16 Feb 22 Reply I would clone out the cell/light tower on the right, giving the pilot theoretically the option to bank and climb to avoid the nearer tree on the left. That being said, with that plane and engine, he/she is going to crash anyway. Fun picture to contemplate, however. Feb 21st

16 Feb 22 Comment Hi Terry. I love your subject and would have enjoyed the tale of where and how you found it. WRT Luminar Ai Sky feature, one has to be very careful to consider where light is reflecting on the subject and where the light source is in the sky. Here, the light source is in the upper right of the photo behind the subject. Luminar Ai Skies has a drop-down feature where you can change the sky horizontally and vertically a bit, but not very well. To answer your question, this sky is overly dramatic for the image. If you get into it, you can take/make your own sky imagess to use. Feb 18th
16 Feb 22 Comment That's a great waterfall and well worth the trip. Terry had some good points on bringing out the light colors, esspec ially in the pool. The distracting element for me is the clump of white snow on the left of the falls. I might have cloned that out for drawing the viewer's eyes away from the subject. Still, I love the photo! Feb 18th
16 Feb 22 Comment Nice photo of a hard-to-find mountain goat. I suspect the blue is a storm drain culvert. Feb 18th
16 Feb 22 Comment Interesting how the bird's shadows play out on the undersides of the wings. Nice capture of fast-moving creatures. A little Topaz DeNoise Ai wouldn't hurt. Feb 18th
16 Feb 22 Comment Great capture - composition, color, texture - all there. Frame and put it on the wall! Feb 18th
16 Feb 22 Comment Being a retired aviator, the first thought I had was, "How did the pilot make it through there?" Nice job making a dull photo very exciting. Feb 18th
16 Feb 22 Comment Thank you all. No HDR here Walter. 😉 Feb 18th

67 Feb 22 Comment Hi Larry: Your consistent message has been about viewers' eyes being attracted to the brightest spot in a photo. That's why I'm perplexed, with all the editing you did, that you didn't clone out that rather large clump of snow on the left side of the photo? I have opened and closed the photo a number of times and all I see is that white clump. It detracts from what otherwise is a great waterfall picture. Just my thoughts... Feb 19th
67 Feb 22 Comment Larry took the words right out of my mouth...

Good lesson for us all. Thanks.

67 Feb 22 Comment Nicely framed bobcat Richard. Although the shot is a little fuzzy, at least you got it. I've been using Topaz DeNoise Ai in conjunction with Topaz Sharpen Ai with really great results for shots like this. Feb 19th
67 Feb 22 Comment I like the photo Two main distractions for me: (1) clone out the very bright and distracting spot above the palm tree in the center with more of the dark clouds adjoining it to have a small bright light focal point and (2) use a mask to slightly lighten the foliage on the left side to match that of the foliage across the creek to balance the image. To me, the density of the foliage provides an interesting frame to your leading line. Feb 12th
