12 Apr 25 Comment Bunny and Carole, agreed it does stand out much more. Thank you! Apr 29th
12 Apr 25 Reply Thanks Carole. As I told Bunny I'm going to play with this a bit more and I will try your tip about picking a green color and toning the image. I don't do that a lot in Photoshop and it will be a good exercise for me. Sorry for the late responses; Reed's workshop was all-consuming and I'm just now getting back on top of things. Apr 21st
12 Apr 25 Reply Good catch on the red, and you are right about the yellow, although it looked green to me - I guess because I knew it was green in reality but the light changed the color. I took it into Lightroom and was unable to come up with anything I liked as much as the original, although I'm going to play with it a bit more. Thanks for the insights. Apr 21st
12 Apr 25 Reply Thanks Connie, I agree that darkening the background is an improvement, although I think I would leave enough of it showing so you could still make out the shapes. Apr 21st
12 Apr 25 Comment This is a great image, it feels like you were right in front of him. Your timing in capturing his expression was spot on. I agree generally with the comments about increasing contrast between him and the background, although I would avoid making the background so dark that you lose the context. Apr 21st
12 Apr 25 Comment This is the kind of photo I know I need to get better at - set up your scene and wait for something to happen. Nice capture, especially that horizontal bolt of lightning. It takes your eye through the entire photo. I might try flipping it horizontally so you have the vertical bolt on the left, then the viewer's eye would travel from left to right across the photo which I have been told is more natural since we read from left to right. The colors in this really work for the subject. Apr 21st
12 Apr 25 Comment Bunny, sorry for the tardy comments - I've been on an all-consuming photo workshop but I'm finally starting to get caught up. I love this! Given the content, purple feels so much more appropriate than black and white. The background, your instructor and his reflection in it all work. I actually like the negative space to the right, given the way he's jumping it feels right to me. Apr 21st
12 Apr 25 Comment Perfect subject for this, Carole. Isn't it amazing how blue they really are? And the hazy layers are lovely.

Only one suggestion - I would consider taking the branches out completely. They don't really add anything to the photo, and because they are so much darker than the mountains they draw my eye.

12 Apr 25 Comment This is great Ally - both the original and the black and white are monochromatic, and your decision to convert to black and white was a good one. I also like the way you let focus get blurry toward the edges; that adds to the feeling of outer space. Apr 3rd
