12 Jun 22 Reply I like the new color cast on the background. Keeps my eye on the baby. Anything that looks different from the main subject can draw the eye away. Jun 24th
12 Jun 22 Reply I noticed it right away! It's interesting to find out what other people notice in our photos! Jun 24th
12 Jun 22 Reply You can sort of imitate the look of a macro lens by severely cropping a high resolution image. Experiment with various f-stops. Jun 24th
12 Jun 22 Reply That is a wonderful website featuring your photographs! Jun 12th
12 Jun 22 Reply Thanks for taking out those miscellaneous stems. That had been too much work for me at the time! Jun 11th
12 Jun 22 Comment You captured the children's joy very well. All the bright colors contribute to that happy feeling, too. My method of de-emphasizing such a light background would be to use selective post-editing and darken the highlights and maybe slightly less exposure. I often do this to make a main subject stand out. I think some people call it light painting in post editing. I see the great reaction that you, the photographer, got when taking this photo. The children responded well. Jun 11th
12 Jun 22 Comment Welcome to our group, Fran! I love your first submission. How great that you have such knowledge of the wild horses! I love the lighting that makes all the details show up so well. Whatever image adjustments you made look real and not overdone. You certainly did position yourself in a good spot to get this great composition. I always like it when the background water is a reflection. Maybe you couldn't get more background because you would've gotten land instead. Jun 11th
12 Jun 22 Comment Yes, you caught the joy, for sure! I like the candid aspect, too. A sign of the times when you see someone in the background taking a phone photo! I often wonder what people do with so many photos nowadays. Phone cameras do a very good job taking well-exposed photos like this one. Jun 11th
12 Jun 22 Comment A really lovely scene with its peaceful mood. I'm glad you explained why the cup was there. I wouldn't have known, otherwise. I don't drink coffee and think of it as a breakfast drink. Your image's dreamy-ness is evident immediately. I might have enhanced the yellow and orange coloring to be more intense but without looking fake, to match the intensity of the blue coloring in the bottom area. Jun 11th
12 Jun 22 Comment Now the joyful baby has no distractions behind her. Good idea. You carried it out well. The graduated background was a good choice. Sometimes I have blurred a background so much that it turned into a color-coordinated gradation. I like the lighting and pose. Jun 11th
12 Jun 22 Comment I see the joyful story. And the word DAD is so appropriate for this month of June when Father's Day happens. At first, I thought the adult giving the piggyback ride was a DAD, but at close look I think it is a woman. Your cropping has cut to the interesting activity in your image. Capturing a moment in time is what such photo shots do so well. This joy is frozen in time now! Jun 11th
