10 Sep 24 Reply Good idea Mark. I'll give that a go. Sep 20th
10 Sep 24 Comment Great sky and interesting tower with rolling hills behind Peter. Well seen.
I like the haze on the hills which make the sky and the tower the stars of the show.
On my monitor (callibrated), the sky is lavender rather than blue. It may have been that colour - I know skies can be amazing and varied colours - but if it was actually blue, then you may want to adjust it (or perhaps I need to adjust my monitor:)
Nice work.

10 Sep 24 Comment Gorgeous Diana. Such crispness in the wings and the flower head with excellent colour vibrance.
If it were me, I would try cropping from the top to a 1:1 aspect ratio or thereabouts to make the subject more dominant and give greater impact to the dragonfly. The background is blurred nicely and I think it will handle it well.

10 Sep 24 Comment What a beautiful view Rich. Canada is on my 'to visit' list and this just confirms its placement.
The clouds are interesting, the mountain peaks are well lit with the sweeping green in front.
If I were to change anything, it would be to lighten the trees in the foreground just slightly and crop a small slice from the right of the image to just left of the first white tree trunk.
Nice work.

10 Sep 24 Comment Whatever the original image is, the warped version is an interesting abstract and quite psychedelic Doug. The colours on black background are attractive to the viewer.
Keep on playing.

10 Sep 24 Comment What a fabulous experience Donna and an excellent capture in the fleeting moment.
I wonder if a small crop on the left of the image to remove the zebra rump that has no visible body attached would enhance it slightly. And given your considerable Photoshop skills, blurring the background would lift the image I think, giving you a striking image by which to remember the experience.

37 Sep 24 Comment Hello Homer.
I really like Homer's head colour Napoleon. Very vibrant and attractive to the lady birds I'm sure. I can definitely see the catchlights of the Octobox although I've never used one and it does highlight the eyes well.
I think it would make a positive difference if both sides of his head feathers were sharp along with the eyes. After that you can choose whether or not you want the body sharp as well depending on what you want to achieve.

37 Sep 24 Comment So atmospheric Howard. It took me straight to Venice with the background buildings, the red market canopies in front of them and the capture of a well placed gondola and gondolier in the right foreground.
If there were anything I would try to do, it is to remove the pole in the front right and the nose of the boat to the right of that. Lightroom may struggle with doing that well but Photoshop generative refill does amazing things in these situations.
A striking shot of Venice.

37 Sep 24 Comment I'm intrigued by a woman holding a basketball and wearing a tiara. I have not seen that before and it makes me wonder what the story is or could be (other than it's a set up shot).
Her facial features are clear and you have captured her look of surprise.
The lighting is very much like a music stage setup where the bright coloured lights come from various directions and the photographer can only choose where they stand, not where the lights are placed.
Nicely done in the circumstances.

37 Sep 24 Comment Excellent action shot Delian, not just mum somersaulting into the pool, but the smile on her son's face.
I guess you already know that a faster shutter speed would have prevented the leg blur on your niece which here I think, would enhance the image. It can be difficult to have all settings ready for an unstaged action shot though.
A fabulous capture of a family moment.

37 Sep 24 Comment Great positioning of each aircraft Peter. The centre top plan is in the sharpest focus.
Maybe try a slight crop from each side to tighten the composition and focus on the planes even more.
The vapour trails give context and make for a great composition.
