51 Jun 20 Reply Thanks for the mention and the image share. I should go through the other groups more than I do.

51 Jun 20 Reply Thank you for your kind comments. I also like your suggestion, and I will try it the next time it find something like this. Thanks!

51 Jun 20 Reply Sorry, I didn't answer your question. I took two shots from different heights. I decided one was better, so I edited it. I did a little straightening to get the leg parallel to the frame edge. Then I cropped several ways until the composition seemed best. The problem(s) came from the other seats and their respective shadows. Eventually, I had to settle on a single square crop. Then it was off to Blackie. In hind sight, I should have cloned-out the lines in the concrete as suggested by Sol.

51 Jun 20 Reply Blackie receives regular updates and i have to say it is better than it was. Having written that, I will add that it isn't perfect. The cropping issue is my biggest complaint. I work around that by cropping in Snapseed first, and then going to Blackie. Also, I'm processing with my iPad Air 2 on an old, old iOS version, so I don't see some of the problems relating to newer versions of iOS. (That's one reason why I don't upgrade.)

51 Jun 20 Reply Thanks, Jerry. I do like Blackie, but it always requires a square crop, so that can be a downside. Of course, I prefer a square crop most of the time, so for me it isn't too much of a problem.

51 Jun 20 Reply It's in a public park, so I'll let the groundskeeper deal with them...ðŸ˜Å
Thanks for your suggestion, though.

51 Jun 20 Reply Initially I kind of liked the weeds, but after you mentioned it, I did another edit without the weeds and lines in the concrete. I think I may like it better. Thanks for the suggestion!

51 Jun 20 Comment It is amazing what can be done with careful use of editing. The difference between the orig and the final is dramatic. Thanks for sharing your work with us.

51 Jun 20 Comment Great colors! The use of dof adds to the impact. The water droplets add interest. Nice happy feeling moment for these less than happy times.

I don't know anything about raw capture with our mobile devices. Can't help with that. Raw can be good IF the software allows for adjusting everything like PS does. Let us know if you experiment with it.

51 Jun 20 Comment No worries about social distancing in a spot like that! Very nice scenic capture. The water has that greenish look of just coming off the snow field. Another of your great calendar images.

51 Jun 20 Comment Gosh what a great garden! You must spend a lot of time enjoying it - especially at a time like this. I like the gnome and the many colors. Nice shot.

51 Jun 20 Comment Fun image! Whoever put those eyes there is a creative. Maybe you could add something to it and start a trend where others could add things from time to time. Of course, I forget that there are always those individuals who might choose to deface it, so maybe that's a bad idea. Anyway, nice shot. As Jerry suggested, maybe re-visit in other seasons.

51 Jun 20 Comment When I first saw this shot, it reminded me of Jerome, AZ. Eureka Springs looks like it may be a bit more upscale, though. These old towns often have great photo ops and you have taken advantage of that here. Great old architecture and you captured it well.
