9 Feb 26 Comment Thanks folks!

I have to admit that I just noticed the arc that Sabine corrected! Didn't realize it was off - don't know that I could have fixed it anyway.

9 Feb 26 Comment Hi Randy,

I played around somewhat and removed a few bare branches and shoots that distracted me, added a vignette, and tweaked some of the exposure and sharpness levels.

As a huge fan of fog - I really enjoyed your photo!

9 Feb 26 Comment Hi Jim,

I took a different approach by cropping the photo and also straightening the main tree so that the curved one looks subordinate.

Not at all sure it's an improvement but it's a different approach!

9 Feb 26 Comment Flower photography, IMHO, is hard!

I like Sabine's enhancement of the colors. When I first looked at the original, I wanted more green in the stem. Felt washed out a bit.

Thank you!

9 Feb 26 Comment I was in Cuba a few years ago and this reminds me of the homes I saw there. So interested in the textures you achieved. Well done! Feb 8th
9 Feb 26 Comment I know we're supposed to give ideas for improvement and/or suggestions for edits - but I've got nothing! The detail and technique is outstanding and you've created genuine art! Feb 8th

47 Feb 26 Reply I knelt down and aimed my camera at the base of the coffins and zoomed in tight.

I was intrigued by the way the two caskets framed another shape.

47 Feb 26 Comment Stunning portrait.

I played with a little more clean-up and really like Kirsti's suggestion of a vignette -- it would really enhance the focus on the subject.

47 Feb 26 Comment I don't know how to do it well but I wanted the lizard to differentiate from the rocks a bit more. Not necessarily with texture but perhaps just exposure.

I was also reminded of the "Godzilla" posters from 1954.

47 Feb 26 Comment Hi Kristi --

I really like the changes you made in creating the blue-tone negative.

The changes I made were to add some vitality to the blue and also re-cropped to add more emphasis on the angler and deleted one of the trees. It's cropped to exact thirds. Just playing.

Thanks!

47 Feb 26 Comment Hi Ed,

I tried a little different approach and cropped it tighter -- I found the shoreline to be a tad distracting -- and also the dark elements to the left of your subject. I also played with exposure and think you have it just right -- it washes out quickly.

47 Feb 26 Comment Hi Robert,

I really enjoy the majesty of your photo -- hard to imagine the grandeur of the scene.

My only attempt at editing was the increase the contrast in the layers -- keeping the forefront dark and boosting the white level more as they recede.
