18 Dec 18 Comment This is a personal preference but I am not keen on the colour of the music. But a nice idea (I try and do something Christmas-y this time of year too). Dec 16th
18 Dec 18 Comment I think this could just be cropped on the right. This is very effective and I like it a lot. Dec 16th
18 Dec 18 Comment yes, very creepy. Dec 16th
18 Dec 18 Comment I agree with Mark about the bottom of the picture needs maybe better a bit more contrast. Dec 16th
18 Dec 18 Comment I also like the original 1 & 2. My feeling is that maybe too many "planets" - one or two might work better. Dec 16th
18 Dec 18 Comment I agree some cropping would be beneficial; the sky seems much too large. Dec 16th
18 Dec 18 Comment I think I used an old app called Topaz DeJPEG 4, which improved the noise much better than the luminance slider in Lightroom Dec 4th

40 Dec 18 Comment Perhaps a Wallace and Grommit type penguin? Dec 19th
40 Dec 18 Comment It was a very crowded pavement so there wasn't much room to move around but I should have positioned myself so as to be able to see the face of the snowman with the red jacket.
It's OK for a Christmas card. 		Dec 11th
40 Dec 18 Comment A fun picture. I think the blending of the dog's head and the hawk could be improved, also have you thought of changing the dog to grey, that would fit in with the bird better.

Actually the hawk is a splendid picture in its own right. 		Dec 11th
40 Dec 18 Comment Have we been on this bridge before?
A pleasant seasonal picture and you've done well to get the detail in the bridge snow, but it's also soft so I think better without it. To my eyes there also a slight tilt. Is there a column or something similar at the bend in the river? My preference would be to crop off the left hand side so as to place the column and prominent right hand tree on the "thirds"; that also emphasise the vanishing point. I also think a touch more contrast and vibrance. What do you think? 		Dec 11th
40 Dec 18 Comment We never made this area when we visited Utah. A bit sad the light was so unhelpful, better luck next time!
Although the reflections are stunning I think the orange cliffs have lost detail and for me the interesting part of the picture is the vista through the gap and the left hand side. Again a question of taste but I think this works better. A bit of added vibrance + lightening of shadow/darking of highlights. What do you think?		 Dec 11th
40 Dec 18 Comment Both versions are fine, a very nice shot. It certainly looks wintery. Dec 11th
40 Dec 18 Comment This a question of taste but I think the building and lights on the left hand side detract from the lighthouse and the reflections so would crop them off. Also increase the vibrance and perhaps lighten the shadows. Is there a slight tilt to the right?
But overall, a pleasant view with grand reflections helped by taking it in the "blue hour". 		Dec 11th
40 Dec 18 Comment This looks a bit underexposed and the overall colour doesn't look right to me. I took the liberty of importing your image into LR and applied my workflow which is:
1.Go to the develop module and use the crop and straighten tool, under the left corner of the histogram. Complete any cropping and adjust the angle line to make things horizontally and vertically correct,
2.Hit the crop tool again and selected the portion of the photo wanted,
3.Go to the WB box and adjust the white balance,
4.Pulling down the menu that says "As Shot" and changing it to "Auto",
5.If that looks OK I go to "tone" and do the same thing.
6.If the WB does not look OK you can customise it with the sliders or if shooting in RAW there are other options on the pull down menu. Same is true for the Tone.
7.After those two adjustments I go to the presets on the left and apply "General Punch"

I applied 1 stop exposure and added a bit of orange. What do you think. 		Dec 11th
40 Dec 18 Comment You are quite right about the noise, the image was shot at a very high ISO and the Canon Eos M is quite an old camera now. Dec 6th
