10 Sep 24 Reply A much stronger image. Well-done! Sep 20th
10 Sep 24 Comment You started out with a nicely balanced palette of colors, and the Distort filter creates a wide assortment of wavy patterns. I shall have to try Distort myself! Sep 20th
10 Sep 24 Comment I agree, you've captured the glow of the sunset very well in the stones of this old farmhouse! The whole scene is evocative of a place once inhabited, now deserted. The hard-to-see graffiti does not bother me. However, the smooth yellow rectangular patch of wall just to right of center seems a bit out-of-place amidst the darker textured bricks. Maybe you could selectively tone down this area to uncover any underlying texture and have it blend in more with the surrounding structure. Sep 20th
10 Sep 24 Comment A dramatic, complex cloud-patterned sky, and the tower is well-placed in the scene. But I agree that the sky is somewhat purple at top. This can be simply remedied by cropping down to the blue sky (about a third down from the top) to make more of a pano format. Sep 19th
10 Sep 24 Comment A compelling, beautiful capture! Your settings (and patience?) paid off. F/6.3 allowed for the selective focus needed to keep the subject sharp yet blur out the background. I agree with Meredith - the only change you need to make is to crop down from the top to make a square format. Sep 19th
10 Sep 24 Comment "Photo Safari in Tanzania" is still on my bucket list! This image is a great memento of your journey. I do find it too cool, however. Increasing color temperature would fix this. I also think a vignette would help here - to de-emphasize the background at top, the open water at bottom and the partially hidden zebras at left. Sep 19th
10 Sep 24 Comment A compelling image that captures the drama of the Canadian Rockies! Those 3 peaks and clouds at upper left really make the scene. I agree with Meredith and Donna that you should crop in from the right to draw viewers to that part of the image. I also agree that the image is too cool. Increase the color temperature to warm it up. Sep 19th
