27 Mar 18 Comment I feel that in this image you have added just the right amounts of brightness and saturation to improve the image. I like the increase in texture that you have applied to parts of the blue background. I am not normally in favour of using 'distressed edges' to an image, but here I feel that it has worked very well creating an interesting piece of framing. Mar 13th
27 Mar 18 Comment To me this is a very pleasant, tranquil scene, which conveys a sense of spring with the dead reed heads in the foreground and the tree buds just starting to break in the background. I feel that you added just about the right amount of vibrance to the colours. Mar 13th
27 Mar 18 Comment To me the cropping off of the gent in the original images was essential, his red clothing would have made him strong centre of attention. I feel that converting tomato was fairly good choice, as it concentrate attention onto the bottles nearest to the camera. To me you needed to use a much smaller aperture as the nearest bottles are not as sharp as they should be, compared with those on the left of the image. Mar 13th
27 Mar 18 Comment I like the atmospheric effect you have achieved in this image, in particular the misty effect on the left. I am sure that adding the sunrays to the original image has added a further dimension, but as you suggest you have probably overdone it. I feel the area to the right of the tree is much too bright.

27 Mar 18 Comment Photographing white birds in sunlight is always a challenge as so much of the feather detail can burn out. There are a number of possible solutions setting a manual exposure, reducing auto exposure by 1 stop are both effective. You exposed in Raw this allows you to use the highlights slider in ACR/Lightroom to put some detail back in the burnt out areas. Another technique is to do 2 raw conversions one for the background and one for the highlights then combine them masking as required.
I feel that the bird is too large in frame it needs some more space above and below it.
I also think that it would have benefitted from a slightly smaller aperture to bring the whole of the far wing and feet into biting sharpness		 Mar 13th
