26 Jun 22 Reply Coming from a 45 mb 16 bit image, it is probably just noise or jpeg compression. I will look to see if it is in the full res version, and if it is, apply a bit of denoise to the sky only, or 1 or 2 pixel blur to the sky if only in the jpeg version (more likely). Thanks. Jun 28th
26 Jun 22 Comment I like this viewpoint. I like taking old cars, even though they do not always do well in competitions.
Even though I know the grill should be curved, I thought that pictorially it might look better if it was "straight". By using Transform, it also brought the head lamp a little more forward. I also did a mask inside the light, and added warmth, as if it was on. Finally, to get more local contrast, I selected the back grills and added more light and contrast.		 Jun 25th
26 Jun 22 Reply I have a friend that has a "one mile rule"; if you add something that was taken within a mile, it is okay ;-)
Even the blotchy light lines in the foreground, which in most pictures would be problematic, work to add to the effect.		 Jun 7th
26 Jun 22 Comment I think you nailed it. Your final adjustments in the lighting really make for a beautiful composition. Jun 5th
26 Jun 22 Comment Very interesting different "levels" of reflections from the spacing of the trees. The bottom left reflection might be darkened down so that the eye is not pulled there. But I certainly would not want the left tree cropped out, as I think it gives the image contrast and a framing base. Similarly, you might consider darkening the water on the right edge to help with that framing, and balance with the top right. Jun 5th
26 Jun 22 Comment What a lovely abstract. I suggest that you could crop a little off the top so that the head does not end up being centered vertically. Jun 5th
26 Jun 22 Comment I am envious, as I missed this place when I was there. Your treatment and composition work for me. The only suggestion I have is to consider a linear gradient from the the bottom left corner to subtly darken it just a little there as a base. Jun 5th
26 Jun 22 Comment As you mentioned, the face uncovered makes all the difference. The only suggestion I have is to consider rotating the image so that the background wall and frame are more aligned horizontally. You may not be able to completely straighten, as this might cause the head to be too close to the top. Jun 5th
