Thanks, Mike, Those are some interesting ideas which might save the image. Looking at it closer I found a lot of broken pixels. Maybe if I go back to the original and dont bring up the shadows on the rocks so much I can avoid those.
As I recall you are ight about the wave action breaking behind very still water. That makes sense otherwise me.
Hope you had a good and productive trip. |

Thanks, Tom. The more I study this image the less I like it (as often happens). I too am curious about why I have the wave action in the foreground. I will have to do some research. I eventually cropped to a square and worked on the sky, which helped, but I don't think it is going on my wall. |

Thanks, Polly, I eventually cropped this to a square and added a red-orange layer to th esky then blended it in so ther appars to be a better sunset. After going through my images from the trip, I found some I liked better. I don't think this one is oging on the wall. |

You know...that is a really good question. I will have to do some research on long exposure to see what caused that effect. |

Thanks, Judith. I think you may be suggesting that I have lightened the sky and the water too much from the original underexposed image. I will try it and see what I think. |

To me the image is very contrasty...tough light to deal with. I think you have done a good job in post considering the conditions you are dealing with. I can't make up my mind whether I want to see the lion brightened a bit to reveal more texture and detail, or darkened to create a silhouette (although the latter might not work because the vegetation is so dark). Have you tried the new making in LR that would allow you to create separate masks for the water and the vegetation? |

This is an interesting image and I think presenting it in monochrome was a good choice. I am wondering about the identifcation though. I thought water bears were microscopic segmented creatures with eight legs. These look like little beetles to me, but who knows? I would suggest croping some form teh topo to leave only three of the rippples and create a more panoramic composition. |

Nice capture under very low light conditions. There must be have been at least a small ray of light coming from the right as you've got the catch light in the eye andn the detail on the feet. The subject is sharp. I feel that using the dodge tool in PS or selecting the subject in LR and increasing the exposure slightly would help separate the dark subject from the dark background. Try it and see what you think. |

Whoa! What an awesome photo op! If I understand you correctly, you shot this through a pane of glass. Well done in my opinion. The subject is in focus, th eyes are sharp and lifelike and the pose looks very natural. Too bad he was on the deck railing but we can't have everything. To me this image is a keeper. I wish something like that would look in my window. |

To me this image looks technically sharp and propoerly exposed. I think it has a clear nature story. In my opinion, it is somewhat oversaturated, plarticularly the sky. My suggestion would be to reduce both saturation and luminance of blue (maybe check to see if it is more cyan that blue...I can't tell), and dodge the face a bit to bring out some more detail. You were very observant...nice catch. |

I think the travertine terraces in Yellowstone make fascinating patterns. One could create many different compositions. The color plaette is pleasing and the exposure looks to me to be spot on. I am curious about your choice of aperture. The back portion of the scene is very soft. Stopping down the aperture so severely may have caused that due to defraction, i.e., causing light waves to bend. I like the abstract. I would suggest cropping it to a square eliminating the OOF section then trying to increase vibrance a bit. Might make a nice canvas, |
