51 May 22 Reply Thank you for your kind comments. It was just something I noticed as I walked by. As photographers, I think we all have that, "that might be a good picture" thinking. Sometimes it works out.

51 May 22 Reply Thank you for your comments. It was just something that I noticed while I was walking through the park. Strictly serendipity. I'd like to do some planning sometime!

51 May 22 Reply Thank you for your comments. The window is on a city park structure, so I didn't do anything with it other than to improve saturation and brightness. It was just one of those things that caught my eye as I was walking by.

There's a topic of "found" vs. "planned" images. Most of my shots these days are found. Some time ago, I did planned shoots, but not so much these days. I like both, of course.

51 May 22 Reply Thanks, Dave. As I mentioned, I did edit the window area to improve the brightness and saturation, so I took a little license with the (image's) truth. It was in the shade, too, which helps to level the exposure and contrast.

51 May 22 Reply Thank you for your comments. I hadn't thought about it being a framed print mounted on a wall. What an interesting and creative thought! The original reflection was a bit less bright, so I did adjust it to make it look like this. Glad you like it.

51 May 22 Comment This is a nice shot. The curve of the stairs and railings leads the viewer into and through the shot. The inclusion of the humans adds scale, and as Dave mentioned they seem to be synchronized. You probably tried it, but I think I'd be tempted to do a BW version to reduce the impact of the clothing and maybe crop in a little from the left. Either way, nicely seen and captured!

51 May 22 Comment Pam, I think you capture wonderful images all the time - at least from what I've seen on this forum. In this image, I see the foreground is in shadow, and the midrange is in bright sun. The camera tried to manage that, and it didn't satisfy either. So, if I had to edit this shot, I'd increase contrast and decrease highlights. I'd probably try a couple of different layers and brush them back as needed - speaking in Snapseed here. The alternative would be to use PS, but I haven't learned enough about PS Mobile yet to be sure. It's still a good image that might be better with some edits.

51 May 22 Comment As the others have said, this is a great image. I'm glad you were able to see them and capture the shot for us. And I agree with Richard that it could be a jigsaw puzzle. We look forward to seeing the chicks if you are able to capture shots of them, too. Nice photo!

51 May 22 Comment Nice colors and composition. Your choice of edits was effective in presenting the best part of the original. I think I see a mild painterly effect even in the original and I'm not clear what may have provided that, but it works well in an image of flowers. I like the image.

51 May 22 Comment This close up allows the viewer to enjoy the details of the flower. The colors are bright and cheery, and your center-avoided composition makes it interesting. There's a starburst effect that I suppose is due to lens distortion from the close position, but it isn't a problem. Nice creative shot.

51 May 22 Comment Your edits made this a beautiful desert sunset scene. It's a definitely improvement on the original. In the right person's hands, some amazing things can be done with apps like DFX. Nice work.
