This is beautiful. I have just begun playing with textures on my flowers so I can really appreciate the work that went into it, let alone lying on your back on what was probably wet ground. Well Done! |

I like those reflections there. For me they tend to act as a base for the pillars holding up the arch. Overall an excellent image |

This is a stunning image. Absolute street photography. I think the colors enhance the lovely smile on the girl's face. Sorry, Steve, I'm not quite as happy with the monochrome as I feel that it loses some of the happiness of the girl's expression as well as the spot of brightness in what appears to be a dismal exitence. |

This is a beautiful image. My only suggestion might be to crop off just a little from the bottom to bring the viewer further into the image.

Vella, I know that many administrators have been promoting visiting other groups, not only for inspiration for the visitors but also to pass on their own ideas and history. It does take time but I usually limit it to about 20 groups at a time and thoroughly appreciate the number of responses I get. |

Beautiful image in a beautiful city. If you can spare the time, don't miss the Ciudad Vieja in Barcelona. It's a recreation of an old city and will offer you some interesting photo ops. We've been there twice and although a bit touristy, a pleasant walk through history. |

I've done many images with this flower. In this case, I think I would have kept the original coloring as that purple is such an outstanding color. As to the texture question, there are several videos available on textures on Utube. I've seen a couple of excellent webinars..the best one I've seen is by Matt Koslowski. I'm think if you google him you'll get a link to his website. I wound up buying his videos and refer to him more than I ever thought I would. |

Your image is an excellent posed portrait. I would try to get him in an unposed moment or two while he is organizing his products, dealing with a customer, etc. I think that might provide the oomph you are looking for. |

Creating the image into a monochrome raised it up from a nice picture to an absolutely perfect monochrome. This kind of image brings me back to when I lived in New York and made several visits over the years to the Amish country. Well Done. |

Another option (I did not have the time to remove all the gray, but that would be the ideal) I went into Luminar which I've had for a while, and it took me more time to choose the sky I wanted than to complete the process. Just clicked on the sky I wanted and then clicked on apply and came up with this result. |

The bird is very well captured however, I personally would like to see a bit more in the background. So, I opened Luminar, and after looking at all the sky options I chose one that I thought was a bit more interesting that yours. What do you think? |

Great portrait. I, personally don't find the background attractive so, I took the liberty of making some changes. I first created a non-destructive layer mask. Changed the view on the layer to overlay and then did an inverse selection. I then chose the blur option in Photoshop and blurred the entire background and followed by toning it down a bit. Would appreciate your take on these adjustments. |

This is a well done image. However, to my eye, the supports on either side of the building seem to be leaning in toward the center a bit which makes me wonder if it was shot with a wide angle lens. You could attempt straightening it in photoshop. |

The image of the boulder is well done but is totally overshadowed by the vastness of the foreground. I've cropped it a little differently in my review and attempted to keep the panoramic effect. I wonder how you feel about that. |

I wish I knew more why these are called horse buddies and what they are used for. I do like the crop you made but would like to see more "oomph" in the image. As it stands now, for me it's a nice picture, but not one that I would consider entering in a competition. |

I, too, made a couple of adjustments. In Photoshop CC I selected the image and brightened. I then did in inverse selection and reduced the brightness of the wall to provide more contrast to the overall finish. As a finishing touch I increased the vibrance just a bit as well. |

LuAnn, I find that a sky can often be enhanced by the simple addition of a couple of clouds or maybe just a "tune up" of the existing sky. It is simply a matter of personal preference. I personally think that the sky that Bob Luminar used in his reply has a lot more oomph and enhances the photo. As I said, different strokes for different folks. |

This is a beautiful image with a lackluster sky. I was going to replace the sky in Luminar but after reading the previous notes, I see that has aleady been done very successfully.
I've been using Luminar for several months and it has saved many images for me. You might want to view their webinar for DD members on June 25 if you are not familiar with the program. |

My first look at this photo said, don't really need that big building on the left.l As I read the previous discussion, I realized that I didn't have to do the crop, it is already there and in my opinion a better finish. Overall well done; and, as always the final decision is yours. |

I love elephant images. For years I collected everything I could find in Elephant statues, place mats, tee shirts and everything else.
This is a lovely image but I would like to suggest that you remove the tree trunk on the right and then for change of view I converted it into a panorama removing a lot of the dead space in the trees and leaves in the background. Wonder what your thoughts are. |

This is an excellent street photo. I really don't see anywhere that I could suggest to improve this image as it tells the story that is intended. I'm not an attorney but I can't believe that there would be a legal issue on publishing a car parked on the street with a visible license plate. That would be another interesting issue for discussion. |

The subject of the photo is extremely well done. What I did in my feedback was select the two corners separately and in adjustments brightness toned them down so they were not too glaring. I honestly can't make up my mind if they're better or not so I'm looking forward to your reaction. |

I would have done two things with this in post processing. First I would have removed the large pole on the left and then cloned out the or cropped a bit tighter on the right to eliminate that angular line or pole on the upper right corner. In my feedback, I made those two changes and cropped a bit off the top to eliminate the square presentation which resulted from the crop. |

To me the most important part of this image is the sense of patriotism it portrays in these crazy times.
The obvious age of the stones, the color and the brightness of the flags standing waving slightly but still waving in what appears to be a dismal day, make this image as powerful as it is. |

What a powerful image. Tells a sad story of a fairly large population that probably will never be accounted for because of the lack of a permanent residence. I agree with the cropping suggestion |
