4 Apr 22 Comment Looks like a fun event with a lot of strange looking characters. You did a good job of capturing the person against his van. I might suggest some selective darkening of some bright areas. Apr 22nd
4 Apr 22 Comment Always glad to help with images. Actually, this was the first time I used the Red Eye repair in Photoshop. I did not realize it had such flexibility. Apr 22nd

4 Apr 22 Comment I like the view from the altar area showing the interior detail. I'm a firm believer in keeping detail in the shadow area. You have lost that in your interpretation. I took the liberty of working on your image and retained good shadow detail. I also used the masking feature in Camera Raw and controlled the lighting in the bright area of the ceiling. Apr 22nd
4 Apr 22 Comment Your image caused be to take a second look at the scene. The strong shadows have created an unusual pattern. I believe the background adds texture to the scene. I would straighten the candles to satisfy my OCD. Apr 22nd
4 Apr 22 Comment An interesting scene. From looking at people's reaction it seems only a few people are interested in the airplane. There's a lot of activity including the plane. Everything is sharp and well exposed. Personally, I would be tempted to work on or replace the sky. Apr 22nd
4 Apr 22 Comment From what little I know about Bocci it can be a very boisterous competition. I'm not sure the figure in the right adds to the scene since he's out of focus. While there's a lot of activity in this scene the primary individual is the person in the Bocci court. My primary objection is that the white's is the scene are blown out. Apr 22nd

44 Apr 22 Reply This was shot in late April and I was happy to get some white Dogwood trees. The young leaves of the other trees have a certain lighter feeling which I also was happy with. I guess in this case that area could have been darkened to reduce the brightness. I have another view further to the right which has mor of the white Dogwood trees. Apr 22nd
44 Apr 22 Comment Very good composition. The image is sharp and well exposed. I too felt that the mill needed some added pop. If you haven't tried the new masking feature in Photoshop, it's incredible. I clicked on select subject and it selected the mill. I increased Clarity, Dehaze and Saturation. Two other things I do with my images is try the "Auto" feature in Camera Raw. I have found that 99% of the time it makes some good adjustments. My final add was a slight edge vignette to darken the edges slightly. Apr 22nd
44 Apr 22 Comment I would say you did a good job finding the postcard tripod holes and your general processing appears natural. The person was a good idea as it gives a sense of scale. The puddle in the foreground is a bit of a distraction however the one thing that caught my eye is the horizon line appears off kilter. Apr 22nd
44 Apr 22 Comment The infamous Forest Gump setting. Considering the general conditions, I think everything works well. Your post work worked well. Apr 22nd
