Thanks for your suggestions Donna.
Cropping the bottom is the easy option but I did want to keep the seaweed balls in the frame.
If I'd stepped back I'd have had a large pile of messy and unattractive seaweed.
I'll try an adjustment layer. Not my forte but I can certainly use the practice for this technique. |

The close-up is very interesting Doug and exceptionally clear. Great work with the bracketing and then stacking.
I'm inclined to your wife's point of view - it IS interesting but needs something added to keep the viewer engaged. Maybe a cigarette jutting from one corner to give a clue as to what the image is showing.
I hope we see some more of your bracketing/stacking work in the future. |

An excellent shot Mark and I like that you have made the background black and white. Thanks for telling us how you did it too.
The B&W background ensures our attention is drawn to the main subject with its bright colours. The balloon is clearly focussed, especially on the right nearest the camera.
I might consider cropping in from the left a bit to even up the space on each side of the balloon but overall an excellent image. |

What a good opportunity to practice portrait photography Donna.
Firstly, I have done very little portraiture so my comments are those of a lay person.
It sometimes surprises me how natural light can be all you need for such images and how beautiful it can be.
It was wise to remove the white pole, providing a consistent background which doesn't distract from your gorgeous subject.
I would consider toning down the gleam on the face (including the ear but excluding the lips) just a tiny bit. Keep the gleam on the lips because it works so well with the red trim on your model's top.
You have focussed well on her eyes and have a catchlight in both of them. Nice work.
I like your main image best - in part because the gleam on the face is less then the second image. |
