3 Aug 23 Comment The color is really typical of Southern Europe, as is the cobblestone walkway. I have to admit I did not see the cat originally, but he does look splendid doing what a cat does best. We have two. I like the. peeling paint. The use of four dark areas clashes against the usual odd number of interest spots, but you had to include the cat. I think is is a lovely shot of a very typical scene in Portugal.

3 Aug 23 Comment I see that others thought the sky should be cropped.. I still think the water in the foreground works better for m .e and allows you to keep in the trees in the upper right. Aug 24th
3 Aug 23 Comment The S-shaped curve that brings you in front the upper right and your diagonals really help make this photo much more interesting than sone people could take with all the bells and whistles of their expensive DSLR. The entire photo is sharp and the coors and exposure seem perfect to me. The only small suggestion is to crop out a bit of the foreground as it doesn't not much for the image.

3 Aug 23 Reply Mary Anne,
I like your version better than mine. So thanks for the suggestion.		 Aug 24th
3 Aug 23 Comment I'm so glad you were able to get the entire photo tack sharp from front to bak. . It was necessary to show off the beautiful little yellow tundra flowers so we'll. Your work on the regional really brought out the colors and even the sharpness of the photo To me the pile of stones in the left foreground balances the ridges o tithe mountains. The composition is quite good. . The U-shaped curve and the ability to see into the valley below is very nicely chosen as your vantage point. Was it really cold? I Bet..
After reading the others, I actually like the blue sky. I does pick up the color of the few patches of blue flowers which I had not initially noticed.		 Aug 24th
3 Aug 23 Comment Robert,
You certainly improve he image. It is now much more saturated and we can enjoys the greens of the trees and landscapes The original was dark and gloomy A suggestion: Crop off part of the sky so the horizon is not smack in the middle of the image. That is the old cliche of not dividing the image in half as it makes it more static. But you have more than enough sky, so can afford to get rid of some of it. The rocks in tge bottom right of the image lead you into the frame, working quite well in that capacity. I am making these comments without having read the others comments, so there may be duplication. . Also, welcome to the group!		 Aug 24th

Switching to monochrome helps bring out the contrast between the blue flower and the green leaves. In this instance, I particularly like the set of green leaves in the mid to upper left that echoes the look of the flower. This does not show up at al in the original. Also the leaves directly above the flower show up well and give the composition a triangular shape. Your cropping was necessary as there were too many leaves with a fairly small flower. Cropping helped make the geranium stand out. As I mentioned, the three brighter area in the frame, the geranium and the tw sets of leaves form a lovely triangle which helps the composition greatly		 Aug 24th

18 Aug 23 Comment Jim,
Interesting thinking on this photo.l I see what you are doing, but I have to believe that this is still pretty much realistic even though you used techniques in Photoshop to remove things. I wonder how the new Remove tool , which is a AI in PS would take ut the items you wanted removed I believe that PSA is nto going to allow the use of AI in an of its categories, so this easy, tempting removal method is out. I feel that the color you left the land exposed by the low tide makes me think that it is water , of a greenish cast. I think it would be better, but even more realistic to show that in a greyed cast. I do think that yo spent a lot of tine working this over, but I'm really bt sure how "creative" it is.		 Aug 25th
18 Aug 23 Comment I think yo did a great job on this. I love that you got rid of all distracting elements except the guar rail. The rails, which are bright can be looked at two ways. One is to get rid of then; the other is to leave them. The latter reason is that it makes it look more like a racetrack You could have removed or darkened all of the whitish areas including the sky and just give us the colorful jockeys as another possibility. But I like it as is and that is a different photo altogether Aug 25th
18 Aug 23 Comment I like your colored version and the softness of the footprints your have achieved. One of the best items here is the way the four lower black area look almost like birds flitting or dancing. It's much more interesting now than was the original. Aug 25th
18 Aug 23 Comment I know I'm late but been very busy. You did a great job in one - finding the materials, and two- rearranging them into a pleasing composition that makes sense. The wire cutters are placed well as are the piecers of wire. Nice that they are curved making it much more interesting. The colors you added enhance the image as does the fractals type filter. The yellow border I could live or not live with. Aug 25th
18 Aug 23 Reply I have to say that the one I wanted to ut Incas not the one tat ended up here. The lines were much finer and the overall effect worked a lot better. I'll try to do better next tine. Aug 24th
