26 Aug 18 Reply I didn't notice the reflection on the window, and the paint that's behind it, until Belinda pointed it out. I can try to tone down the highlights and see if I can recover the image behind the glass. Here is the picture of the same house, taken a day before, which shows the "intriguing" picture. Aug 19th
26 Aug 18 Comment A pleasant scene very well captured! Everything works for me here in terms of composition. The lilies in the foreground, the reflection of the clouds in the water, and the bridge at the end. I have some problems with the post-processing, since some colors (particularly in the clouds) do not look natural. Perhaps less post-processing could help. Two issues that can be solved through cloning: one is the white streak (a jet trail?) connecting two clouds; the other is the white sign on the bridge, if you want to keep it at least delete its reflection on the water. ‒ Aug 19th
26 Aug 18 Comment The concept is very clever, and the mixture of the square geometric forms of the windows with the S of the fire scape is very powerful. I think, however, that you have still some room to improve the perspective and make it perfectly straight. One option is to distort the picture widening the top and narrowing the bottom until you get everything aligned. In the process, you'll get some empty space at the bottom right, but then you can clone some bricks from the top of the near window. Have you cloned the window at the bottom right (also part of the two on top of it)? If so, something is not quite in place at its bottom left; and on the top of the lower glass the dark spot (a light?) is repeated.

26 Aug 18 Comment I love the structure, I love the light coming through the window, and I love her pose. What I don't like are the two men taking her picture. It will be some work, but if you manage to clone them out (including their shadows) you would get a much stronger picture. I would also tone down the blue of the sky (it looks a little artificial) and eliminate the halos noticed by Bob. There is also a white stripe going down from the right window to the floor; even if it's natural, I would eliminate or darken it. Aug 19th
26 Aug 18 Comment I like the picture as it is, with the leading line of the fence bringing me to the barn. I wouldn't change anything in terms of composition, but I would try to give even more pump to the red of the barn, and to darken a little the grass in the background.

26 Aug 18 Comment Excellent composite! You got a very appealing foreground to anchor the picture, and the fireworks all over the top part of the photo as the main point of interest. The fireworks look realistic to me, and even if I had suspected some multiple exposure, it doesn't show in the final frame. The reflections on the water (part from the buildings, part from the fireworks) lend and extra appeal. Since you have gone through so much work to get this result, I would go a step further and clone the white sign on the structure at the bottom left. I would even clone the metallic stripes holding the sign. Also, I would get rid of the white stripes running onto the structure. Aug 19th
