5 Aug 24 Comment This is such a good street capture. I enjoyed looking into the children's faces...they are not at all happy. Mom is stoical. We can only imagine what the scene was like getting the girls organized onto the bike. Jim has done a great job of cleaning up the background. Maybe try Content Aware Fill to extend the frame above Mom's helmet and trying to fill in the missing part this way? Adobe Generative Fill would do a good job on this but I have no idea what is legal within the scope of AI based tools and USA competitions. Aug 5th
5 Aug 24 Comment Swashbuckling is such a good way to describe this bird. The image captures his energy wonderfully well. I didn't really appreciate the reduced lighting in the final image and having spent some time enjoying the original I felt that was closer to where I would be. Keisha has suggested a half way house by bringing up the shadows.

5 Aug 24 Comment Congratulations Pete on such a creative idea and execution. My only thought is around the lighting on the rose and that it could be more appropriate to reduce the level of lighting to render a more soulful vibe Aug 5th
5 Aug 24 Comment Ahh what a bucket list destination and you have lived up to its quality in your image. Treatment of the mid-tones has given it a luminous quality while retaining plenty of texture. Love it! Aug 5th
5 Aug 24 Comment This is really enchanting and maybe a lot of that is due to her serene expression even while navigating a tight turn. The angle of the kayak and her body give the image a really dynamic feel. Its beautiful. On the subject of the logos etc I have been told off by judges for leaving this kind of thing in the image on the grounds that anything in writing is distracting (because we want to read it). Aug 5th
5 Aug 24 Comment Beautiful capture. I guess you were quite close and this has created a lovely soft background while the bird is sharp. It looks great. I like Sophia's comment about retaining the original saturation in the background and feeder. Aug 5th
5 Aug 24 Reply Thanks Sophia, good idea!! Aug 5th
5 Aug 24 Reply Thanks Jim, Sorry I did not say that this is just a very small part of a larger structure. Maybe the frame covers a couple of feet but now you mention it, could actually be a large scale structure. Aug 5th
