Fine shot of a suddenly found excellent model.
I am thinking Shakespeare, maybe Macbeth or Richard III. |

I like Diana's variation and I like Ed's final version.
I did not say before that I liked the bare toes of the statue's feet. |

Yes, that is what I did, but not by your method. I used a method I am more familiar with. I selected the two bright areas and used the "darken highlights" control on just those areas. But I think you got a better result. Maybe I will study a bit more PS! |

I tried "darken highlights" overall. Did I do too much? |

Here is my shot at increasing the contrast. How does this look? |

Nothing much to add for me. There is no hint that this is a zoo shot. I like Som's final image. |

I like the overhanging cliff on the right. Perhaps it overhangs and shelters these small dwellings. I vote, if I may, for replacing the sky. |

I agree with Ed's suggestions.
I suggest cropping a sliver off of the right side so it is just as tight to the mane as on the left side. But maybe that might not work out. You could try it and see if it pleases you. |

Eyes, expression, great capture. And you made her hair so interesting with the increased contrast. |

Good subject, and you lightened it up well so this looks very good in monochrome.
Suggest darkening the bright slab on the right to the same dark shade as the dark stone on the left. Maybe a lower point of view might have worked for the statue, but that might not have yielded such a good background. |

Thank you, Ed, that is a good alternative crop. |

Fabulous shot. Nothing to suggest. But I was thinking of getting Topaz AI. Is it still available, and from where? |

I think you are on to something with this technique. It reminds me of the cubist movement in painting. If that is what you intend, by all means keep going for that, and try to fulfill the cubist concept of showing multiple views of the subject all at once. |

A stunning location and a good shot of the bridge. I also like the sunburst in the image. I have crossed it, and it was something to see.
Quoting from Wikipedia: At the time [it opened in 1995] it was both the longest cable-stayed bridge in the world, and also had a record distance between piers for a cable-stayed bridge.

At first impression, I thought this was AI-generated, but then I read your comment about making it painterly in Topaz, which I have considered buying. Would you recommend the investment? |

Very nice mountain image. How long were you in Turkey and how did you like it? |

Your colleague, Chris, noted below that the building appears to be leaning back due to the ground view perspective. I actually do not see that. I think you have adjusted the perspective to make the verticals exactly parallel. But my view of perspective is that there might be a slight suggestion of the leaning back perspective to let the viewers know you are shooting from the street level and looking up, as well as to give the building a slight sense of soaring upwards. I would still be interested in seeing the original to learn how much perspective you changed to get your result. |

Stunning shot. I am interested in the perspective. Can you show us the original? |

Larry, I just got a gmail supposedly from you. I think you had better change your password. You were probably hacked. |

This is a beautiful city-scape, and it is interesting that you have all been able to develop so many good variations.
I like Ed's take on perspective, as I also prefer to leave a little of the tapering perspective of tall building. After all, we do see them soaring upwards with the perspective of our eyes, so keeping some of that in the image is true to reality. |

This is a great shadow play image. Also well done to invert it and lengthen the shadows to approximately human proportions.
I definitely suggest cropping off the bottom third of this image to remove all of the actual human legs, even photoshop them out. The entire subject is those excellent shadows. |
