I hope you're feeling better.

My apologies for my tardiness. I've been on the road most of June and July. I hope to have some NEW pictures to share next month!

14 Jul 23 Reply It was a very bright day, so I probably could have handled f8. Thanks for the suggestion, since I'll probably try again!

14 Jul 23 Reply Great suggestion on toning down that yellow in the background. I will give that a try.
Thanks!

14 Jul 23 Comment I was immediately struck by the sadness emanating from this creature and the situation. Your description only enhances this. You have definitely evoked an emotional response with this image. And, that's without seeing the chain at first glance. So, I agree that some lightening of that area would only enhance this image.

Great capture!

14 Jul 23 Comment What an awesome event this must have been to behold!

I do agree about that round white spot. It detracts from the star of the show - the beautiful Opera House. Here's a thought (although my photojournalistic friends would cringe!)...

1. Move the red/blue arched lights slightly up and to the left. It's pretty cool and you don't want to lose it!
2. Crop to just above the big white spot and it's surrounding lights.

this gives you two benefits.
1. You remove the distraction.
2. You create move of a panorama crop to further enhance the vastness of this spectacle!

I'm green with envy!

14 Jul 23 Comment What a great capture!

My two wishes would be to:
1. have a bit more "head room" for the stationary horse - if that's available in the original image. (Possibly a Canvas Extension in Ps?)
2. Expand your removal of the lettering on the sign behind the horse's head to completely remove those distractions.

Great job on freezing this moment!

14 Jul 23 Comment I have mixed feelings about the B&W background. I kind of like it, but the bright areas are just too bright. Maybe some Gaussian blur in Ps would do the trick...? I'm mainly a Lr gal, myself, but there are some images that just beg to be treated to a little Ps magic!

Beautiful flower and image!

14 Jul 23 Comment Another great 75 MPH capture!

My only wish is that it had more of a "landscape" crop to it to emphasize the vastness of the area. You certainly don't want to lose any of that great sky, but maybe take just a bit off the bottom...?

Great job!
