16 Apr 22 Reply I don't know where you live, but I have found street photography to be a source of some unique individuals. It is always a touchy matter taking someone's photo these days, especially for an older man. Lady photographers are less creepy, especially when taking photos of children. Parks are always a good location, especially in good weather. Starting out - just take interesting people's photos with a telephoto lens and work on them in LRC and PS to get the lighting and composition the way you want. Apr 20th
16 Apr 22 Comment I'm not quite sure what the subject of the photo is. If it is the beautiful colors of the layers in the cliffs, I might have moved to take the trees out of the image. I don't find the trees to be very photogenic, but if I liked them, I might have used some masking in Lightroom Classic to lighten the tree trunks and darken the sky. Apr 15th
16 Apr 22 Comment Terry - You nailed it. As for the hair in the lower right, you did a noteworthy job removing it. I would not have seen it were it not pointed out. Still, it appears only as a stray bit of light. Nice job. You do have an eye for portraiture I have seen from you before. That is something to consider in your future work. Apr 14th
16 Apr 22 Comment I really like your finished image! Slashing color down the middle of the white water is brilliant! Worthy of entering a photo competition!

16 Apr 22 Comment Very cute image, Kathleen. Rare to find two cubs in such a pose. The image is still over-exposed. Do you use Lightroom Classic at all, or is your post-processing done strictly on the iPhone? Apr 14th
16 Apr 22 Comment I agree with Terry, Walter. A 16x9 crop eliminating the top and bottom thirds, cloning out all distractions in the water, then sharpening the birds in Topaz Sharpen Ai would be my recommendation. Apr 14th
16 Apr 22 Comment Great work, Joan. You turned a rather boring photo into a piece of art to hang on anyone's wall! Well done. Apr 14th

67 Apr 22 Comment David - this is a very captivating photo of Yosemite Falls. I am intimately familiar with the location which I started photographing when I was eight years old and have visited multiple times in all seasons. I've never seen a shot quite like this. Capturing this rainbow was a great opportunity and you did it really well. Apr 19th
67 Apr 22 Comment Love that camera/lens combination Richard. I switched to all mirrorless, except for my D500. You can't beat that 300mm f/4 PF for sharpness either, as you aptly demonstrated. Your cropping did a masterful job of highlighting the action between the bird species. If you had inserted some dialog balloons, it would have made for interesting comments. It made me smile. Well done. Apr 15th
67 Apr 22 Comment Nice work, Richard! Bumblebees are in fashion. Handholding is difficult for these little guys as they buzz all over the place. Your bee detail is excellent. Apr 15th
67 Apr 22 Comment Ditto to all above. Great image, Michael. Apr 15th
67 Apr 22 Comment One of the finer flying GBH images I've seen lately. I like the darker top background with the lighter bottom half. It presents the bird beautifully.
