20 Mar 24 Comment I like the Composite...nicely done. Each swan could also be part of a tryptic. I like Angela's suggestion of including a bit more of the snow. I might also consider cropping up on the water a tad. Mar 11th
20 Mar 24 Comment Lovely job. I like the addition of the bracelets. I love to stack flowers too. How does it look with the softer pink of the original? I have Topaz Studio 2, but am not familiar with the "Brilliant in Black" Look. What version do you have? Personally, I think the white lines of the texture distract from the beauty of the flowers. Would you consider leaving them on the bottom but removing some from the left side. Mar 11th
20 Mar 24 Comment Beautifully done. I might suggest removing the figure on the right. To me, he is a distraction to the main composition. Mar 11th
20 Mar 24 Comment Beautiful light and tones to set the mood. I too, would suggest that you move the gull a bit down and to the right.
It takes away from the moon this way. It has been hammered into me to patrol my borders...the dock on the right is a bit distracting. I would suggest removing it.

39 Mar 24 Reply Thank you, Paul. Do you think the fingers are too soft for competition? Mar 18th
39 Mar 24 Comment Thank you so much, Vincent. It was the emotion that drove me. Mar 14th
39 Mar 24 Reply Thanks, Jerry. Mar 14th
39 Mar 24 Reply Thanks, Kathryn. I see the softness of the fingers, but tried to sharpen them and didn't like the look. I did focus on the fence and the fingers poking through. Mar 14th
39 Mar 24 Comment It is fun to play with AI, but I still consider it a slippery slope. I am confused as to what the original photo looked like. Your conversion to Black and White works well. All the tones are good. I would like to see the top cropped down so there is no sky on the left. Also I would remove the cactus on the far right as we cannot see enough of it. One last suggestion, I would use the door without the gate as in #2. The gate seems a barricade to entering the photo.
Have you been playing a lot with AI? It is a philosophical question to me, is this Photography or has all Photography become Digital Art? Would love to have that discussion over a drink.

39 Mar 24 Comment You have done an excellent job of capturing the water going over the rocks. Because to me, that is the photo, I would crop down on the sky to just below the bird. I want my eye on the Falls, with the sky complementing it, not competing with it. I, also, don't think the bird is necessary, but this is your vision, not mine. Mar 14th
39 Mar 24 Comment Once again, the fruits of your wanders were rewarded. What a great capture. Something that gives you a lot to look at. My only suggestion would be to crop in on the right and up from the bottom to leave a narrow suggestion of the building. The light reflections do not distract me, but the 3 little white dots do. How about removing them? Love this photo!

39 Mar 24 Comment Great geometrics. When I look at it, I see triangles. Good eye. If you cropped in on the right and the left and up from the bottom a bit (as others have suggested), more emphasis would be on the black triangle. Also, the blown light in the front could just be removed. I think the eye would then go right through the columns and to the people. And to nit pick, I would remove the white sign on the black door on the left. Really minor suggestions for a great architectural photo. Mar 14th
39 Mar 24 Comment Wow! I think this is perfect. The texture of the rock contrasts with the Cat, but doesn't compete. The clear sky also sets him off. Good luck with your Camera Club. Mar 14th
39 Mar 24 Comment Wonderful lighting and tones. I like the low key look. Mar 14th
39 Mar 24 Reply I see what you mean. Mar 6th
39 Mar 24 Reply Thank you, Lance. I am well and hope you are too. I always enjoy when you "pop" in and I receive your input. Mar 6th
39 Mar 24 Reply Thanks, Dave. I did want soft focus for everything but the "fingers" and chain-link. Mar 6th
