15 Jun 20 Reply Thank you, Joan! Great idea! Jun 21st
15 Jun 20 Reply Thanks, Bob, for the great tips ! I will try the relight tool! I have been using the clock while working on the picture, but just exported the final product without saving it, so couldn't see the history. Will start saving the process! Jun 21st
15 Jun 20 Comment Dear Jeri, fantastic color and beautiful depth of field that makes the flower three-dimensional and floating in the air! I wonder if another option could be to just further blur the background to maintain the nice composition? Jun 14th
15 Jun 20 Comment Dear Linda, you have captured a fascinating moment full of exotic atmosphere with the fruit and the carcasses, the vehicles and the men in various garb from djellabas to Western sweats. It is a miracle that you got the scene on film in such challenging circumstances! All the elements are significant in the story. To me, the interaction between the men is maybe the most interesting aspect and could come to more focus with a tighter crop. That would mean sacrificing the lorry and the carcasses. What do you think of the idea? Jun 13th
15 Jun 20 Reply Dear Rick, thank you! Your kind words mean so much to me. I have been browsing through the previous rounds of the group and admired your pictures full of ideas and imagination. I am sure that you have a huge stock to work with!

15 Jun 20 Comment Dear Bob, what interesting details and vivid colors! To me, the most interesting area is in the left part of the picture: the window, the sign and the flowers, framed by the colorful markers/buoys. I was wondering what a tighter crop might look like, even a square. Of course it loses some information and becomes a different picture. In the square format, only a small portion of the chair would remain, and would have to be erased. What do you think?

15 Jun 20 Comment Dear Rick, I think that the transformation of an ordinary documentary-like photo to a work of art is just beautiful. The light and reflections on the glass are there in the original, too, but come to life in the final version.
As an owner of a brand new Topaz Studio 2 license (thanks to the PSA 30% discount), I am very grateful for the link to the tutorial!		 Jun 6th
15 Jun 20 Comment Dear Joan, what a lovely photo! I can smell the scent of seawater and feel the moisture of the fog on my skin. I wonder if the atmosphere would come through even stronger if it were somewhat more foggy (perhaps as originally without the filter?). This is how it would look like with a gradient mask with the Luminar 4 Dark Fog filter, maintaining the pier in the front almost intact but letting the tops of the masts almost disappear in the fog.

15 Jun 20 Reply Dear Rick, thank you for the wonderfully kind comments! I am so glad if the picture is able to mediate the feeling that I had in mind. I have to confess that I forgot to save the editing history and cannot recall the steps exactly. I think that I tinkered with while balance and saturation and hue of the yellows for the warmth of the color. I am very fond of the Orton effect, and probably have tried it here, too. I will keep better records next time! Jun 6th
