39 Jul 22 Reply Again, I did a rushed fast rendering. Jerry Jul 7th
39 Jul 22 Comment Larry,

I think that you may have gone a bit too strong on darkening the flower. Your choice.

Here is a rough crude version (I apologize with my fast crude version.) I would suggest that you darken the background around the flower and give the flower a little more highlights? What do you thing?		 Jul 7th
39 Jul 22 Comment Vincent, I have really enjoyed your series of Dance photos. Again you have captured that decisive moment. Love the reflection on the floor.

The dancers twisted body and facial expression is the story. She is giving every ounce of energy to this move and you caught that split second.

My only suggestion is remove a few of those tiny white spots frown in the reflection?

Dave pointed out adding a separation from the black background of the website.

39 Jul 22 Comment Paul,
There is a story being told in your image. As a viewer my mind is trying to wonder what is the father saying to his son?

I think the skin tone of the man and boy and details in their clothing is way too dark. I like the foam of the water and the gravel/stones at the base of the image. Jerry

39 Jul 22 Comment Thanks Dave. Yes, it is Infrared and yes I did blow out the highlights at the base of the falls a little too much. The foliage on the bottom right was toned down without looking unnatural for my eyes.

Getting a good artistic balance with IR is always a challenge for me. Jerry		 Jul 7th
39 Jul 22 Comment Welcome aboard Fran.

First it would really help if you put some kind of a white or light line around the image so there is some kind of separation from the black background of the website.

My interest in your image is in the top half of the photo. That blown out area below the house is where my eye goes to. It look like you lightened that area too much. It does not look real? The building and the top part of the image is really interesting to me. Overall I would suggest that you do not over use the contrast. I would love to see the original unedited image. In other words. Where you started editing right from the start. What would be a good title? "Morning Fog in the Sierra Ancha's" I think this is what your image is all about? Would you hang this image printed and framed on your gallery wall? 		Jul 7th
39 Jul 22 Comment Really an interesting image. The monochromatic version is my favorite. I am not sure that the creative border does what you want it to do. The top of the image seems to be a bit tight and a little chopped off?

I really like the sharpness of the time and brown tone that you used. Bokeh is OK.

The final image is so much better in my eyes than the original. Good editing my friend. Jerry

51 Jul 22 Reply Bob, Not everyone likes infrared and that is OK. On the internet, go to Facebook - and see "Open Group Infrared on the iPhone". Jul 7th
51 Jul 22 Comment Truly outstanding Pam! You nailed this one. This is a great piece of architecture photography. Amazing what you were able to do with your iPhone. Bravo!

Print this one out and hang in your home gallery. Share with others.

51 Jul 22 Comment Lynne,

Your image is like a piece of a fine art painting.

I little white line would help separate it from the background. The yellow and greens are outstanding. The center of the flower are a tad dark, but that may be what you wanted? I really love the background. Jerry		 Jul 7th
51 Jul 22 Comment Nice shot Bob. It would be interesting to try the useless flash that we have on our cell phones. A better trick would be to try the various modes with in the portrait mode. I think had you tried studio light or contour light it may give you what you wanted?

Jerry		 Jul 7th
51 Jul 22 Comment Wow! I am impressed that you got that close to the Heron and captured the shot!

Now getting separation between the bird and ripples in the water. It is especially distracting on the beak of the bird.

I am going to work and find a solution that works. Will get bak to you. Jerry		 Jul 7th
51 Jul 22 Comment Dave, what a beautiful area. The trees are almost over saturated but it sure is pretty.

You could consider darkening the road just a tad at the very bottom of the image to help keep ones eyes going into the image?

Was you driving or on your bike? I can see why you love this area.

Jerry
