32 Nov 20 Reply A wonderful subject and capture. A dual conversion (one bird one for the rest) with an HSL layer under the bird conversion to tune the interpretation of the reds can yield a little more differential in the feathers that gets lost in a straight conversion due to the similarity in the actual tonality of the breast feathers once you take the color away.

44 Nov 20 Reply Hi Lisa,

Yes, I do remember "recover" all too well. I'm attaching the full frame before the crop on the sky.		 Nov 30th
44 Nov 20 Reply Bill, Spot on. Definitely stronger for me. Nov 12th
44 Nov 20 Comment A little straight on to the building, but it has a very nice feel to it with this composition. The blend looks natural. A couple of dust spots along the upper right edge and some grain / noise in the sky. The tops of the clouds have a look that suggests Aurora may not have given you the best ghosting result. I've run into to that myself when the edges of an object are a little soft to start with. Nov 11th
44 Nov 20 Comment Nice composition. The blend is smooth tonally but a little punchy in the greens. I would be inclined to pull at least some of the blue out of the cliff face. I could see a little in there because of the blue sky, but I think the landscape preset may have pushed the warm highlights / cool shadows a bit too hard. Nov 11th
44 Nov 20 Comment The composition is effective and the core technical elements are solid. The blend seems smooth and natural. Shade for a white balance is pushing a bit too much warmth into the water flow for me. I popped on a curve and set the white point off the bright spot just that the top of the main drop and found I liked that color rendition more. It also added a bit more punch to the contrast.

44 Nov 20 Comment The tonal values are very natural. I enjoy the old masters style of composition using the view through another door or window as a way to create a sense of depth in the image. Maybe trim about half of the area above the door off. It just seems too much as I view it. Nov 11th
