10 Jan 24 Comment Thanks to all for your helpful comments! Longwood is more crowded than ever, but mostly on holidays, and is well-worth a visit any time of the year! Jan 21st
10 Jan 24 Comment Beautiful image in terms of composition - and the presence of ice helps! In particular, the texture of the clouds is a feast for the eyes! Compelling as it is, I'm wondering if the image might benefit further from more color saturation and/or warming in the sky. And have you taken similar pano photos later in the evening (farther into the sunset)? Jan 21st
10 Jan 24 Comment A well-composed image with a vibrant but selective color palette of red-pink-yellow. It has a strong sense of rhythm imparted by the 2 curved lines. The diagonal orientation adds dynamism to the scene. I prefer the cropped image, since (to my eye) it appears to be more symmetrical. Jan 21st
10 Jan 24 Comment The main subject goose is well-captured with its outstretched wings. And I agree that its head, particularly around the beak, is obscured by the black background of the wing. Maybe zooming in and applying careful dodging would help here. Jan 21st
10 Jan 24 Comment You've captured the bird perfectly in terms of pose and sharpness! I agree that increased contrast and perhaps selective saturation of the reds would add more pop to the plumage. Background is still somewhat distracting but could be further blurred, burned in or treated with the Generative tool. Jan 21st
10 Jan 24 Comment Yes, the Vatican Museum is an amazing place to see as well as photograph! This is a creative composition that is unified in that the head at left appears to be eyeing the statue at right. The dome at top is somewhat distracting, but I feel removing it and all color goes too far, since this also removes all connection to the Vatican setting. I would tone the dome down as well as the background detail at far left (by burning in). And I would also keep the red in the scene, as it provides a color contrast with the 2 foreground subjects.

10 Jan 24 Comment The building's architectural details show up well in this image. I agree, tho, that in the original image its perspective is distorted (due to the use of wide angle (18mm)). Your perspective correction in LR helped here! The photo is also on the cool side; I would warm it up by increasing color temperature in LR. Jan 21st
