Hi Kirsti. What a Creative mind you have. I do see that you were able to make a thumb tack into the moon with clouds and the horizon line texture on the bottom. Since you were adding layers perhaps the ocean image from last month or two would create more interest and texture in the bottom of the image.

Bill, just use Lightroom and only go to Ps when needed. Topaz is a plugin and pretty easy to use, just try different filters and when you like it, hit Accept, and it shows back up in Lightroom. Glad you liked it. |

Bill, I like the dust being created in the field. I wonder if you took the image wider than 270mm or you cropped this image. I had 2 thoughts, the building on the right is cut off and maybe that would add information to the image and where it was taken. I might of shot wider to include more of the rolling hills? back in the frame and that might also of shown some of the good vineyard. The image itself without "copy" to me shows a bulldozer or (tractor with tracks) creating dust. |

Karen, this is a beautiful image, composed and exposed and I like your idea of using the black velvet cloth background. I agree, that the focus would be better on the center flower and since you were on tripod switching to f32 would go a long way in gaining max depth of field. |

Stephan, here is the original unedited image. As you can see, not sharp so Creative Art makes it usable again. Won't work with people so you'll have to hike that mountain every couple of days and look for nature images, then you can take up paragliding and do aerial photos on the way down. Have a great day. |

Judy, I agree, the Red Remnants is lacking context in my mind, but after viewing your essay it does fit it with the other building remnants. Perhaps it wasn't possible to show the other artifacts in the background? The dirty snow/ice doesn't add like it should. The colorful rock or? to the left might be part of the story? It is difficult to judge the opportunities for images at a place like this. Must be why it is called deception island. |

Great idea Stephan. Beautiful colors and composition of the glider. I question of if reasonable to crop both the top (bring it down close to the horizon) and up from the bottom by ¾" or so. That part of the image is not adding anything necessary. My purpose was to make the female below larger as she is barely visible and separate from the orange thing. Also, since you were promoting Bora I would see if the huts/houses/guest homes could be saturated more via a filter or adjustment brush. |

Kirsti. I agree with much that has been stated. Cropping helps and removing car and rail necessary as they just don't seem to add anything. I wonder what the scene would look like of the other side of the harbor by taking image from the bow of the boat and since light would be behind you whether the fog would be present over the water and trees, but you know the territory. The building at the end of pier in your image is a non interesting part of the image. If the boat is the center of interest I would of tried to to capture it from another angle. BTW: Larry T. is very good with his comments. |

A beautiful village scene beyond the photogenic arch. I like everything you have done with this image. Simply amazing how our images have improved with better software. You solved issues from last month by finding an image that had people in the street and they enhance this image immensely. I wouldn't switch the clouds, I primarily use skies where there is no detail present. An excellent image rescue. |

A beautiful spot you found Israel. As you can see above, flips are a great tool and are used many times, especially in landscapes. I would suggest checking your histogram to see if the white water beneath the big rock can be pulled back from clipping and give you some detail in that water/foam. I agree if your wife were to stand on the shore, or rocks, on the right side of the bridge as I believe the bridge is too high to have someone stand on. Brings you eye up too far and more powerful to have that red coat on the right side of the frame. Fantastic find and great to get away as a couple in these times. |

Great idea Emil. I had exactly that "flip" idea shortly after looking at the image and by the time I got to the bottom of this post I see where you were a day ahead of me.
I have a competition with the subject is leading lines and flipping can be used over and over again to create it. Great seeing. |

Bunny, you've created a powerful image using the skulls and the kids. Yes, it needs some story or photo caption to relay to the viewer why these kids have the skulls behind them. The kids are well exposed and composed and unaware what has happened behind them. That's great, they will see the image published somewhere and will treasure it because the photographer made the image come to life. Sorry I can't comment on frequency separation. |

LuAnn, we all have our areas of interest and that is what makes this group special, and maybe you aren't in a league, so how about the head of the class. Sorry, dark photography would be boring for me, but capturing a lightning bolt or fireworks or a scene with moon those get me excited. I bet that you will do an excellent job with that and still life's because you take the time to figure it out and pay attention to the details. Go for it. |

Emil, what a great opportunity to capture this scene. Nicely exposed and love the sky, and lights reflecting on the river. What concerns me is that the Arch leads my eye out of the frame and that there is nothing of interest inside the Arch. Was it possible to move to your left and compose the arch with some city buildings I see where you were at the widest point of your 70-180, otherwise I was going to suggest maybe a wider lens |

Well LuAnn. I'm not remotely in your league considering this was done as you are starting to do still life. I can never compose items, background and lighting to make something realistic. You have accomplished that in my view. I probably would of composed the garlic pieces so that at least 1 was leading my eye into the frame, but then again that's why I leave composition up to nature and I just find them to photograph. I can appreciate all the work you put into this project. WELL DONE. |

Thank you Emil for your comments. I can accept those modifications, most of which I had done prior to submittal, but obviously not enough. |
