12 Oct 24 Reply Regarding the editing of the "light" things, I once saw a tutorial about it. I've been doing it to every photo ever since because it made such a huge difference in the photo's impact for so little work! Can change a snapshot into, well, a much better snapshot! Oct 16th
12 Oct 24 Comment This is a haunting image. The flood waters provide nice reflections but also remind me of the devastation accompanying them. I remember this high water happening in Kansas City. When I looked at the rivers downtown, it was frightening to see the river covering up docks and encroaching on the walkways. The section of the woods and water that you've photographed is interesting in its composition with its lines, diagonals, and trees. A suggestion would be to get rid of the bright piece of sky coming through the trees. See my photo below for what I mean. It's a small change, but I think it helps focus the viewer's attention on the water and tree reflections. Oct 10th
12 Oct 24 Comment I love your originality with the subject matter of the reflection. I never realized that an outdoor tree ornament could have such a great photo opportunity! When I've tried to take an ornament reflection photo indoors, all I get is me, of course! You have certainly used some great photo skills here to produce this image. I'm enjoying it very much. And now you have inspired me to go looking for better outdoor reflections during the upcoming holiday season. Oct 10th
12 Oct 24 Comment Like your husband thought, I also thought these kinds of lighthouse reflection pictures were from a large body of water. Your story has now prepared me for the letdown and also the challenge for whenever I visit a lighthouse again. I do see the lighthouse as the primary subject and the "stones" as a border around it. An idea for improvement would be to make the stones a tiny bit lighter than the white of the lighthouse. I used the Photoshop darken tool for just the brightness areas and painted over those stones. Can you tell that now the lighthouse is the brightest and whitest object? I may have overdone the effect, but I wanted to make it easily observable that the stones no longer have that same bright white as the lighthouse. And our eye goes to the lightest, brightest, whitest parts of an image. Also, goes to any bright color, and the red of the lighthouse fulfills that function very well. Oct 10th
