Great image, and I like your second one with the blurred background more than the first |

Thanks Shirley. I have a set of prints for her from the whole photoshoot we did that day. They are in the glovebox of my car in the hope that I might come across her.
However, the word out on the street is that she has moved interstate with a member of the Nomads Motorcycle gang to avoid the police and certain jail time.
A rather tragic case. |

While you are in Youtube, lookup Anthony Morganti. He does excellent short tutorials on just about everything. |

The enhancement of the tree was done in Lightroom (Camera Raw in Photoshop).
I firstly increased the saturation of the whole image. That brought out some of the golden sun reflection on the lower edge of the wooden arch of the tree.
I can't remember the exact settings I used for the branch, but I used the adjustment brush. I tried painting in different settings for Contrast, Brightness and Dehaze. |

Hung you did well to catch this image of the lady. Street photography is always a challenge.
It is easy to speak in hindsight, but maybe if you had approached her, paid her a couple of Dong, asked her to retrace her steps while you moved infront of her to take the image of her coming towards you and even catching her reflection in the puddle.
As it is, it is a great image with a story to tell. I like the way she is pushing the chair into the empty space. Well done. |

I love the light in this image, however I do feel that the foreground branches create a "barrier" into the image. |

This is a great image, Jim, and I couldn't resist having a play with it. I hope you don't mind.
I have cropped out some of the sand in the foreground and the right hand side of the tree. I have cloned out the line of seaweed. Also I have increased the saturation and painted in some of the colour into the top corners as they feel a little cold. I have tried to tease out some more detail in the branch as I regard this as the "hero" of the image. |

The adjustment brush is worth a try. I think you might find there is no detail in the blown out areas and the adjustment brush will just produce a grey patch. This area needs some detail painted in. |

I love this image. It is a great action shot. Photographing live performances is difficult because you have little or no control over the lighting. You have done well to capture a sharp action image.
Jaqueline is right in saying that some of the areas are blown out.
I have had a bit of a play with your image to see what I could do.
1. Desaturated and darkened the fellow on the right hand side so he blended in with the audience.
2. Cropped out the four lights on the left hand side. I find them distracting.
3. I copied, rotated and pasted the performers left thigh over the blown out section of his right thigh.
4. I have darkened the hot spots on the performer's forehead.
This wonderful image can be more than just a happy memory with the grandies. |
