Trey, As per your suggestions I redid the image cloning the blue sky and darkening the leaves. I duplicated the background layer and then added a new layer to clone on. Cloning the leaves was a bit difficult because there are different levels of blurriness in the image. I cloned mainly from the right side of the image in sections so the cloning wouldn't look so choppy. I then created an image file at the top (Command+Option+Shift+E), went into the RAW window and chose the background icon. I then moved the exposure slider to -30 to darken the leaves. What do you think about the change? Not sure I did a great job at cloning but the change does give a more uniform look overall. |

Hi Trey, The original image was too dark so lightened the image over all then selected the birds only and lightened them more. I shall try and see if I can select the background and see if the leaves can be darken just a bit more. As to the sky on the right, it did bother me but I didn't bother cloning the area. I do agree that cloning it would have helped and will work on the image again with your suggestions. Thanks. |

Thank you for explaining the relationship between the zebras and egrets. Storytelling is important aspect of photography especially in travel photography. They say that no two zebras are identical in regards to the black/white stripes on their body. I did see a some differences in the striping of the zebras but it took awhile. I wonder if the zebras can tell the difference? Anyways, Sophie, it looks like you had the lifetime of a trip to see the animals on the African savannah....looking forward to seeing more of your images from Africa. |

Your creative imagination never ceases to amaze me....love everything about this image from the moon, sky, castle, bats. Your attention to detail is amazing...there is just enough texture in the shadowy area of the trees complimented with a bit of softness in that area. And, on top of this, you are a poet...This is a wonderfull image. l can't wait to see what your December image will be like. Will Santa Claus be making an appearance in your December image? |

Your image reminded me of a winery about an hour away from my home that also has fields of lavender. Your image reminds me that I should go back there and take some images and have a glass of wine. In all seriousness, the smell of the lavender field must have been intoxicating. Interesting that the clouds in the sky and lavender plants are angling toward the left. I like the mixture of greens, purples and blues in the image. The removal of the wires and poles in the final image was a good idea. As far as the smoke from the nuclear reactor in the image goes, have you ever thought to put a rocket from Elon Musk's inventory of space rockets and place it in the clouds of smoke? Then, it would look like a space ship just took off in a cluster of clouds and no one would know there was a nuclear reactor nearby! All kidding aside, Jay, this is a nice image.

Really enjoy your travel images, Sanford. Using a drone gives one such a perspective especially in the curvatures and folds of the terrain. The colors in the mountains are beautiful and eye-appealing. The curving line of the path mimics the curving path of the waterway down in the valley. Well done, Sanford. |

Wow Trey, you really brought this image to life. I love the harmony of colors in this image
from the school bus, trees, house, grasses and barn. The colors all go so well together. The curving line of the road and its continuing line brings the eye to the cluster of buildings. The picture is all the more interesting because, even though it's small in the image, is the school bus. All these elements really add visual interest to the image. Well done, Trey. |

I think it's a good idea to work on one area of photography and not try to master too many things at once. Sometimes trying to tackle too much at one time leads to frustration. So I commend you for working on your panorama and the post processing steps. This is really a nice panorama with the leading line (road) and the difference in the trees on the right vs. the trees on the left is interesting. Nice range of color and brightness. The image looks like a peaceful place to walk and contemplate the joys of nature. Nice image Ian. |
