Not a problem. If I could have gotten down the hill, or into the water, I might have gotten a better angle and light.
Thank you! |

Thank you, Tony. Yes, that might lead the eye around much better. Will work on it! |

Great job of capturing the Tiger Swallowtail drinking. You got the catch light in the eye, too! I might try adding a bit more light through the wing area to draw attention to the beautiful designs. With the tip of flower cut at top, I'd try to expand the top to restore some of it. Only other thing would be clean up the bottom right area's slight shadow that may be remaining from edits ? and remove the pink in the corner. |

Hello and welcome Fatih! This is a fascinating image with a powerful story! I love the colors and details captured. The image speaks to so much about life (the path) and generational differences, but also life that many do not know and the joyful simplicity of little things in spite of hardships. It is impressive, grabs and holds attention, makes one stop, think. I agree with the suggestion to remove a bit of the drain pipe. It is a beautiful image. |

You will be smiling about this happy mistake a long time. It is interesting and makes a great abstract. It is very nice in B/W, looks electrified and no one could guess what it really is. The moral: always check the delete pile one last time before pushing the button! |

I was recently reading about this place! You have a perfect mirror image, and your corrected version opens up things. The light on the abbey is much nicer. There are tiny things I'd remove: in water, stick in foreground; and, the tiniest spot in the reflection on right at frame's edge. |

This is a beautiful composition. It had to be tricky with so much action. I agree that there seems to be noise in the image, but it can be fixed. Droplets in the V and on the right don't bother me. They appear natural as part of the splashing. The colors and designs in the water, and the graceful wings, are lovely. |

If this is a first mirrorless for you, I think you will love it. It's a great shot, and I would only remove the leaf at bottom right and crop the left. The out of focus flowers behind the bee are OK to me. A tip: with a toothpick, you can place a tiny drop of sugar water on a flower near the bee and they will stay longer. I've also found these bees lingering in one spot as they begin dying. They stay, holding on. You'd be disqualified from Nature for manipulating, but you could gently move the leaf or flower with the bee to where you prefer (they won't sting). |

You would need to understand the photo editing program and tools of Snapseed, created by NikSoftware. A specific tool selection is HDR Scape with a catalogue of choices with additional choices under each one, along with sliders to perfect. |

In short, no. I just start 'doing' and fiddling. I'm always trying things in Mirror Lab. I took the sea glass for colors and wanted a simple abstract. I kept adjusting the turbulence tool and at some point it resembled a cave and sunset colors. Me being me, I kept trying things. The ripples formed an underground river in my mind, and when I saw the sphere effect I was thinking: in spite of all the world's problems, the sun rises and sets, each day is a new beginning; and, so this became the place where each sunrise is created, floats up/sinks down dissolving, then dips into new colors for the next cycle. (LoL long answer) By-the-way, don't sell yourself so short, Tom! you are wonderfully creative! Have seen many of your great photos! |

Just a note, Pat-- I noticed your Group 56 image related to the vineyard. Interesting and nicely done! |

I see exactly the mood you are trying to achieve. Having the table between the rows of vines would have been great fun! I don't mind the slight distortion of table/chairs, but I see some ghosting around the image which maybe from imposing one over the other. I don't know the program, but did you try reversing the process you used? Maybe place the vineyard into the tent scene and see if it works better for you. |

Very pretty image. I love the lighting through the throats of the flowers! The colors directly behind the group seem a bit too bright to me, so I would adjust the lighting and saturation there. You could use Snapseed's Select tool for that. I also might add a vignette to help keep the eye drawn to flowers and away from background. You are lucky to grow these! |

You discovered Mirror Lab! Fun! This is beautiful and one needs to look carefully to see that it is not a single bloom but a magnificent kaleidoscope version. Nicely done! |

Beautiful! I love how you caught the reflections, but how you lined it up with the mast was very clever. You pulled the setting sun upwards as if to hang onto it a little longer. I agree that removing the bit of skiff and lines would be helpful. People are much more brave than I to walk the shore or go on a boat in those croc waters! |

I love the creativity of this. I'm not at all familiar with Photoshop programs but your edits rendered an interesting effect that seems 3D to me. It's a fun image! |
