David - nice job with the edits. The final did produced the feeling you wanted to convey. |

Thanks for the masking comment. I missed the dark area of toes on left after applying the vignette. |

I thought Wow when I first saw this image. What edits did you do in phone or otherwise? The combination of high buildings reaching into the sky and clouds above make for a very dramatic shot. To me, this was made for black and white, especially because of the gray cloudy day. The only thing I would do is make a second image that crops the fountain out at the bottom. This version would put all attention on the buildings and sky and not be about 9/11. Two different photos from one image. Here's my quick edited photo of my suggestion. |

The colors in your sunset are good. I notice that first before moving to the clouds. I like the trees silhouetted against the sky. But, it seems the cloud area, between the right and left trees in your image, has been worked on and needs a little touching up. I don't think it's the clouds, but you would know for sure. Other than that, I might suggest trying an image version that crops a good portion of the blue sky out and brings up the shadows in the land and river bank. That would highlight the colorful part of your sunset which I believe is your subject and also give some detail to the land. I did a quick example to show my suggestions. |

This is a great image. The processing was involved , but to me, worth every minute you spent. The focus stacking made the flowers tack sharp. The background figure is highlighted just enough, but not too much to take away from the subject flowers. This was made for black and white and you did a nice job with Silver Effects. Not much else to say except you may want to hang this on a wall. |

Very Nice. The image turned out well using the new process. I like the softness and colors. I do find areas of the image where the edges of flowers blend into the textured background making it hard to define flower edges as colors of flowers and background are similar. It appears you masked the top and left flowers at least from some of the texture's effect. You might try feathering the mask edge more to create a smoother transition; or you might see what a slight color change to the texture might do to contrast the edges more. |

Cell phone night shots I have had trouble with getting them sharp. I've gone to leaning against walls or steadying the camera phone on a railing or something to help cut motion blur like in your photo. The fireworks are your subject but I find the smoke trails interesting as well. |

When I first looked at your photo I thought it was a ship leaving a grain elevator. Your explanation comments and two photos told the actual story. I like the way the ship, its direction, and the bulkhead create leading lines drawing my eye to the background detail on the right. My photo is a suggestion to try straightening up the right bridge support. To me it's distracting. |
