I see what you're saying. Ideally, I should have put the sun over her left shoulder. She then would be looking more directly at the sunset. |

Thanks Mervyn. I think I agree with you. I had burned a couple of spots out of the lower left, but not everything. |

You are always pushing out of the box. This is a good example of making lemonaid from lemons. As you and Jose suggest, the original is rather bland, but you found a way to add some interest and excitement. I like Jose's comment about the aurora. My first thought was lightning. Dynamic in either case. I think the red excavator grounds the image in some reality. I might have put a little more distortion on the multi-story building on the left. |

Because of the black background, the bottom of the original posted image looks more like my revised edit. I should probably use a stroke when I submit images with dark areas along the edges. |

Jose, Thanks for your comments. I see what you're saying about the dark area. I tried cropping up as you did, but not quite as far. I like that her feet are implied standing on solid ground although I think your crop works too. I cut some off the top as well since there is little information in the darker clouds. This still leaves the horizon at about the same point which doesn't bother me much. The woman was just standing looking at the sunset. I didn't know her and had to move left and right, up and down as she moved to get the sun where I wanted. |

The boardwalk leads me into the image and the arches of the trees keep me there. I like the contrast of texture in the boardwalk and smoothness of the water. The gentle reflection is interesting and the colors compliment well. Only a very minor comment in my opinion I would darken, clone or crop the bright spot between the trees and reeds on the left edge |

Very nice image. I've fought with macro / focus stack outside and I understand what you had to do. And, you made a great recovery. This image reminds me of a marine animal that most people probably have never seen, a Nudibranch, this one about the size of your little finger. |

Sorry, I'm thinking there may be two images that can be extracted from this image. The three birds at the top right and the two bottom left. |

Every time I see a photo of the blue footed boobies, I remember the smell near their nesting areas, so this takes me back. There's a lot of action in this image although I wonder if there is two images here ? |

I think you had to reconstruct the foot or skip this image (although without the foot and keeping the background people I think it works for documentary) The woman in the middle makes the photo for me. I'm asking myself if she's simply talking to the woman to her right or giving the photographer the evil eye (or both) Good exposure captures detail from whites to blacks |

This image takes me to a place I've never visited and it takes me into the relation between the two subjects. I think eliminating the woman was a good choice. I'd probably clone out the remnant on the white bag. Also, without downloading the image it looks to me to be somewhat noisy. If so, it might benefit from a pass through a noise reduction module. |
