The sky replacement was done in Photoshop. Some of the tattoos were blurry due to age, but some of course are blurred by DOF. I, too, was intrigued by the man on her shoulder. My bet is Alexandr Solzentshyn, but I kind of doubt it! Next time I get to shoot with her, I'll ask. |

I'm not too sure about the exposure recommendation. Histograms can often be confusing. The teeth and eyes are well-defined, and the sleeves are keeping detail while still looking white. As for the softness, once a woman is past her teens, as this model is, the clarity and sharpness sliders are no longer her friend. I often set clarity and texture down on glamour portraits |

I think my crop would be from the left side of the image. If you cropped the left side to the middle of the deer incecs burner's back, you would have lost the distracting highlights on the left side of the ceiling, and brought our attention more directly to light from the ceiling and emphasized those beautiful light rays and the delight ful play of shadows on the right wall. Great work, Dicky! |

It's a spare image, that's for sure. I believe it works as it is, |

Excellent composition, David. The upward curve of the road, leading to the lowering sky. Add to that the nice placement of the cottage at the right, balanced by the pasture walls. The only quibble I would add is the bluish cast on the greens of the grass and brush. A little hue shift to the green selective color shift would have made the land a little more wistful.
As tragic as the Jacobite Clearances were, they brought a vibrant streak to the Appalachian Mountains, and contributed greatly to our country music scene. |

I just love the long horizontal lines in this picture. You can see them in the rows of trees on the far shore, and then in the way the water is blurred by the long exposure. It's a really simple image, but it invites contemplation, like one of those Zen gardens of sand raked in lines. |

JoAnn, you're working at the max level of phoneography these days! Looks like this started in an Apple store, but you did a good job of abstracting her from the background, and helping us concentrate on this young woman and her creativity. Apple store lighting is designed to bring out the best aspects of the products, and it's good for people, too. Notice the excellent detail on her hair, and the natural fill lighting on the face, topped of by the way the light accentuates the shoulders and arms. Good choice of shirt by the way. She is lucky to have a grandma who shares her creativity and spends time with her! |

I'm with JoAnn in the good composition with the use of the leading line of the road to draw the viewer into the photo. However, it looks like you're losing a little detail in the lower section of road, and the fall colors are a bit burned out. My suggestion: Increase the vibrance, some burning in on the lighter areas, and then a gentle vignette to hold the eye in the frame. |
