26 May 21 Reply Bob made me aware that he mistakenly posted the original photo. Therefore, my comments on the cropping and the opening up the sand were already incorporated in the final version. May 10th
26 May 21 Comment Definitely a very original image. I like it, and I don't have anything to recommend on how to improve it. May 9th
26 May 21 Comment Wonderful composition and colors! The ice is on the right spot, dominating the scene and capturing the attention of the viewer. The several other chunks of ice scattered on the sand and the two on the water act as additional anchors. Maybe I would open up a little the shadows on the sand, to make the ice more visible. What I definitively would do, is to crop around 1/5 from the top, so the bright streaks in the clouds touch the top; you don't need so much dark space there. May 9th
26 May 21 Comment I like how you managed to convert a static sculpture into a dynamic picture: first the diagonal composition, and then the use of the Nausea(!?) and Glory presets. What I had done different is not to use these filters on the sculpture, so the body (or at least the upper body) is as sharp as the head. May 9th
26 May 21 Comment I like the diagonal coming down from the top right; that's what makes the image. It is good that the pier's columns are dark but still visible. The color of the sky is very appealing and complementary to the orange of the lights. I assume that the moving boat is the thin white streak in the center of the picture: it doesn't bother me. What I don't find interesting is the 1/4 left of the picture: there is a light beam, but too dark to make a counterweight to the pier. I would suggest cropping from the left until very close to the building at the end of the pier. May 9th
26 May 21 Comment Composition and feeling are wonderful. As you said, it's interesting to see the difference in colors in the siblings (I assume the black one will become yellow), and you placed them in the perfect spot, with space to swim and the ripples in the water providing motion. Apparently, you cannot remove the blue reflections if you want to submit the image for nature competition, but I wouldn't remove them even if I could. May 9th
26 May 21 Comment I cannot stop admiring your post-processing skills. Had I started with the same original, I would have given up without a second thought. But you got a picture full of vibrant colors. Having said that, I find the picture a little too busy. I have the yellow ropes (and the green net at the bottom) to somehow anchor my interest, but I still miss a focal point. May 9th
26 May 21 Reply I have other shots with a natural green background provided by the leaves; but I wanted to share this non-conventional approach. Here, I prefer to keep the tension.
Also, thank you for correcting my mistake in identifying the flower!		 May 9th
