It's fun to play with the various photo-painting effects. I think you did a really good job on this. You might try a very light touch of painting on the blue feathers on the top of its head. You want the head to stand out from the feathers, not blend in. I agree with the 1/3 position. The feathers are so much more interesting than the body. The vignette is very subtle which is good. I really like the original. |

Since it sounds like you were drawn to the reflections, you might crop a bit above the white tower to the left. That would bring the focus to the beautiful reflection. A Remove tool or cloning would take care of the merge of one tree at the bottom. Color correction for the blue in the background would make the whole image more cohesive. It's a beautiful scene. |

It looks like a red space ship. I imagine it was hard to shoot to get the angle and lighting just right. You might try Generative Fill to eliminate some distracting details. Or, darken everything around the Citroen to make it stand out even more. The red color and shine really give the image punch. |

P.S. I think the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels perform similar acrobatics. Very exciting! |

The Blue Angels have performed here in San Diego and those fast-moving jets are really hard to capture clearly. Your shutter speed seems to be just right for the stop action. The crop is perfect as it gives room for each of the jets to fly into. The smoke and white trails create a sense of motion. I can almost hear the engines roaring. |

Since there wasn't much going on with the balloons, you created a fun image by including the sign. I might have tried for a bit more vibrance and contrast on the balloons. Do you have any other shots that include the sky with the checkered balloon? This could be on one of their advertising flyers! |

What a vivid image! The sky is so pretty and you enhanced the colors just enough. The lights in the buildings give it energy. I wonder if the center group of buildings should be a bit lighter than the edge ones to direct your eye to that area.

I was concerned that I created an overly-dramatic (too dark) image. Thanks to the feedbacks, I'll work on lightening it. |

That's true - no center of interest - just the clouds. I left the "telephone poles" in for perspective. I love Topaz AI Clear. It sharpens and clarifies. There's a touch of High Pass, also.
Thanks for your comments. |
