15 Sep 21 Comment Good seeing! The dog statue makes a wonderful reflection which you noted. Simplifying it so it becomes almost a graphic design is a great idea. In addition to the impact of the dog and grasses, you have some interesting diagonal lines, which give the images even more impact as they lead to the dog. This is photography at its best. Thanks for your creativity. Sep 13th
15 Sep 21 Comment I think you dis a great first time composite of the three images, plus however many birds were in separate layers. I love the idea of Bryan Peterson jumping over the moon, was he saying "moo??" Although it is not quite dark yet in your image. since the iight is coming from behind Bryan, you might consider darkening him still more to almost a silhouette. It is wonderful that you were able to get him into such a good position over the moon. I recently took a class in composites and almost the most important lesson was to make sure the light made sense. I will attach a sample of what might be closer to the actual light situation. I cut off a ibit of the sun by accident. Sep 13th
15 Sep 21 Comment Rick,
I would keep your frame, but because of my cropping I was not able to do so.		 Sep 13th
15 Sep 21 Comment Rick,
I think your camera is doing a lot of work, which is great. However, in this case, I love the dahlia, but not the background. Despite the bokeh caused by the iPhone, I would prefer the flower itself to be in the frame with almost no background. There are a lot of bright spots that I find distractingly. I am impressed with the flower itself with its sharpness an color impact. I would crop it a lot more and darken the background a bit. Here is an example of what I am suggesting attached.		 Sep 13th
15 Sep 21 Comment Great triangle between the three of them. The young couple look so fresh and new, as does the baby, of course. The newly married couple and new parents are totally concentrated on the baby, which is as it should be. Very nice composition which fills the frame perfectly, in my opinion. As to the tighter crop, suggested by Kristi, it is also good. However, I like the arm of the father, maybe just crop a bit on the left side. Sep 13th
15 Sep 21 Comment Linda,
I really love your street photography. This is excellent. Her position in the frame works for me The red is a strong color and really gives a punch to the image. I agree with Billy that the blue hat works well with the red. Toning down he bright spot also is a good idea, however I do like keeping in all of the red on the left. You might actually totally clone out the bright spot on the wood, although the brightness does bring your eye right to her face, acting as a pseudo frame.		 Sep 13th
15 Sep 21 Reply This version was corrected for two things from the original that I showed at camera club:
1. The alignment was made much more carefully
2. I color corrected between the two scans, as one was slightly darker than the other. I used the clone tool at an opacity below 100 to achieve that.		 Sep 13th

21 Sep 21 Comment Wow, you sure did a lot of work on this. I love the idea of chicken noodle soup as a cold medicine. Sounds and looks tasty to me. After all of your work, my feeling is that the noodles have taken over and are a bit too heavy for the balance in the final image. I would suggest cropping it about halfway up the noodles from the bottom to give the more interesting aspects of the final outcome a stronger impact. The bright and thick noodles are taking over the picture, although you have done so much work on the upper half with the carrots. This is one of those images that could be cropped many ways, but I do suggest toning down the noodles Sep 13th
21 Sep 21 Comment Charles,
I hope I got the correct final image up for you. I wasn't absolutely sure if it was this one or the green one. This comes across to me as an abstract image that could be hanging in a modern art museum. It gives me the feeling of dead leaves floating in a fascinating background. I like the use of the one branch connecting the reeds and leaves, giving continuity to the image. It's fun to sit and look at it to see all kinds of things. The overall image has a glow about it because of the lighter areas in the middle, which works well for my sensibilities.		 Sep 13th
21 Sep 21 Comment Brian,
You image of the blues singer is so perfect. The angle you used with her and the mic being the only subjects is really good photography and excellent cropping technique. Your dissolve brings it into the realm of creative. I had seen these kind of dissolves used previously by one of our former members, who did it herself using photoshop brushes that she imported. I always wanted to emulate that, but have not tried yet. You sound like you have found a program that works well for that effect.		 Sep 13th
21 Sep 21 Reply Thanks, Brian,
The instructor felt that having a grounding for the animal was important, but you may be right about the floating above it all. 		Sep 13th
21 Sep 21 Comment This is a lot of fun. I love how you put the witch in the lower right corner, cutting her off a bit. My eyes are not good, but the only other piece that looks put into the campsite is the hanging upside down man or Frankenstein's monster, not sure. You were lucky with the lighting because it looks very even There is no obvious shadow direction, so you didn't have to worry about that. Your insertion of the two elements was done very well. They don't look like they are pasted in to me. Good job! Just a month early. Sep 7th
