I love how you filled the frame with the flowers and the colors. Good choice cropping in a bit to get rid of the few spots of white sky. I like how it is different than more typical shots of sunflowers in a row. The focus and depth of field did not stand out to me, although once pointed out by others I can see how their suggestions would have made a difference. The only nit-picky item I may have done different is to clone out or crop out that small triangle of a petal coming down into the frame in the top left edge of the image into the circle of one of the flower centers. |

I like what you have done Al. I am not very good with flash, so I am not sure what you could have done differently to reduce the amount of red eye and bright spots. I suspect that someone that has more experience may have some ideas for the future so you don't have so much work to do in post. I think you did a good job getting rid of the red eyes and having it look natural. I like your composition with the curve of the path and the dogs. The bright spot on the driver's bib is a bit distracting, but at least it draws your attention to the right part of the image. Part of me wants to crop in a little bit to get rid of the bright tree on the left and some of the trees, but another part of me likes how leaving it in adds depth to the image - so I may have left it as is too. |

I think you chose a very good image for this effect. I like the result, the painterly look adds to the original image nicely. The only thing I would change is to remove that white pole to the right of the windmill. I spent too much time trying to figure out what that is rather than appreciating the subject of the photo. It looks like it blended in with a white window in the building behind it when the effect was applied. It probably wouldn't be hard to clone out prior to the conversion. |

I like the subject and the golden sepia tone you used. I agree with Alan, I think you could add some drama to the sky that may also make the boat stand out a little bit more from the background. You have good details in the clouds that would stand out nicely. Currently my eye is drawn to that bright spot in the sky (upper left hand corner) rather than the boat. Perhaps if you reduce the effect of the sepia over the boat to make it a little lighter would separate it from water a bit. |

I agree with the others, that you should crop out the fuzzy tan shape at the bottom of the image. I like the idea you had regarding the mountains and the volcano, but I think that the image does not convey the volcano part well. If you didn't mention that it was a volcano I would have assumed it was just clouds in the mountain. If it was my image, I may try to emphasize the layers of colors in more of an abstract manner or maybe emphasize the undulations in the mountain by cropping out a lot of the brown volcano(?) in the foreground. It was a good effort and perhaps Joan's ideas regarding contrast and detail might give it the pop it needs. |
