39 Nov 24 Reply A thin line around the edges can be added in Lightroom by using the Print module, and under Image Settings, check the Stroke Border and set the Width at 1-3. Then, under Print Job, set Print to: to JPEG File. Finally, click the Print to File button.

In Photoshop, click the menu item Select>All, then Edit>Stroke, set the Width to 1-5, and the color to white. Save the image. Let me know if you have questions.

39 Nov 24 Reply I agree, a little further back would provide more room for the subject. Nov 13th
39 Nov 24 Reply The chair is the focal point, but I tend to see everything. It's not a big issue, just a small adjustment if possible. Nov 13th
39 Nov 24 Reply I think that works better, it puts the emphasis where you intended. Nov 9th
39 Nov 24 Comment This has strong interest and impact, and the flow pulls the viewer in and through the image. The many tones and shades of white, gray, and black make it a great selection for conversion to B&W.

I am not sure if the drone was moving at the time of exposure or if the camera does not shoot sharp images, but the image overall appears more like a painting as everything appears smooth, including the mountains in the background. Except for the edges of ice in the foreground, nothing is sharp.

Still a strong image.

39 Nov 24 Comment An interesting subject that is a good candidate for monochrome.

The last thing I want is to be overly critical, in this case, I have several issues.

My main issue and my pet peeve with any image is focus, and I don't see anything in focus here. If you have a sharpening app like Topaz, maybe some of the focus could be corrected. The crop could have been wider, including more of the cows on both sides. Three of the cows can barely be seen, heads hidden. Maybe, waiting a bit, they would raise their heads so more than one can be seen. The shadows could be adjusted to bring out more from the black areas. A thin white stroke would make the image stand out more from the background, especially since the black cows pull the viewer out of the image. This is something we should all remember, including me.

I am sure that you saw something here that made you take the photo, it is just a matter of taking more time, if you have it, to get the image your eye saw. Let me know your thoughts.

39 Nov 24 Comment Very strong darks to light with shapes and lines that draw attention. It almost feels like it would work better as a vertical.

I might crop less from the right to include the full curve or blacken the right side corners as they tend to pull the eye.

39 Nov 24 Comment A strong composition with great lighting brings attention to the main elements of the chair and desk. The shadows and highlights provide dimension and depth. There is also a softness to the image which fits the subjects well.

The only thing I see is the cropping of the flowers, which I would prefer all in.

39 Nov 24 Comment There is good detail throughout. The leading line of the walkway works well to draw the viewer in. The sharp reflections of Sonny Boy in the water and the man next to Sonny Boy add to the story.

It is very busy, and I am not sure what to look at. My eye goes to the Sonny Boy, and the rest becomes distracting. I think cropping the right half off might work better.
