75 Mar 24 Reply Thanks folks. I think it is also attributed to jpeg compression. It would be great if postings could use the heic format. Not only are we getting loss of gradation but also a loss of color fidelity. Mar 4th
75 Mar 24 Comment Very nice lighting and technical processing. I am curious why you chose process C in helicon. 95% of the time I use B. Mar 3rd
75 Mar 24 Comment Unfortunately, I don't recognize the tree, but my plant ID software says it is a Kigelia africana, Sausage Tree. I think this is correct after plugging it into my online resources. You should see fruit that hangs like a tan sausage once the flowers set. Thanks for bringing this one to our group. Mar 3rd
75 Mar 24 Comment Nicely composed and exposed using your Iphone. Just enough dof to make the subject stand out from the plant foliage. Maybe a bit darker in the background, but only a minor issue IMO. Mar 3rd
75 Mar 24 Comment Velvia is/was such a great media. I really like the exposure on the lupine. Well composed and nicely processed from the scan. Mar 3rd
75 Mar 24 Comment Very nice Vincent. I do not have much to offer beyond Murphy's suggestion. Perhaps the unopened blooms could be brighter to keep them with the subject once the background is darkened. Mar 3rd

90 Mar 24 Reply Thanks for your thoughtful comments and edits. I did not think of using daze via a radial mask. On that same strategy I also opened the eyes via a curve. Between my the two radial mask it is a marked improvement. Mar 13th
90 Mar 24 Reply Barbara I based my comment on the original image submitted for comparison. You would be the only one to know what looks right and I'm viewing the image via a jpeg and limited resolution as required by the site. Bottom line well done Mar 4th
90 Mar 24 Comment Very nice image capture and excellent with the foreground reflection. My only suggestion is to tone down the contrast a bit on the subject as it is a bit crunchy to my eyes. Mar 3rd
90 Mar 24 Comment Wow image. Not much I could offer on a great capture. Mar 3rd
90 Mar 24 Comment Nice detail and composition Ginny. I might suggest that you darken the very bright background a bit just so the eye moves to the subject more. I would not go too dark as the subject would get lost. Mar 3rd
90 Mar 24 Comment Thanks Ginny. I did brighten the eye but the fog between the subject and lens creates a very low contrast brightness so I had to dial it back. I used exposure, shadow and the black sliders in LR via a Radial filter. Perhaps someone with more skills can suggest a better remedy. Mar 3rd
