5 Nov 21 Reply That must be such a shock. I am a newbie here but loved the way he brought a different take on our passion Nov 14th
5 Nov 21 Reply Thanks Oliver, I think the extra light there does help Nov 12th
5 Nov 21 Comment Hi Nick...just wondering why you used the pen tool for this. The image as presented is quite low resolution but presumably as shot it was large and sharp so Photoshop select subject should have done a better job of selecting the hair. And the white spot under her arm which looks like original background. Her feet look strange. Nov 1st
5 Nov 21 Comment Hi Barbara I understand why you want to hang onto it. But cropped its also a very small file. I downloaded it and removed noise in Topaz Denoise AI and then tried a little sharpening. It has improved the noise a lot. Nov 1st
5 Nov 21 Comment What a beautiful sceen. Makes me want to be there. Foreground interest is great and there is so much colour in the sea that it balances the headland. The colours knock my eyes out though and I felt the image looked like it had a lot of dehaze saturating the colours and creating an unnatural sharpness in the clouds. The rocks look crunchy. I did have a go at it just desaturating and adding some blur except for the foreground. Nov 1st
5 Nov 21 Comment Hi Candia. Nice street study. I did find my initial reaction was to see the shop display window and the model there that you mention. Somehow the subject doesn't grab my attention. He is not isolated from the background and maybe its partly because the tones in his jacket blend with the window display. Maybe softer focus on the background would have helped. Nov 1st
5 Nov 21 Comment Gorgeous scene! Love the backstory too. Accepting that these are the real colours (even desaturated a little) I think the colour is too saturated for me. I notice that David has reduced saturation and used some yellow fill in the burnt out highlights. I think that and the revised crop does work better

5 Nov 21 Comment Yes this is definitely a rare find. Congratulations on the capture. I like everything about this. Its framed by the mushroom...its lines enclose the elfs and the colour grading and added texture work to make it look like a beautiful illustration in a vintage fairy tale book. Like the juxtaposition of the expressions. The pixie looks like more fun, the elf more like her mum. the light seems to come from the left except the pixie where it is ambiguous. Nov 1st
