Thank you, Bai. For some reason, I don't see what you're seeing. |

Hi, Robert. I was actually referring to the warmth of the overall image. Something like this revision although it might be a little over done now that I look at it again. |

Thank you, Phyllis. I believe the original image was brighter because the grasses were a dark green color, and the exposure meter misread the brightness of the overall scene, thus making the fawn too bright. The final image looks more like what I actually saw with the dappled light. |

Thank you, Robert. You may have heard the name, "liriope" but it just looks odd when spelled out.
It's pronounced li-rye'-oh-pee. |

Thanks, Charlie. I intentionally did not remove the grasses in front of the body because I wanted the fawn to look like it was partially hidden by the grasses. The grasses in front of the face was too distracting though, and those were removed. |

For some reason, I find this image rather troubling in the sense that, on one hand, the wall paintings and the old rusted windows are wonderful subjects, but, on the other hand, there is no single subject to focus my attention on. I can see a series of great images in this one shot. Trying to get them all in one photo doesn't seem to work. If you wanted to capture the whole scene, you might have lowered your viewing angle to eliminate most, if not all, of the sky and captured more of the lower wall that seems to have been cut in half. Maybe there was a reason for doing that (e.g., too many tourists?). |

Thank you, Cindy. An update: The mother doe did eventually come and pick up her fawn. Then, a few days later the fawn was back in the liriope. I guess she likes her bed-and-breakfast get-away. |

You captured an interesting panorama of an old village reflected in a river. It is such a timeless image. The image seems a bit overexposed though and could be improved if the highlights were toned down. Also, the color of the sky does not match the color of the sky reflection. |

This is a pleasant image of a rose. However, there is quite a bit of distractions in the background that, if eliminated or toned down, could help one focus on the rose details and improve the overall image. |

This is an interesting juxtaposition of a rabbit and a gargoyle statue as if they are staring down each other. The image is very pixelated and seems to have been cropped quite a bit from the original. Nicely captured! |

This is a beautiful twilight capture of a huge, old building. I like the contrast between the huge complex and smaller modern buildings below it. However, it might help to add a little more brightness to the lower buildings, and, maybe, reduce the warmth of the yellow lights. |

You have transformed a natural water lily photo to something of a painterly image. Adding clarity and contrast seems to have brought out a lot of details. The leaves nicely frame the white flower. And, keeping the flower offset to the left, creates a more interesting composition. You have created quite a unique image. |

Thank you, Maria. I don't usually shoot flowers in B&W, but had to try it for this assignment. I'm glad you like it. |

Thank you, Shirley. I probably should have added a stroke, too. |

Thank you, Ester. My wife also prefers my color flower images over the B&W ones. Actually, that "twig" is part of the same flower and are same thorny appendages as the ones above it. |

My Picture This app says it's a pincushion protea flower. You captured it beautifully with nice even lighting and the entire flower being in focus. The background is simple and doesn't fight with the flower. The only thing I might suggest is to add a little more room at the top and maybe crop the lower part where the stem is rather plain. |

I agree with Dick's comments about the Topaz filter. I used to own a Fujifilm digital camera, and when I sharpened an image in Lightroom, I got what many Fuji users call "worms" because of its X-trans sensor (instead of the usual Bayer sensor). These "worms" look very similar to the effect you achieved with the Topaz filter. Needless to say, I am not a fan of its look. But, if you like it, that's all that matters. It's all a matter of personal taste. |

Maria, you captured quite a unique orchid with its "tongue" hanging out. The orchid nicely fills the frame, and the diagonal stem makes the composition more dynamic. The exposure is a little bright with some of the white bulb blown out. However, the background can be easily darkened in Lightroom by selecting the subject, inverting the mask, and reducing the exposure and highlights. I would also suggest adding a little saturation and/or vibrance to the overall image. |

Thank you, Dick. I'm not sure what an Oasis is. Is it like a retort stand typically used in laboratories? |

I like your Original 2 composition more than the final, cropped version because it shows the blossoms in their natural context, and the blossoms are framed nicely by the green leaves. I liked that you brightened the image, but it could be improved by reducing the highlights in the white blossoms to avoid their being blown out and to bring out some details in them. A very nice, clean and simple image! |

Wow! This is a great shot of a sunflower. The yellow and red petals do look like the flower is ablaze. Choosing to shoot only a portion of the sunflower from the back was an ingenious decision and gives the image a very unique look. You certainly have a lot of patience to shoot 30 different images of a sunflower! |

This is a lovely image of a white carnation flower with magenta ruffles. You captured the details in the ruffles nicely. The dark and blurred background makes the flower jump out of the image. Very well done! |
