26 May 22 Reply The green spot is just the background and is not part of the flower, but I can darken it towards black.
The reason auto focus stacking would not work is the software in the camera probably has a time limit for exposure to exposure when refocusing, and these were long at f13 using window light. So it cut the exposure time to meet the limit, and I had to do the focus points manually.		 May 22nd
26 May 22 Comment I agree with Jose about that transition line in the background. Maybe while looking at that, take out the soft shadow from the hands. Very unique pose. May 14th
26 May 22 Comment I keep debating if having the shadows open o little more on the trees would improve the results or not, so I could see a little more there. (The contrasts shadows are okay for me, as they are patterns in the foreground.) May 14th
26 May 22 Comment I actually prefer Original and Original 2 more, both for different reasons. The image suffers from softness. I am not sure if you have used any of the new AI focus plugins like Topaz Focus AI, but they sometimes can work miracles on images like this. Even in the low res version here, it brought back a lot of sharpness, and I suspect it would work much better on the original. If you do not have it, this would be a good test subject to try, using the free trial version. May 3rd
26 May 22 Comment Nicely seen. With the fog, the figure is disappearing a little into the background, and the s-curve and road lines push your eyes to the figure. May 3rd
26 May 22 Comment Very nice: Sharp bird, soft focus background.I wold suggest cropping at the bottom to eliminate the blurred vegetation at the bottom. If you have not, I think a small amount of outside vignetting would help too. May 3rd
