26 Aug 23 Comment As others have stated, the one plane going up is what gives this image the dynamics. Some might object that there is no motion in the props, but in this case, I don't believe it is necessary, as the smoke trails serve that purpose of providing a sense of motion. Aug 9th
26 Aug 23 Comment Lots of mystery here that works very well. I might look at toning down that one brightest out of focus area just a bit. Aug 9th
26 Aug 23 Comment Thank goodness for camera raw! You did not mention if you applied any noise reduction in the process; the noise level is very low in the final result, which would be a testament to the camera. The image seems just a tad dark (but still acceptable), and the histogram bears that out. I wonder if slightly darkening the stem below the bottom wing might help, because outside of the bird, it is the brightest spot. Great capture. Aug 7th
26 Aug 23 Comment Agree with it looking like a formal portrait, since you got such a wonderful pose. Great framing. Would not change anything. Aug 6th
26 Aug 23 Comment Great symmetry and exposure. You nailed it. Agree with Jose about the one bokeh. Aug 6th
26 Aug 23 Comment I prefer the mono version too; colors can sometimes be a distraction. I like the composition. However, for me, the blankets/pillows on the couch are more noticeable in B&W, due to the lighter tones. I am not bothered by the darker dots on the couch itself, but my eye tends to wonder to the blanket, and perhaps selecting a darker grey might help. Aug 6th
26 Aug 23 Reply Yes, I see the halos on the left, probably from compression and the high contrast there. I had the same issue on the right, and will have to work on the left too. In this case, I probably would have had better results in PS< where the masks can be more precise. Aug 6th
