Another excellent still life Ella. I agree with all the comments by John, Peter, Ed, and Ian. |

An excellent low key image Paul. You might consider making the darkest shadows lighter either by dodging with a small brush or using NIK CEP detail extractor (which I used) to expose the detail that is present in the darkest shadows of the rocks and the small branch at the bottom. I didn't want to remove the low key aspect of the image or the vignette but just have more detail visible in the shadows. |

Well exposed image Ed. I agree with John about cropping out the far bank. For me personally, the foliage of the far bank appears flat but the river with the flowing water and static rock have the correct amount of contrast and reveals more depth of field. |

Interesting viewpoint Ian. I like the graphic composition and use of contrast to enhance the image. Well done. |

Well done Peter! Substituting a different sky and converting to monochrome definitely improves the image. |

Thank you all Ian, John, and Peter. I appreciate your input very much. I am definitely not an expert in portrait photography as you can see. No instructions were given other than to pose in a way that she thought would look nice to her. I could clone out the reflective wall decorations but would struggle a bit with the black 2x4 that does not extend all the way across the image and does not reflect the light evenly along its length. Also, does Ian mean for me to tone down (darken) the bright area behind her? |

Thank you Darcy, I really appreciate that.
My suggestion is to start with a medium wide angle (somewhere between 28mm and 35mm). Use a tripod if available and if stitching multiple exposures together overlap about 25 to 30 % to give Adobe Photoshop a lot of information to work with. Good Luck! |

Yes, the version of NIK that I use is what Google used to give away. |

Interesting image Ed. What interests me most is the scale of the waterfall. Judging by the size of the foliage, the waterfall is only about a foot or two in height yet dominates the image.
Like Mark, I am curious about the course you are taking. |

I like what Mark has done with your image Paul. Personally I am too lazy to do that much work. It may have been easier to zoom in with the lens you used to 80mm instead of at 24mm. Either way, I like the HDR image that you produced. |

Your post processing is spot on Mark. The final image is amazing. |

Nice composition Darcy. The only change I suggest is to try to expose more detail in the deepest darkest shadows. I used the "detail extractor" tool in NIK CEP2 and a small brush to paint in the changes. The change is most visible in the arch shaped shadow at the bottom of the image. |

Thank you Mark for your input. As for your curiosity about capturing another row for the immediate foreground, it would reveal how close the road is to the water. I was standing only one or two steps off the road and I cropped out the gravel while leaving as much of the plant growth as possible in the image. When you are looking at the expanded view of the image, the road is in front of the houses on the left, disappears behind the trees and circles behind where I am standing. I didn't think that having the road in the final image would add anything to the final result. Sometimes you have to do the best you can with what is physically present and omit what distracts. |
