I usually go across the street to Lowe's but I'm sure there are a lot of things come from the same place. I'm just more familiar with Lowe's layout anymore. Good luck. I think I might have to try a re-do today.

I do have a mirror tile that I was thinking of using. I might use a blue background so the reflection looks more like sky.
You might see if you can find some black glazed tile. It probably would have to be a 12" if you were using the size balls I had. |

Thanks for you comment and you were right that the yellow and orange are reversed. Maybe they are the only ones that were in the right order before I flipped it because I had everything lined up in the wrong direction.
I wasn't sure about including the ruler. I need to do this again for another project and was wondering about using something else to keep the balls from rolling around in our un-level house. |

Probably the main point is not to have anything that could distract from your subject, the sign and birds.

I think that the abstract is good even though it could be a bit confusing. How about rotating it 180 degrees? |

Interesting subject and I like the angle that you have. If you had moved back and included the base, it probably wouldn't have shown how high it was. It looked kind of muddy without much on the white side of the histogram. I tried lightening just the neutral tones with Color Balance in Photoshop. |

Good idea. You might have moved more to your right and a little lower angle to hide the camper. You could have cropped in closer to include mainly the sign. I don't know if you have much choice for an aperture with the phone but throwing the background out of focus might help to keep the eye on just the sign and dead birds. |

I think it is a very nice travel image. You didn't say what you did to make the image stand out more but if it wasn't for the white clothing and strap on the basket, the subject would have been lost against the bricks. |

Very nice. The branch on the left does seem to intrude but then it also helps fill what would have been a larger negative space. If you had included more of it, your composition would have been off. Unless you use this as a pure nature shot, you might have cloned in more of it to help frame the bird. |

This is something that I have been wanting to try for years. I had thought of a way I could try get maximum depth of field in a macro shot about 30 years ago but I never got around to trying it. I heard about Helicon and never got that either. Great job.
It does seem like the color might be off. Is this with tungsten lighting? |

I forgot that I had flipped it to make the colors in almost the right order. The orange and yellow should have been in the other order. I used Topaz to separate the balls for a layer of just the balls and ruler. I might have selected just the balls on the background layer or maybe on a copy of that layer and used Filter>Blur>Motion Blur at 90 degrees to make a vertical blur. Even at the maximum blur it wasn't enough so I blurred it more than once This blur was under the ball and ruler layer. I'm am guessing that I only did a selection of the top of the balls so I wouldn't include any of the ruler in the blur.
The ruler was just used to keep the balls in line. |

Missed this in the description:
The kite was taken with a Nikon D800 with a Tamron 150-600 lens at 600mm. Handheld with shutter speed at 1/2000 (I'm pretty shaky in my old age), f10. Cropped and processed in Lightroom and Photoshop. I was maybe 30 feet away, but not sure. Not good at that. |

Thank you. I think that I will have to improve on this some day. |
