Piers, I really like the image after making the changes that Shirley suggested. I also believe that Harry is correct in that you can move the sky around or actually change where the light comes from in Luminar 4. Great images either way, but I'm partial to barns and farmland! |

Great shot. I do agree the Harry and Martin on the cropping and brightening. If you use LightRoom, I'd try a circular filter around the subject to brighten it up. It's easy to control the amount of brightness in a given area using the brush tool in the circular filter application. As for the rule of thirds, I find it confusing as well as to when to keep it. To me, I find that in my macro work, if the rule of thirds leaves a lot of dead space, I crop it out. Welcome to the group, Jaqueline! |

Thanks so much, Piers, for pointing out the 3-D effect. I don't think I actually saw that until you said it. Right, no polarizer used. |

I'm not having a very good time at computing today. Not sure why my same message reposted at 3am this morning but when I deleted it, I also deleted your response. Sorry! Sounds like you want to keep the confusion as to what was actually going on...mission accomplished! |

Gutsy move on your part to capture this great action. I like the conversion to B&W but I'd like to see a bit more of the surroundings. I think the closer crop loses the separation of her from the crowd. I like the focus on the young girl's face, but I feel conflicted as to what's actually going on. The more I look at it the more I think that maybe the conversion caused the separation loss. Perhaps consider just a desaturation of the background instead of a full-blown B&W. Great shot, at any rate! |

Great edit, Shirley, on this hummingbird. I don't know a lot about hummers either but I think this might be a Rufus. When I lived outside of Memphis I would get 3-4 of these at a feeder. They are very territorial. I wonder if that twig above his beak might be better removed. It almost distracts from his beak. If it's removed, you may be able to crop off a bit of the left side. If it were my photo, I would try flipping it so that he's looking right instead of left. But that's just something I generally consider. Nice job! |

Love this, Harry! I have taken many photos of hibiscus but never cut one off the bush to photograph. I think your photo stacking worked very well. The pink flower with just a few leaves against the black background was a wise choice as the flower just stands out. I agree with Shirley on a bit of crop off the left. Not sure about needing any off the bottom. |
