5 Sep 18 Reply The bug on the mouth looks good. To give a natural look, change the shape of the second bug or replace it with another type. Sep 13th
5 Sep 18 Reply The color variations may be due to varietal differences. Further, I have enhanced the selected colors too. Sep 3rd
5 Sep 18 Comment I love this image. Your modifications are wonderful.
Some more information about this plant for those who are not familiar:
These carnivorous plants, commonly know as pitcher plants, have modified leaves called pitfall traps.
Scientific name : Nepenthes distillatoria (with colorful pitchers) or Nepenthes truncata (greenish pitchers). Foraging, flying or crawling insects such as flies are attracted to the cavity formed by the cupped leaf, often by visual lures such as anthocyanin pigments, and nectar bribes. The rim of the pitcher (peristome) is slippery, when moistened by condensation or nectar, causing insects to fall into the trap. The small bodies of liquid contained within the pitcher traps are called phytotelmata. They drown the insect, and the body of it is gradually dissolved by enzymes secreted by the plant. The prey items are converted into a solution of amino acids, peptides, phosphates, ammonium and Scripturea, from which the plant obtains its mineral nutrition (particularly nitrogen and phosphorus).

I have posted one image in Group16 in April 2017 and another one in May 2012.

16 Sep 18 Reply Nice work Walter. Thanks for sharing the method. Sep 19th
16 Sep 18 Comment Very sharp image. The colors are pleasing. The texture on leaf surface is very clear. Your trimming looks good to me. The tender leaf in the center is slightly over exposed, I think it can be burned a little. Sep 13th
16 Sep 18 Reply Text look like Russian 😒 Sep 11th
16 Sep 18 Reply This image was taken mainly for 3D purpose, hence I kept three plains intentionally. May be I can remove the front deck here for 2D presentation. Thanks. Sep 3rd
16 Sep 18 Comment Nice sports shot. I liked the way you trimmed the image to give more space in the front. It is good that you flipped the image, I like the movement from left to right. The lighting looks good to me. You can try to bring more details on the face of the subject using Shadow/Highlight option in the software. Sep 3rd
16 Sep 18 Comment Ha! look like a baby doll. I liked the expression of the child. Your trimming is perfect. The corrections you have done look good and the details have come out nicely. No suggestions from my side. (The child have long fingers, may be a future artist!!!) Sep 3rd

68 Sep 18 Reply The light is coming from front left side, hence the hair is highlighted. Sep 14th
68 Sep 18 Comment Looks like a very cool April to me, we will be having temp ranging from 38-40 degree C (100-104 F) during this period!!! Nice depth of snow, water and mountains. The lighting is good and the texture on the snow is visible. Nice image. Sep 13th
68 Sep 18 Comment Interesting image. To me, it looks like the image has been vertically flipped. The left tree gives such an impression. I tried to experiment with the image, flipped vertically and the resulting image is given below. To me, that looks better. I also tried a change in left and right image after flipping vertically too, then the clouds in the shape of cross comes between the two plains of trees too. Sep 13th
68 Sep 18 Comment Interesting subject and action. Except the dancing girl, almost all are not facing the camera. The movement of the main subject is visible and interesting. To me, the center portion is a little crowded and the main subject merges with the person in yellow costume. If you have moved a little to the left side, this distraction could have been avoided.

68 Sep 18 Comment Nice depth. I liked the composition. The lighting inside the trolley looks good to me. The left portion of the green trolley is slightly over exposed. This can be corrected using shadows/highlights option in photoshop. (A quick trial sample attached) Sep 13th
68 Sep 18 Comment Nice colors. The image is sharp with good lighting. The stereo effectiveness is excellent. I like the black background. Sep 11th
