86 Jul 22 Reply Thanks for your comment. I was to get this to an abstract competition image, but don't think I can. Agree that I will likely hand in my cave. Jul 15th
86 Jul 22 Reply Thanks for your comment. No vignette. There is no data om the darkest areas. PS cloning on "lighten" layer doesn't quite do it. Trying different crops. Jul 15th
86 Jul 22 Reply Thanks Quang and welcome to the group. Look forward to your insight and feedback. I agree with that the upper part is too dark, but there isn't much data there. Not sure what to do at this point. Jul 10th
86 Jul 22 Reply Appreciate you comment. I would like to clean this up a bit. Agree with comment on the dark corners, but not quite sure what (how?) to do. I was tempted to enter in an abstract competition, but did not. Jul 10th
86 Jul 22 Reply Thanks Bob. I have an 8 and I've got my eye on the 13 Pro. Glad to here you like it. Jul 10th
86 Jul 22 Comment Beautiful!! Nice leading "infinity" lines, and symmetry: clouds, water, surf, waves, white foam, wet sand, damp sand, dry sand, buildings, clouds. Bright, rich, balanced color. The person helps to define the massive scale. I also like the way the clouds on the left mirror the water/surf/foam. I would try to darken the bright spot in the clouds on the left, just a bit. Excellent. Jul 10th
86 Jul 22 Comment Wow. Very nice image. I agree with Quang's comments. I like what you've done with it, while maintaining a natural balance. I also agree with Quang to crop the left side of the image ... top and right side too. I love the setting, but want to see the bird. Jul 10th
86 Jul 22 Comment Very nice. Really like the rich colors (you are right Jack, the iPhone turns out great mid-day color) and composition. I think there is plenty of depth shown. Flowers in foreground are out of focus which I find a bit distracting close up. Focus lock on the foreground might have left the the rest of the image in focus? Jul 10th
86 Jul 22 Comment Very nice. The cat is tack sharp throughout. Nice catchlight in the eyes. I suggest you try and lighten the cats left eye a bit and the closest crop possible. Everything other than the cat is a distraction. Well done. Jul 10th
86 Jul 22 Comment Welcome Quang Phan!! Beautiful building and shot. I, too, like the pano iphone (8) for cathedrals/interiors. I have only shot to 90 degrees, or standing under the dome.
Your shot is taken near the alter, introducing a lot more distortion. And, your effort at 180 degrees admirable. I am surprised at the amount of keystoning. There is no EXIF data in the original image so I could not run through DxO Viewpoint for lens distortion and the "8 point" manual correction made no significant improvement. Do not know if ACR or PS have lens correction for the 12 Pro. Agree with crop on the foreground.

86 Jul 22 Comment B&W/sketched much more interesting than original. I like the composition and contrast. The lower third is primarily water (light) that, to my eye, is too much and tends to distract from the subject. Suggest you consider tightening the crop on the bottom and right side to showcase the building. I tend to like square crops for this style. I use the phone "camera" apps to shoot raw images, your work encourages me to look into the phone processing apps. Agree there is always room in the Creative Division. Jul 10th
