22 Jan 21 Comment Yes, I agree that this is nice seeing, but not sure if it is a winning image. Marti's elimination of the slats sure helps, but there are just too many vertical lines and vertical line are generally considered to be static. The rope is a good breaker and leads the eye into the picture, but then it takes us (well me) out of the picture. I would consider this image as part of a story in a group of pictures. Jan 15th
22 Jan 21 Reply Good job Marti, but I wonder if a black background is the answer to everything. I go along with Al and I still like a more natural look. Jan 15th
22 Jan 21 Reply Good point on the "Z" pattern Jerry. Not sure of what to do about the eye. However, I can clone the snake in Peggy's garden as soon as I find the apple. Jan 10th
22 Jan 21 Reply Actually, I see that the reflection was removed. Jan 9th
22 Jan 21 Comment Peggy, you selected the best part of the scene. I do not think that there is anything that can improve the beautiful mood you created. I even love the little foreground plants. However, I am disturbed by the white fence and the brown enclosure on the far right. Just as a suggestion, I took the liberty of cloning in some of the local foliage. I also tried to Clone out the white glare on the water and in the center of the image, three times, with no success. Perhaps one of you can explain that. Is it fitting, or not? You be the judge.

22 Jan 21 Comment Now here is an innovative idea that can be explored in many ways. I love the way you finalized the composition. By cropping out the corners of the sink, you created an entire new design. For me, it is not about the sink, but what is in it and what is happening. What catches my eye the most is the flowing water, which appears to be clear frozen into an icicle. I am betting that more possibilities will develop from this. Yes, B & W does work better for me too. Jan 3rd
22 Jan 21 Reply PS: I also stretched the canvas at the top. Also, because the name is legible, this is the only way this image can be presented. Jan 3rd
22 Jan 21 Comment Congratulations Kaylyn on capturing this unique Nature image, which under the circumstances is fairely sharp. You can probably place the otter in any third of the composition and still look good. I do think that Marti's dark vignette is more effective. Jan 3rd
22 Jan 21 Comment Noticed your comment Mike, after posting mine and it is pleasing when more than one person is on the same page Jan 2nd
22 Jan 21 Comment First of all, I wonder why you did not Content Aware the distraction in the right bottom corner. Second, I suggest flipping the image horizontally, since diagonal lines are stronger going from left to right and third, I think the vignetting is too strong and distracting and needs to be toned down. Hope this helps. Jan 2nd

22 Jan 21 Comment Happy New Year everyone and congratulations Al, for being the first member to participate this year.
Fishing marinas offer a verity of subject matter to photograph, but I am always fascinated with the colorful water reflections available. Naturally, my eye went immediately to your reflection. I flipped it vertically. I then rotated to level it and cropped with Content Aware checked. I left part of the actual boat at the bottom, to serve as a base. I then cleaned some distracting images which popped up from Content Aware. Because of the motion in the water, each water reflections is different and they give the appearance of a painting.
