26 May 25 Comment Welcome to the group! I like the composition and the muted tones. The out of focus background is not distracting and complement the main subject. However, I would have preferred the front flower to be tack sharp. Also, the right twig should be sharper. I would get rid of the twig on the top right corner, since it's distracting. May 28th
26 May 25 Reply I tried, and it's better without the trees. Thanks! May 7th
26 May 25 Reply Much better. May 6th
26 May 25 Comment It's remarkable that the flowers were removed just the day after you took the picture (speaking of timing!). I like the composition and the mood you want to communicate. But I think that the original (more muted) conveys this feeling better than the post-processed image. For my taste, the post-processed photo has too much contrast. I think that you can get rid of the reflections (and some other imperfections) in the original just cloning/darkening the affected areas.

26 May 25 Comment You are right, the picture has a European feel. Interesting composition, with the bridge bringing the viewer from the bottom left to the building at the center of the picture and the dome (a church?) on the right. Colors are good, with the sky and the water still blue (instead of black). In terms of comments, I would have liked a little more space at the top, so the lamps at the start of the bridge are not cut off. Funny that, with a 25-second exposure, you had to blur the water to add motion. May 5th
26 May 25 Comment I like your point of view, which gives me a sense of the height of the bridge. Including the circular structure on the lower left is a plus. In a way, it balances the rock with the buildings on the right. You found a good contrast between the yellow of the train and the blue of the sky. I have one question. Did you try to use a slower shutter speed to get some movement in the train? May 5th
26 May 25 Comment I don't have much to add to this beautiful photo. You captured the mother at the precise moment when she is feeding her chicks. The colors are outstanding. I like the reflections but wonder whether cropping from the bottom (and eliminating them) wouldn't render a better (not so square) composition (see one option) May 5th
26 May 25 Comment You are right that the structure contains very interesting elements. However, even with your post-processing, I don't find enough separation between them in the B&W version. Except for the dome, I don't think that there are other elements that attract the viewer's eye. Since you already have the complementary colors blue and orange/brown, have you tried to heavily pop-up the earth tones of the construction against the sky? May 5th
