I took a Photoshop class about 15 or so years ago. It was really much more than I needed so I became an Elements user and that served me well until I got a new computer and couldn't move Elements to the new one. Since I do most of my editing on my iPad, I've been getting by with the free Lightroom (although wishing I had some of the paid features) and Snapseed. I guess now is the time to upgrade to something more serious. |

I actually took a PhotoShop class in 2009 and remember how complicated it seemed.
And totally agree that doing any work on a small screen is way too difficult. But my iPad is 11 inches and I don't think I'd get a notebook computer much larger. But I will definitely consider getting Lightroom on my desktop PC knowing that that will come with the mobile version. Thanks. |

I love street photography and I love that you thought out where to sit to capture the image that you were looking for.
I like your crop since it forces the viewer to see that both the image in the window and the walker are both "looking at you." And that is the point of this photo! |

Really stunning image and the monochrome definitely works. Any color would be a distraction. The clouds are distinct and patterns in the snow are very sharp. |

Wow, Shirley, you really caught the action! The first thing I noticed before even reading your description was that all the horses hooves were in the air!
I think I agree with the group that the edition of the clouds in the sky improves the image even though I love the contrast of the bright blue sky. If I were to crop further, I'd make sure to maintain the tops of the tents since that can be done while still eliminating the sky. |

I prefer the cropped version because I love the look of intent on the gull's face! What an expression!
I find the horizon line on the original a little distracting. I'm not sophisticated enough to replace the background on that shot... but in my vision, I'd replace that background and then crop in maintaining the wing span, just to see how that looks. |

I'm chuckling about striking the fear in the heart of anyone who has lost a french fry or popcorn - or an ice cream cone - to a seagull! That describes this photo perfectly! |

Thanks, Jim. I thought one of my favorite photos from that shoot was going to be the one that conveyed action, but yes, you're right, it's the story that this one portrays that I like.
Do you have any knowledge of Lightroom for iPad? Like is it worth the money or does it make more sense to get Lightroom for my PC... which sits on my desk and limits when I can do editing. |

Thanks, Martin. I really like the cropped portrait as it really highlights the brown horse's eye which as you know is my favorite part of the photo! Thanks for suggesting it. It's a totally different type of photo but it captures what I love most about the photo.
And yes, Piers, makes for a totally different type of photo. I really like both levels of cropping.
And no, I have no idea anything about horses - other than they are beautiful animals to watch. I'm a city girl, through and through. |

Thanks, Piers. I do like your cropping and I hadn't even noticed that pesky spot! Good catch.
I rarely sit at my desktop and I don't have a laptop, just an iPad. Do you know anything about Lightroom Mobile? I'm using the free version but would consider upgrading to the paid version if I heard from someone familiar with it. (I will admit to looking at laptops while at Costco today - but don't really want another device!) |

Thanks, Shirley. Most in my group use Photoshop or Lightroom and I probably should get on board. In fact, they're having a post-processing class this weekend BUT I don't have a laptop! I use free Lightroom on my iPad, but am considering at least paying for the mobile version and see how I do with that. If anyone here thinks that's not worth the money - that I'm better off getting Lightroom for my PC - please let me know. |
