22 Jan 18 Reply Of course the original will stay with four. Hopefully everyone is keeping their original images intact. One never knows if an image could be used in different ways with different processing. Jan 28th
22 Jan 18 Reply Thanks Jerry. I'll have to check the settings and see what I can do. Jan 18th
22 Jan 18 Reply I'm going to disagree with Jerry - I think cropping from the bottom would be better. Leave the trees. :) Jan 18th
22 Jan 18 Reply If I look closely, I think the "halo" is just the leaves that aren't quite as lit up creating the dark spots that look like it's haloed. Not much you can do with that. :) Jan 17th
22 Jan 18 Reply On Saturday, I was back at the PBR event and the usher told me I couldn't have my camera. I showed him the lens can't come off so he let me be. It's a Canon SX-50 with a zoom that's really nice. However, it has a slower shutter. I took video this time and might try to find a frame that I could pull out and work with. Jan 17th
22 Jan 18 Comment I also like the lines presented here. My first look at the image gave me the impression it tilted to the left. However, the big front tree is straight. I like the shadows and the lighting that created them. Overall, good job. Jan 17th
22 Jan 18 Comment I'm going to agree with Mike about the trees. I feel they take away from the horses. Although it's not as bad as some uses of even numbers, I think three horses would be better. My eye is going back and forth looking at all of them.

Overall, it's a very pleasing image though. Good work.		 Jan 16th
22 Jan 18 Reply I'm headed to the event here in Chicago over the weekend so I'm hoping to improve on some of my shots. Hard to get really good ones with a point and shoot but I keep trying. :) Jan 11th
22 Jan 18 Reply I like the idea you've presented though I think the bull is now lacking any detail. I'm going to play with this one again. Thanks. Jan 11th
22 Jan 18 Reply I feel the book does weight it to the left. Regarding Joe's comment about the tiles - I think it follows my comment that in the color version, the tiles are more harmonious with the piano - they blend into the background. In the BW version, there is the stark contrast between the white and black. Jan 11th
22 Jan 18 Comment It's such a cute llama portrait. I agree with Joe on the eyes. That is one thing that disturbed me because eyes often tell the story. Perhaps lighten and add some detail (or sharpening) - just to the eyes. I like the strand of grass in the mouth. I think it adds to the appeal of the portrait. Nice job. Jan 11th
22 Jan 18 Comment I agree with Mike - the perspective is great. When I looked at the color version in large view, I found the colors to be harmonious - the tiles go right along with the inside of the piano. I do think that notebook on the left adds a "heaviness" to the left side. I wonder what PS Content Aware would do in trying to remove it. It's a very interesting image - nice job! Jan 10th
22 Jan 18 Reply Next month Joe will replace the white background for our exercise in sky or background replacement...not that he hasn't already. :) Jan 9th
22 Jan 18 Reply I noticed that too and figured it was noise. However I wasn't able to reduce it any. Will work on it more. Maybe could clone it out. Jan 8th
22 Jan 18 Comment I'm going to disagree somewhat with Mike. I'll agree it's a beautiful shot. However, I feel there is a "halo" around the tree lights. It's present in the original though I felt it was more pronounced in the final image. It's probably just the leaves being lit up. I also thought the original was sharper in the building section. Maybe it's my old eyes. I feel the original shows more of a "street scene" image than the cropped version and so I wouldn't care if the stop signs were there - in fact, I hadn't really noticed them until I read the description. In the final, I'm a little more bothered by the part of the tree on the left than I am in the original. Perhaps removing that tree?

Overall, both versions are really good. You did a nice job with a difficult subject.		 Jan 3rd
