Thank you for commenting, Harry. As I commented to Hung and Piers, the statue was not meant to be an active part of the image, just merely there as an expression or thought. As for the darkening, perhaps some areas would have worked, but definitely not on the flower itself. Just not something I care for. |

Thank you for the kind words, Hung. Others seemed to like your edits but for me the image has taken on a burnish look. I like the leaves darkened down, but the flower looks muddy. My style for flowers is softer and much more pastel. |

Thank you for your thoughts, Shirley. Dodging and burning is a skill I have yet to try. I should work on that as I agree the leaves could have been a bit darker. Perhaps the Brush tool in Lightroom would accomplish the same thing. |

Thank you for commenting, Piers. In my creation, the statue is merely an expression and was not to be a prominent part of the image. |

Thank you for your comments. It took me quite a few looks to determine where you added to the twig. Those leaves are on their own tiny twig that, because of the angle, are not visible. Extending the main twig to make the leaves look a part of that twig makes sense. |

Very well done! I love the composition of the 3 images together. Bringing the farmer to the foreground really makes in the subject and the added landscape makes the story complete. Great job! |

You and everyone else is trying to find ways to occupy the days. Watching squirrels can pass a lot of time with their many antics. I like the idea of chopping but wondering if you change it a bit to include the birdfeeder and reduce some of the tree. Squirrels are always trying to get onto the feeder and I think it would add to the story. Also you might want to remove the twig on the tree that's running across the image. I might also remove the thicker cable that runs from top to bottom. It is very close to the squirrel's face. I did a quick edit to delete the twig and cable. See what you think. |

Nice catch of the horse's positioning and the rider leaning back just far enough so not to have the backdrop running through him. I wish we could see more of the rider's face. I do know how difficult it is to get good rodeo images as we have a few rodeos every Spring that I've shot. I do like the changes that Beverly made to the blue backdrop but I would also crop away some of the bottom because it would move the horse and rider from dead-center. |

I love the composition of this image. I think the edits you've done helped to soften the picture and I don't mind flowers appearing less sharp. I feel it adds to their delicateness. That said, I wonder if instead of trying to sharpen the flowers maybe soften the very sharp edge of the leaf in the bottom right. You may even try to darken it just a bit. I find that the leaf pulls my eye away from the flowers. |

Wow, I love that you saw to isolate the 2 yachts from the rest of the image and just include their silhouettes. All of your editing from the sun to the rays and brightening the sails, has really made a great image. |

I guess I have to be different! I love the composition of this image and I really love the soft blues of the original image. I guess I'm wondering how the original would look if the shadows were lifted similarly to what you did with the B&W? |
