25 Oct 22 Comment Nice graphic in shapes, light and shadow. I also like how the dark floor and window lines draw the eye through the photo. I played a little with the image and used a burn tool to work on shadows only and burned down the lines to accentuate them. I also pulled back a little on the brightness values of the window. Although this is subjective, I actually pulled back a little on the texture of the walls, although one could decide to add texture overall, depending on what you want. I also did a little dodging of the highlights in the floor to bring out contrast there. Lastly, I used a skew tool to straighten out the left wall and column as Eric mentioned. Let me know what you think! Oct 21st
25 Oct 22 Reply One of the most important tools for me in photography is the tripod. Good glass with a nice camera is secondary. A tripod can be with you your whole career, so I make sure mine is stable when shooting at night. Fortunately there was no wind, but if there were, I would have the tripod as short as I could comfortably shoot. Oct 21st
25 Oct 22 Comment What a nice opportunity to have the butterfly land for you to capture. The original is also a nice composition, so cropping gave you another opportunity to share. Very nice share. Oct 21st
25 Oct 22 Comment My first impression was visualizing that the black areas below the caterpillar were locations it had been eating on...thinking it was some kind of leaf. I enjoy the angled feel. Oct 21st

25 Oct 22 Comment Wonderful graphic image with nicely handled shadows and highlights. It is amazing what those tiny sensors and built-in AI can do nowadays. Must be a nice Dr. office! Oct 19th
25 Oct 22 Comment I enjoy the glow at the back of the flower's center, along with the red veins within the purple petals. I agree with Eric about the background being just a bit darker. Oct 19th
25 Oct 22 Comment Good call Eric on the two different ISO's. the sky is shot at 3200 and foreground at 1600, which was shot earlier when there was still twilight on the landscape. In processing the sky image at 3200, the foreground was quite bright from the adjacent cabin, with its lights on. I went back in to the blend file and added some of the lighted foreground with a brush tool on the mask, then did a 2nd blend, with slight increase in foreground light (I didn't want to go too far with it).
