers in their original colors and tones; as far as possible to present them as natural as reasonable.

If the images already lack in sufficient areas to post process then, you may consider converting them in to art form using oil paint or any other filters from photo shops. In this case I take the liberty to process and convert part of your image in to an oil paint.
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers.
Kamal.

14 Sep 22 Comment Hi Greg,
Greetings my friend.
Apologies for delayed comment on this edition. I loved this image of serene cruising through Alaska, from your cruising experience. To me I see this wonderful image a bit flat for exposures while post processing.

With this image (In CS6) I have played a bit with the - Adjustments (Levels & Curves) and this is the outcome. I wanted to bring out the colors and sharpening the depth of field for this image. This is just my personal preference. Hope you like it.

Thanks for sharing dear friend.
Cheers.
Kamal.

Greetings my friend.
What an interesting Alley, appropriately named as Art Alley. This is a difficult composition and you have handled it very well. Loved the way you have managed the colors and lights to bring the details of the environment. The sharp image with well managed composition, really made this a special one. Thank you for sharing.
Cheers.

Greetings my friend.
Apologies for delay comment due to unavoidable circumstances.
You have really captured the essence of the sunset with the boats at rest. This calm scene with least objects, reminds me of minimalist effect in any given frame.
I loved the way you have used the boats and their sail frames to break the horizon and made an impact on this image. The light and colors were complementing each other.
Thank you for sharing.
Cheers.
Kamal.

I hope things are great with you.
Thank you for your kind appreciation. I have cleared the waters from all those tiny black dots as suggested. Take a look at the version 2 in the discussion attachments.
Stay safe and stay blessed as always.

Greetings my friend.
Apologies for delay response due to unintentional medical issue. Now I am fine and leaving my thought on your comment. I appreciate your suggestions and comment on this edition. I have removed the dirt spots as Tom suggested and left that boat with trails, as you suggested. I also toned down the background to see if it's okay in this setting. Thank you for your constructive and inspiring suggestions.
Stay safe and stay blessed as always.
Cheers.

Thank you for your comment and suggestions. Those dark or black dots are really fishing boats scattered on the water surface. I was not sure what to do with them? Whether to remove them or keeping them. Finally thought of keeping them.
Cheers.
