26 Aug 19 Comment Very good contrast between the menacing clouds and the colors of the canyon. The rainbow is without doubt a plus. There was some post-processing to pop-up the canyon colors, and as you said a reduction of the bluish in the clouds. But all the colors look quite natural. I don't have anything to say to improve the picture. Aug 11th
26 Aug 19 Comment I like your post-processing, which renders a mysterious scene. The post-processed colors are right on the money, as well as the tighter final composition. I'm fine with all the flowers added through cloning, but I don't like the cloned piece of stone showing a little below the center. I see it and I automatically think of a snake. Either eliminate it, or give it a better appearance. Aug 11th
26 Aug 19 Comment Very interesting rendition through infrared. It is a nice composition, with the ducks (in particular the one taking off) complementing the whole scene. I agree that the bright trees need to be toned down (which you did), but I'm not so sure about the cropping from the top. A tighter crop emphasizes the bridge, but I do like the two triangles with the sky. Aug 11th
26 Aug 19 Comment Most of the comments I had were already expressed by other members, and you produced a revised version that I like much more than the original one. The major improvement was to eliminate the bland sky, and to let the reflections be the main subject. I agree with cloning out the branches at the bottom right. It is a serene scene, which is what you wanted to achieve. But the colors of the trees are not particularly appealing. Maybe you can go back in autumn and get more interesting reflections. Aug 11th
26 Aug 19 Comment You did an excellent job in post-processing and got something very unique out of a standard shot. I don't have anything to say regarding composition or colors. However, this is a little too much for my taste, since it doesn't look like a photo, even a heavily processed one. For instance, most of the strokes on the petals do not show in the original. But this is more a philosophical discussion than the appreciation of the final result, which is outstanding. Aug 11th
