4 May 17 Comment A very calm and restful image. One can sense the calming sounds of the water. I have a sense that there's more subject matter just to the right and down a bit. I hope you have more from this location. I tried some enhancements using a new Topaz Lab's product, Studio. This was a Basic adjustment. I did a slight crop and darkened the edges jus a slight amount. After having done all this I realized the that moss covered rock in the middle of the image has become the dominate center of interest and not the surrounding water. May 28th
4 May 17 Comment Erik and I keep in constant contact and I have heard a lot about this family of Cranes. While the overall exposure and sharpness have been well done, I do find the vignette somewhat of a distraction. I would prefer the edges be darkened to emphasize the chick and reduce the brightness of the grass in the image May 28th
4 May 17 Comment I agree with the others about the leaf. I would like to see the spider in a stronger compositional location. It needs just a bit of tweaking. I would also like some edge darkening to bring the viewers attention into the scene. May 28th
4 May 17 Comment I need to get some of those pills. LOL. The bright area does grab ones attention and it becomes the center of attention. I would like to see some added contrast and a bit darker to make the image pop. May 28th
4 May 17 Comment An interesting image. The composition and reflection have been well handled. The image does appear a bit muddy and the walker seems to be leaving the scene. The third arch from the left seems a bit brighter than the others and has drawn my eye to the bright area away from the walker. May 28th
4 May 17 Comment Joe, you have an incredible eye for these compositions. I do agree with others about the cropping. The colors, shapes and forms are amazing. May 28th

44 May 17 Comment The colors are wonderful. I agree with the others, to flip the image. I added a bit of brightness, Clarity, Vibrance and just a touch of Dehaze to make it pop. I also cropped off the dark area at the bottom which wasn't adding to the overall scene. May 28th
44 May 17 Comment My favorite spot in the USA. One cannot miss at Old Car City. I love the composition and all the colors go well together, great harmony. (When in doubt, use Mother Nature's colors). The Topaz filter works great with this image. Have you looked into the new Topaz set, Studio. As a Topaz user you can pick it up for $70.00 before the end of the month. It's a fun tool. I have played with the Beta version. May 28th
44 May 17 Comment For a busy scene this image works. The color balance has been well rendered. I may be inclined to tone down the circle frames at the top and add a bit of brightness to the foreground. I see the tools in the foreground and the main subject. May 28th
44 May 17 Comment A colorful image. The contrast of colors hold one's attention. The flat lighting works with this image. I see several compositions. Very nicely done. May 28th
44 May 17 Comment Excellent use of foreground material that becomes a focal point.Similar to a Meunch composition in Arizona Highways magazine. I'm not thrilled with the flat lighting. It needs a bit of pop. I agree with others about the jet contrails. They have to go. May 28th
