Very rarely does an image like this appear. As mentioned, the position of the birds in flight suggest the shape of the cliff. (I would not remove a single bird.) All of this is good, but what this outstanding in my eyes is the one sitting bird. Just one bird. No more. |

No doubt, the star of the image is the Japanese Maple tree. The vibrant red of the leave is what draws the attention. I think I would not remove the background, but I would give it a slight blur and perhaps desaturate the color slightly. The blue of the roof tends to hold back the full power of the red leaves. |

Will, this image causes me to try to understand what I am looking at. That's good. I have been following your project with great interest and realize you have a talent for looking at architecture and finding the unusual.
The upper panel, by itself, is blank and of little interest. The bottom panel is filled with shapes and textures. Together they create, for me, a most interesting image of complimenting contrast. I look forward to seeing more of your work. |

Dale! Dale! Dale! Love it!
I like the fact that you removed the light pole and other distraction. I also like the vintage look you gave to the image with your sepia toning. Finally, you made what I feel was the correct decision with your crop. |

I enjoy this image. You recorded the image just at the right moment. I think I would enjoy the image more if it were in an 8X10 ratio with less of the water showing. |

Canan, you have presented us with a very interesting image. It is almost an abstract.
I have never used a Lensbaby, and this is the first image that I can remember seeing from one. I can see where it would be fun to use. By having that lens, you can produce images that photographers without the lens can produce. |

Thank you all. I have considered each comment and as a result, believe I have been able to improve my image. It now fits better with the other images of mine that go in this series.

The reason I fully process the color image first, is to be able to save the color image for future use. I then open Silver Efex from Photoshop and convert to B&W. In the B&W conversion I use the color filters to fine tune the tones.
If you have ever processed a color image as a B&W and then go back and try to go back to color, you have found that the color image colors are not good.
In processing a color image, you are working with color separation in order to create the emotional response you desire. In Black and white, you are dealing with tonal values to create the emotional impact you are after. |

Thank you for these comments. DeLand is a great place to live. It is also the home of Stetson University. |

First, yes, the street has a slight slope to it.
Second, it has taken me a few years of study to learn Ps, and I am still learning.
A good place to start would be the PSA online course on beginning Photoshop. After that, there are many online teachers who could be of help. I have a favorite I follow.
Mostly it is a step-by-step process. |

You are right! I went back and looked at all of my originals and none of them show that position. But look at all that the AI Remove tool did without me having to go back and create the background behind the removed objects. Amazing. |

It is the same position. This image was recorded a moment after the full building shot, and the bottom of the right leg has been cropped. |

Thanks for your critique. I will go back to the image and see if anything needs to be done. The entire building is painted grey, which makes it harder to work with. I am giving each image in the project a slight blue tint to mimic the selenium toning I used to do in my wet darkroom. |

Thanks for your remarks. I am really enjoying the project of photographing the buildings in downtown DeLand. The man you pointed out was sitting at a strange angle. (See the close up attached.) |
