Thanks Linda -- I have been watching some YouTube edits with Lightroom and they love radiant masks and vignettes. This was my first attempt. |

HI Randy,
I like the photo quite a bit - and also Jim's addition of some color to rhododendron below the tree. The green adds a sign of life and is a nice treat in the midst of a somewhat gloomy winter scene.
The photo does an excellent job of depicting a serene, still, and silent winterscape - thank you! |

Your editing work is really outstanding in this photo. I can't say enough about enhancing the colors, blurring the background, correcting some verticals - really well done.
My only nit is that the right side felt a little lopsided so I tightened the crop a bit. (I know I'm an "over-cropper" so I apologize in advance for being too severe.)

The star of the show is the margarita with its salty rim and tart lime wedge - I really like the addition of some spilled salt and discarded lime. Adds a casual feel that says "summer".
I found the grass skirt and top (?) distracting just did a quick edit in Apple Photos and deleted them. Granted, now it looks like an ad for a cocktail…
Whenever I see a margarita I'm reminded of a meme that said, "Stop trying to make everyone happy - you're not tequila!" |

After reading your introduction, I zoomed in to examine what the characters in your photo were doing.
The young man in shorts looking in the doorway - perhaps back from a run or just walking on a warm evening, the three young men at the table many beer bottles two of the men looking at phones, the wedding scene on the TV, the group of women standing looking at another's phone, and the group on the right side seemingly engrossed in conversation. Really enjoyed the variety of connections and sharing life.
I kept going back to the walking figure on the left - in shorts - wondering if she's considering going in? Looking for people he knows? Mustering the courage to engage? Or just curious?
Wonderful image and questions!

So interesting! Bridges are one of the engineering/architectural wonders that never fail to fascinate me.
It looks like you straightened the left tower and also aligned the base of the bridge. Great changes and nice job enhancing the exposure.
Thank you! |

So much story to tell with these ships!
I was taken by the small craft that moved between the huge ships and the difference in scale. Also, the juxtaposition of the very modern architecture against the much older boats was fun to mentally explore.
Hope your trip is wonderful - look forward to seeing your images! |

Hi Barbara,
Two things: the color image is really beautiful -- the wide array of greens and grays is quite lovely. You did a great job with your composition.
I agreed with Jeff and played a bit with your image -- just in Apple Photos so nothing complicated. Just added a little more contrast and a vignette.
Thanks,
Doug |

Hi Albert,
This is truly a sinister photo -- it's dark, swirled, slightly blurred in appearance, and the struggling moon all contribute to a truly mysterious and somewhat nefarious feel. One wonders what secrets the sea is keeping.
Thank you! |

When I first looked at the photo I thought the white cord was actually a fold in an old photograph -- like it had been stashed in a book for years and years. Really like the feel and applaud the technique. |

Hi Jeff,
Your photo has the feel of a silver-etched photo. At first glance I wanted to darken it a bit or add some more contrast but after looking at it for a bit more I like that it forces concentration to see detail. The high key provides a cooling effect and accentuates the waterfall.
I think it's a really good choice for the photo -- thank you! |

Hi Ed,
I've been to the Wailing Wall a couple of times and was able to wander and explore on my own for about an hour each time. It's a fascinating place and regardless of one's religiosity it's hard to discount the sacredness and devotion one finds. There's also that strong sense of tension due to the disputed nature of the land.
I lightened the trees and removed the large dark area to the right - not a great job in Lightroom but gives the idea! |

Hi Robert -
I took a slightly different approach and just lightened the plinth as I really like the people in the foreground - gives scale and humanity to both the statue and St. Patrick's.
I happen to be in NYC today and might wander down and try a daytime shot!
Thanks! |
