32 Jan 26 Comment An interesting image for sure. I might have cropped it so that the stuff at the top isn't so distracting and I might have lightened up just the statue. Jan 18th
32 Jan 26 Comment Nice composition. However, I can still see artifacts from the hanging tree limb that you removed and I think your image is a little dark. I edited you original color image and this is what I cam up with, including removing the hanging branch. Jan 18th
32 Jan 26 Reply I think you may have taken to sharpening a little too far. Jan 18th
32 Jan 26 Comment This is very nice. I really like how you preserved the detail of the hair on the ear. I think Tom's version is over sharpened. Jan 18th
32 Jan 26 Comment Nice layering and depth to this image. I also really like the far distant trees in the background. The only think I would suggest is that there isn't a distinct subject, but that's OK because your image seems to be more about textures and light vs. dark. I like it! Jan 18th
32 Jan 26 Reply I made the barn in the background slightly softer focus than the truck to add depth. Shadows are always the biggest problem in composite images like this. It's the best way to identify fakes in general. Jan 18th

32 Jan 26 Comment I really like your image. I can't make any suggestions other than maybe if you had a little less of a close crop and added a little vignette to the image. Jan 18th

78 Jan 26 Comment No one noticed the windows on the barn. I replaced the OSB plywood with wood from the doors on the lower right of the original barn photo. That is a third composited aspect of this image. Similar to how I replaced the roof on a barn I submitted back in the Summer. Jan 18th
78 Jan 26 Reply Making composite (fake) images like this is actually hard. The two photographs, although a year apart, were made at about the same time on the same date under similar lighting and from the same aspect in relation to the sun. This makes all the difference when trying to do this sort of thing. Jan 18th
78 Jan 26 Reply Thanks! Jan 18th
78 Jan 26 Reply Yeah, it's just art - shapes, textures, colors, ect. except there's no color in this one. Jan 18th
78 Jan 26 Comment This is a nice image. I brightened and increased the clarity of the face especially the area around the eye. I also cut back a bit of the shadow on the wing. I like the crop of your second version above better also. Jan 18th
78 Jan 26 Reply Thanks for the feedback. I no longer concern myself with PSA's rules and I no longer enter images into PSA competitions. That said I rarely use AI features that generate images. I did in this photograph just to add some grass and weeds to the lower left. Jan 12th
78 Jan 26 Reply It's just art, I'm not pretending to be a photo journalist and I'm not passing it off as real. Jan 12th
78 Jan 26 Comment I've shot snow flakes before and it's really hard. The biggest problem is freezing your butt off (and your fingers). You did a great job. I've used black fabric which might work better for you. Jan 12th
78 Jan 26 Comment Nice shot. I like how you faded out the out of focus flowers in the foreground. I really don't have any suggestions for you. Jan 12th
78 Jan 26 Comment I don't do bird photography and watching people show bird photos at club meetings puts me to sleep, but this is really interesting. Good job on this one! Jan 12th
78 Jan 26 Comment Wow! What an interesting image. I really don't have any suggestions. Jan 12th
78 Jan 26 Comment A very nice image. I would darken or remove the plastic bag hanging behind the man and I would remove the silver wire running along the bottom of the lower left. Also the picture frame is a distraction. Jan 12th
