18 Jun 17 Comment Superb - very well done! Jun 19th
18 Jun 17 Comment Neat idea but for me whatever is on the pallette is too indistinct and it "misses". Sorry.

18 Jun 17 Comment I think it needs a stronger shadow. Jun 19th
18 Jun 17 Comment I agree with Mike, it needs something else like an insect.

18 Jun 17 Comment Very imaginative - but the lightning? Bolt passed me by

18 Jun 17 Comment Maybe? Jun 7th
18 Jun 17 Comment This is not a final version and I appreciate your thoughts. Having looked at the image again, I think the street light on the right needs taking out.

40 Jun 17 Reply I use Adobe Lightroom almost exclusively for primary post processing. In the development module there is a section called Noise Reduction - I simply use the slider called "Luminance" to reduce noise to an acceptable level without ablating important detail (one gets a magnified section of the image to judge this). I find this works very well.
The advantage of Lightroom is that the original RAW file is untouched so if I change my mind I can go back to the original file.

40 Jun 17 Comment I've taken some of your comments on board, the left hand still needs some work, the wiring and water pipes being quite difficult to remove naturally. Jun 18th
40 Jun 17 Comment I presume it was taken in ambient light so you've done a good job in capturing this. Maybe a 50mm f1.8 lens (if you have one) would have been better.
I think it would improve the image to de-noise the skin tones especially. Also I find the 3 line reflections in the eye a bit distracting - are they catch lights from fluo lights? I would be tempted to clone these out and substitute a single round catch light.

40 Jun 17 Comment Welcome to the Group, Curtis.
Nice picture. It's sharp enough where it matters. Nice lighting and colours. Would look good on the wall as a print.
It's a matter of taste but I would be tempted to trim a touch off the top to remove the black top left hand corner and also trim off the out-of-focus leaf/chopped off pink flower in the bottom right hand corner.

40 Jun 17 Comment For me the isolated mono version is fine in the centre.
Perhaps better if it was a little less soft but I appreciate it may be hard (focus stacking?) to get it all in focus with the depth of the subject.

40 Jun 17 Comment Yes, a very attractive image, well done. My only suggestion would be to clone out the isolated white lights on the right hand side/backgound which I find distracting. Jun 12th
40 Jun 17 Comment Nice image and well put together. This is very attractive. You've done a good job of improving the exposure.
I find the angle of the window a little distracting and there is a little too much noise on the left hand side - probably easy to reduce using the luminance slider in LR.

40 Jun 17 Comment You've done a good job in brightening up the image. Although it's an interesting sky, the lichen encrusted rocks are the real subject and I think you could have made more of this by pointing the camera a little further downwards. I agree with Susan's comments about the right hand side. Jun 12th
