A beautiful bird on a branch, a bird of prey, looking into the future. Why a square choice.... The processing is interesting: just by cropping and making a high pass on the bird, you get detail in the bird. Your version is interesting, but it gives the impression of a pencil drawing.
I just placed the bird on a strong tier, gave it the space in front of it and sharpened the feathers to get more detail. This is just my interpretation. You've seen a superb bird and you've managed to trigger the shutter to capture it on your camera. |

One insect eats another. It's horrible, but that's life. Here I notice the sharpness of the insect, the eye, the position on this flower that serves as its airport, and which seems to fade away in the face of aggression. Eat or be eaten... That's the question. I'm not familiar with Topaz, but Pur Raw 2 also does wonders for denoising. It adds sharpness. It's very successful. Bravo |

If I describe the image, I see a photo of a motorcyclist with his machine. The original shows a red car, the final one a black one (and a few splashes of red)... The crop removes the top of the house, which adds a lot of light tones to the image.
Of course, when shooting in the street, you didn't necessarily have a flash. The biker's face is a little lacking, and the proximity of the (black) door means that the dark tone is strong and the biker's gaze is lost. I'm afraid that less density would make it look fake.
The subject is interesting and the photo is well enhanced. |

This scene shows a family of lions taking a siesta in the shade of a tree. But the lioness is always watching. She's looking ahead, perhaps to the next meal.
You've chosen to present the scene with the tree. The composition is therefore pleasing, and the animals are in their biotope. I can understand the choice of treatment, as the animals are in the shade, so we only see them in a second reading.
The scene is pleasant.
For more detail, couldn't we do a high pass in Photoshop, limiting the amount of detail to 3? This is just my point of view. |

Good call on the buzzards....
Maybe in the artist's pocket?
It dries fast...
I don't mean to put you on the spot?
Take a simple reading grid: What does the photo tell you about what it's about? Then what did the photographer contribute? his framing, his shot, the angle? Then what do you like about it (the color, the shape of the nose, the composition...)? Finally, the image's impact and areas for improvement.
Sorry, I give this grid to all my students at the University of Free Time for people who want to know more about photography.
But I don't mind if you don't say any more.
Thank you for your intervention. |

Well done Trey, that's funny, I thought you'd worked on your images together with Ian. The material is extremely well rendered. But compared to the original, we've lost the notion of the foam in the top right-hand corner. It's a choice, you've made it a contemporary, modern photo where explanations aren't necessary. The material that is water becomes metallic, with colours ranging from silvery grey to black. It's very interesting, pure and lively at the same ti |

It's very interesting. I liked the image instinctively before reading the text. I like the fact that there's no reference to anything, just the line and the purity of the graphics. It's a purity that leaves no room for interpretation. The brain is put to rest and the feeling opens up to something else. You receive the photo as a gift, thank you. |
