Ralph, this composition is a delightful celebration of the festive season, captured beautifully with the technique of light painting. The careful illumination of your subjects has brought a wonderful contrast between the warmth of the snow globe and the coolness of the snowmen, crafting an image that speaks to the magic of winter holidays.
It's a beautiful capture straight out of the camera, and further adjustments would only serve to refine what is already a captivating holiday scene. Happy Holidays! |

Angela, your still life composition is a delightful showcase of how light and texture can elevate the simple to the extraordinary. The careful selection and placement of the cherries, paired with your own textured background, lend a warmth and depth to the scene that is often sought but not always achieved in still life photography. The subtle colouring that echoes the cherries ties the elements together in a symphony of reds that is both vibrant and pleasing to the eye.
I agree with both Janet and Randall's suggestions for future experimentation. |

Randall, your photographic craft truly shines in this evocative capture from a Chinese temple in Vietnam. The choice of sepia toning while preserving the vibrant red hues of the model's dress is an artistic stroke that beautifully marries the timeless with the modern. The meticulous attention to detail in post-processing-toning down the highlights, cleaning up distractions, and subtly enhancing the model's features-culminates in a composition that's both striking and harmoniously bala |

Rose, this shot from the National Gallery of Art is simply mesmerizing. The perspective you've captured on the moving sidewalk, flanked by a tunnel of lights, draws the viewer into a journey of color and reflection. Your post-processing work in Photoshop and with Nik HDR has brought a polished uniformity to the scene. Your artistic vision has transformed a simple walkway into an enchanting visual experience. |

Thanks Randall. I love the editing process and plan to do more in 2024. I will experiment with contrast in the lower half of the picture for drama. I love dramatic effects! |

Captivating capture, Janet! The post-storm golden hour has indeed worked its magic, bathing the Amish farm in a warm, serene glow that highlights its rustic charm. Your decision to edit out the electric wires and apply the Rule of Thirds brings a balanced composition that allows the eye to meander through the tranquil scene naturally. While the birds add a touch of the animate to the stillness.
Impressive to see the capabilities of mobile photography showcased so beautifully through your iPhone 15. |
