It looks great to me. You might have had a little more sharpness on the foreground wings but it is perfect on the body and the little critters sitting there. |

I would like to see a little more detail visible in the dark areas but if you did that, you would probably loose the impact of all the antennas. I can just imagine how hard it would be to adjust your antenna and then someone else would adjust theirs and throw yours off again. Good capture of years gone by. I think I still have my Vivitar Series I lens somewhere. |

I didn't think that the exposure of the snow was all that bad but I thought that I might see what would happen with a slight vignette and a little tweaking. Is this that noticeable? |

Hey, there's nothing saying that a good photograph needs to take work. You did great. Besides that, you even got the exercise of picking up the camera. You have good sharpness and still able to show the motion with the blur in the wing. |

It almost looks like a comet. I hadn't noticed that before.

I really like the pattern of the clouds. My eye is drawn to the pattern of the sun but I would like to see the actual sun as a place for my eye to stop. You might have taken this a little earlier so it was higher in the sky but you probalby wouldn't have had the color in the clouds. You might be able to kind of slip the sun in there without telling anyone. While you were at it, you might have cropped off the right side so the sun would balance off the silhouette on the left side. |

I you really do show the great depth of field with the Helicon. I like the way that you have this lit to keep the detail from being lost in shadow. I do agree about the border. You don't mention it but when I was looking closer, I noticed that there had been some masking done with different layers. This was especially noticeable around the insect's left antennae. I tried adding a graduated layer under your image and played with the blending modes. It seemed like using the Lighter Color Blending Mode seemed to blend the insect into the background without showing the masking. You might want to mask out the dark areas on your subject so the background wouldn't show through. |

I could work with the "moody" one a bit more and try to a little more adjustments with Luminar. I like that you can adjust the foreground as well as the sky. I usually add a little vignette in my workflow. I don't know if I did it with this but I could add light to the middle of the vignette or toning down the sky. A friend of mine would like to get a jigsaw puzzle made with this but he would like a little more faint detail in the dark area. There was some stone blocks beside a road that ran in front of this. I might have to add a different foreground for the detail he would like. I've got other things I need to get done first.

It was on the "Rims" between the airport and town. The rims border Billings on the north side. Hopefully this will become an annual event. It was quite a sight. |

Here is the original image with a simpler sky. I wish that Luminar would have a horizontal adjustment for the sky replacement. It can be adjusted out of Luminar but it is a lot of work. |

I hadn't tried. I have been building my cloud files since I don't like using Luminar's skies because they are someone else's work. I just grabbed a quick sky and I think that it destracts from the colors in the teepees. Maybe a replacement that was not so overwhelming. This was actually another one that I took about the same time. |

Thanks. I was there for about an hour waiting for sunrise. I was hoping to get some clouds in the sky but that didn't happen.
