Backlit fringing works very well on furry animals as they have a furry edge or the back lighting is glancing across part of their back or it is coming through some raised fur. It can work well on rocks etc where the light is glancing off the surface. If the object has hard edge and this would create a hard shadow, I do not think there should be fringing. This is most usually created in camera when there isa hard edge between dark and light areas - we often see it on TV when somebody is inteveiwed against a light background. In PS it can often be removed by cloning with a small soft brush and using darken mode, which can prevent it flowing on to the object. |

We had couple of months of unusually dry and sunny weather here in the UK, I am planning to repeat the visit in the near future on a cloudy day, which will reduce the brightness on the foliage and have some more water around the stepping stones. |

Renee - if the halo had been created in an PS adjustment layer to lighten the rock, adjusting the mask could remove the halo . It was possibly created using a brush and masking in Lightroom and again adjusting the mask could remove it. |

This is one of the scenes that you must photograph when you are there, with the chapel standing out against he background of the mountains. I wonder if you could have moved more to the right so that the front of the chapel would not have been so near to the edge of the frame.
To me this should be a mono image - have converted it using 2 black and white adjustment layers. |

The first thing that struck me about this image was the brightness and strength of the contrasting colours, they make a very strong background. I like the threads coming down, they create a form of texture over the image, whilst allowing the orchids to show through. I feel that the doorway on the left is a distraction as both it and the plants in front of it are some of the lightest parts of the image. |

Your use of the intervalometer to get a series of images over time, so that you could select the best to use was a very good idea, it remove a fairly boring few minutes keeping pressing the shutter. I like your post processing, the darkening of the sky has really made the lightning stand out. Often looking at long exposures we can see details that we have missed with the naked eye because they are relatively faint and/or constantly moving a small amount. |

I was hoping to go to Iceland last month, but it was cancelled in February as there were not enough booking for the trip. I really like this, it is different to most of the images of the Iceland coast that I see. I like the positioning of the rock and the sun, both being on intersecting thirds and the way the shore line leads to the distant rocks and sun. Your lens has made an excellent job of adding rays to the sun. Unfortunately it appears that in dodging the foreground rock to bring up detail, a too soft edge tool has been used which has created a halo. |

You have captured a good expression on your friend's face. as she is looking at something off camera. The fairly flat lighting has meant that we do not have the harsh shadow across her face that occurs on a sunny day. This is her, so I would not make any alterations or smoothing to her face. I am not very keen on the way that the 'blanket' is cut off on the right, there is enough of the blanket else where to make ig right across the image. |

The cropping and removal of a couple of extra branches was definitely needed. Well done with your dodging on the mother , she needed to be made to stand out more. personally I find the green to be too vivid and I would have toned it down a little. If it were mine I would experiment with cropping off/ cloning out the strip of vegetation cutting through the reflection, as the brightness of it is a distraction.
