Thanks Larry for your suggestions which I find do improve things. I d not have Vibrance on my Photoshop CS3. Is saturation at all comparable? Thanks also to Terry for her compliments. |

Yvonne: Welcome to our little group! I like your 3-leaf sort of abstract composition. Yours makes an interesting contrast with the hard edges of Terry's architectural composition. I agree with the idea of flipping it, thus putting the larger and visually "heavier" leaf to act as a base on the bottom. The colors are really intense. I wonder about reducing their saturation a bit. I am glad these "leaves of three" are not the ones i try to avoid--namely, poison ivy. |

This is my favorite kind of photo--an abstraction of a real building, part of building or object (plant) that yet is clearly recognizable. You have done beautifully with it. I have never seen this building, yet the elements you have shown are works of art in themselves. The only change I might try is a slight increase in contrast such that the grays you ask about are closer to white. I find the large crossbeams in the foreground add a layer of complexity that might distract the viewer from the curved windows and balcony in the background. Is there any place tho photographer might stand to omit them? Cloning them out might be too difficult. Thanks to "David from another group" for his comment. |

A lovely seascape. But I think you have two pictures here, each of which is strong enough to stand on its own. On the left is a portrait-oriented stunning cloud formation. On the right is the lighthouse in landscape orientation. The top of the lighthouse is almost framed by an interesting cloud formation overshadowed by the brighter clouds on the left in the original. Once cropped into 2 images, I would increase the contrast or otherwise enhance those clouds. Finally, I find the very bright white hut-like structure at the waterline to the right of the lighthouse distracting and would clone it out. |

I understand the problems of grab shots--for many of mine I see something ephemeral that I like and go "click" and then try to deal with the consequences. That said, I think with your vast computer skills and a little patience, you could extend the "canvas" on each side and clone in the mottled gray background. Of course the partially missing ear on the left would be a challenge. But I think this portrait is worth the work. Although I don't think I know anything about him you have indeed caught his spirit. He looks like he has a great sense of humor & maybe he does have one up on you. Has he inherited photographic skill from you and his mom? |
