51 Jul 22 Reply Thank you for your comments. I agree the structures could be cloned out, but I liked them there. It's a pair of silos and an out-building. There are mountain peaks along the bottom edge, too. The image reflects my personal taste.

51 Jul 22 Reply Thank you for your feedback. I've tried different things with my iPhone images over the years, but nothing like those who have really pushed the envelope. Not quite sure what you meant by, "For me the color seems odd." I did try to brighten the tops of the stems a bit, so that may be what you are referring to. It wasn't perfect, but it was learning.

51 Jul 22 Reply Thank you for your comments. I do agree that part of this forum is to help us learn from other's experiences. Sometimes I haven't shared much detail in my descriptions, so that's another place for me to improve.

51 Jul 22 Reply Thank you, Jerry. That's good information. However, I don't think my iPhone 7+ has those different portrait modes. I may post some other experiments in the future.

51 Jul 22 Reply Thank you, Dave. It was an experiment. Next time I'll do things a bit differently and see how that works. I'm always learning!

51 Jul 22 Comment It was creative to figure out all the settings, filters and adjustments you needed to capture this image. In my humble opinion, the result is a bit surreal, and almost looks like a diorama. As Dave mentioned, thanks for explaining the process in detail for us.

51 Jul 22 Comment I like the presentation and the individual shots. I have noticed this sort of thing myself and wondered if the people doing crack seal have a bit of fun with it. And who could blame them? BW was a good choice in my opinion. Thanks for sharing.

51 Jul 22 Comment Ordinarily we see your lovely landscapes, so I think this is an unexpected image in that sense. The color is great, the composition is great, and the vanishing point down the escalator is great. I think I like it...😊Nicely seen and captured.

51 Jul 22 Comment Love those strong colors! And the nice soft background adds focus to the subject. It's a spirit-lifting shot. The orange petals almost look like individual brush strokes. That hint of blue in the center of the seed head adds a nice across-the-color-wheel reference with the orange petals. Nice capture and nice edits.

51 Jul 22 Comment Gosh, this was a challenging situation. The bird is great, but the visual separation from water wasn't as strong as we'd all like. You did a good job of trying to get some separation. If I could recommend anything, I'd suggest hammering the saturation. I mean really pushing the slider. The water won't change much, but the bird's details might show better. And I wouldn't mind if some of those green leaves remained, too. If the leaves were to get too saturated, one could brush them back a bit. Just a thought.

51 Jul 22 Comment Beautiful area! I can understand why you enjoy going there.
The way the light fades away from the road shows the density of the forest. I do like all that greenery. If I had a quibble, I'd say that the brightness of the roadway pulls my eyes away from the forest. Maybe that's what you intended, and if so, then it worked. I'd probably crop up from the bottom in a 16:9 fashion to reduce the amount of that bright road, and then reduce the brightness of what road remains. Of course, that's just my perspective. I like the trees more than the road! It would be interesting to wander through those lovely trees and try to find all sorts of things to photograph. I'm reminded of Brit photographer Simon Booth and the wonderful photos he makes in the woods.
