4 Aug 21 Reply I tried a slight lightening and some cropping on the right. Aug 25th
4 Aug 21 Comment One more thing Vella, try lighting up the single rock just slightly Aug 25th
4 Aug 21 Comment I'm amazed by the overall size and technology of these super ships. Your timing and weather conditions paid big rewards and your photographic skills did the rest.

I have gotten into the habit of trying the Auto Setting in Adobe Camera Raw Filters. I have found that the setting makes some subtle changes that I would think of. When I applied the Auto setting it knocked down the brightness on the bow which I found somewhat bright. I also added a slight vignette that I believe helped the finish product by adding some darkness to the sky.		 Aug 25th
4 Aug 21 Comment Excellent capture You've become the Birdman of Florida. Someday I hope you will submit a portfolio to PSA. You have the quality material. My only concern is the color of the beaks. I'm not familiar with the bird but the orange looks strange. Perhaps a slight adjustment to the luminance and or saturation. Aug 25th
4 Aug 21 Comment You have a pleasing composition and the slower shutter speed had rendered the moving water nicely. I would add a darkening vignette to draw the viewers attention to the center. I also hit the Auto setting in Adobe Camera Raw Filter and brought back the exposure setting and added the vignette. Aug 25th
4 Aug 21 Comment My first impression was that it was a frozen scene in winter. Quite an interesting technique. You might want to download the Nikon software to see if it renders the white balance differently then the other software tools. Aug 25th
4 Aug 21 Comment FANTASTIC SHOT!!! What can I say to perfection. It's tack sharp. It has good composition and expression on the participants face. Perfecto! Aug 25th
4 Aug 21 Comment I actually prefer the lighting on the original image. The lighting on the woman's back is much softer. The corrected image has her back blown out without detail. Aug 25th

4 Aug 21 Reply Issac, after seeing everyone's comments a attempted to correct the mysterious blue lights.

I tried to tone down the bright lights that everyone objected to.

When I looked closer I discovered that they were two stained glass windows. I made an area selection in Vivesa and warmed up the area to reduce the blue tone. I also selected the two stained glass windows and turned down the brightness.		 Aug 12th
4 Aug 21 Reply Guy, yes I was in the balcony. Everyone has noticed those two lights. They're small windows. I may try to clone out our tone down somehow. Aug 11th

44 Aug 21 Comment Nice composition and the use of the rocks in the foreground adds balance. I agree with Brad on the warmth of the image. I added a Warming Filter layer at about 70% which changes the entire scene. Aug 25th
44 Aug 21 Comment Good composition and use of existing conditions. I would be inclined to crop tightly and show the building and tractor only without the roof lines. I added some clarity to make the colors pop. Aug 25th
44 Aug 21 Comment It's always interesting to see others techniques and use of various software. This image has terrific clarity. This must be due to the spring climate without much atmospheric haze or forest fires. Although the water may appear natural, I would be inclined to tone it down slightly. Aug 25th
44 Aug 21 Comment Terrific capture and interesting technique. I hope you took lots of pictures there. Aug 25th
44 Aug 21 Comment Nice job. Very realistic. The only thing I might do is tone down that one bright spot on the upper right. Aug 25th
