10 Oct 17 Reply Thank-you for your comments! Upon examination, I too, see noise in the sky and agree that a bit of NR would help. Oct 24th
10 Oct 17 Comment With this somewhat rugged face, I think HDR works here! Well exposed and sharp. Oct 24th
10 Oct 17 Comment A strong composition that is sharp throughout - I like its abstract qualities. The rows of tea form leading lines that eventually lead my eye to the plantation buildings at upper left. Oct 24th
10 Oct 17 Comment A commendable effort and a floral image with great detail in the flower's center and back. However, foreground petals are somewhat soft. Try increasing f-stop to f16 or so next time. I also agree that the vignetting is a bit distracting. Instead of a vignette, I would apply a darker background to emphasize the flower. Oct 24th
10 Oct 17 Comment This osprey was definitely captured at a peak of action - wings outspread with head and eyes plainly visible - nicely done! I agree with other members: clone out the sensor spots and crop in from the left and top. I also think the lighting a bit harsh - particularly on bird's legs and nest twigs. You can tone this down with the Shadow/Highlights command in PS. Oct 24th
10 Oct 17 Comment Good example of masterful technique creating a compelling image. I particularly like the background skyline and detail in the blurred clouds offset against the dark sky. However, I find the foreground tiles a bit too prominent and distracting. I would tone this area down (see John's image) and consider cropping up a bit. Overall, well-done! Oct 24th
10 Oct 17 Comment Great head-on capture of an ornate door with captivating textures. I, too, agree with most of Dan's comments. In particular, I agree that vignetting would add to the image and keep the viewer's eye on the main subject. I also find the image tilted a bit to the left (based on the tilt of the upper pediment) - this can be straightened in PS. Finally, I am struggling with the number 6 - I find it a bit distracting. Does it have historical relevance to this door. or did someone just paint it on? If the latter, I might consider cloning it out. Oct 24th
