26 Apr 20 Comment I'm not particularly fond of creative filters, but in this case they worked. You managed to get the right amount of them, and I still see some natural rendition of the leaves. I wouldn't change anything regarding composition, but as others have suggested I would darken some of the leaves to avoid distractions from the main element.

26 Apr 20 Comment I like the S-curve achieved with the flowers, which brings my eyes to the bench. Like Mervyn and Bob, I also prefer the color original; or much more contrast in the B&W version. Cropping from the top you can get rid of the house and leave only two elements: the flowers and the bench; which would make for a stronger composition. I would also clone out the bunch of flowers to the left of the bench and close to the bush. Apr 6th
26 Apr 20 Comment Definitely, the B&W conversion brings the original to a higher level. It is an excellent photo that tells a story and, somehow, as soon as I saw it, I thought of Soweto. The two people are perfectly placed in the frame and you got a very good contrast in the B&W photo. No need to change anything. Apr 6th
26 Apr 20 Comment I wouldn't say that the face of the boy is "reasonably sharp," it is tack sharp! You captured the action very well, and the panning makes it a dynamic shot. Nothing needs to be improved in terms of composition or exposure. The one thing I noticed is a halo below his head and around his shoulder, maybe too much sharpening? With some extra work you can get rid of it. Apr 6th
26 Apr 20 Comment I'm surprised at how clean and crisp the copy of the slide is; I don't get such good results when scanning. I like the picture a lot, in particular the color contrast between the balloons and the background, and the reflections on the water. I prefer to have the house dark, as it is, rather than competing with the main subjects. I wish the second balloon would be in the air, but this is too much to ask. Apr 6th
