25 Jan 18 Reply I like the way that sounds. I think it will overcome some of the difficulties I have with the clone tool. Can't wait to try it out. Thanks for the lead. Jan 20th
25 Jan 18 Comment I find this one of those photos I want to hang on MY wall or use as my desktop background because it is so peaceful and meditative. I definitely will have to try out the adjustment brush in the ways you describe, because you really achieved a great effect of sharp and soft exactly where needed. Jan 20th
25 Jan 18 Comment I agree with Vince's changes. I really like the way you implemented your idea to show the mix of urban and wilderness. The lone buffalo tells the story much better for me than a wandering herd. Jan 20th
25 Jan 18 Comment I like the idea of a portfolio with a theme that you can just keep adding to as you come across interesting people. I really like the way this one takes me right back to the ball game. I can almost hear the crowd in the background and feel his eyes connect with the person ordering. The sharpness and the focus on his face (looks like you added a vignette here) really bring out the intensity of the event. Jan 20th
25 Jan 18 Comment I think you have a great eye for capturing people. I do find the background a bit distracting with the stained glass window and its reflection and the girl behind the trio. I took it into Elements and added a vignette to focus attention on Doris and the kids. See what you think (thumbnail). Jan 20th
25 Jan 18 Comment I agree with Marla that it seems a bit too sharpened and saturated. I think it might be an artifact of the HDR process, and maybe just dialing back the vibrance would make it look more natural to me (see thumbnail). At first I had a problem locating the run-out of the falls, till I realized there was so little water at this season that the almost black area with the prominent rocks was indeed the stream below the falls. I think this is another area where the over-saturation of the rocks plays a trick on my perception. Would love to see this one at full flood in the early spring. Jan 20th
25 Jan 18 Reply I really like the subtle difference that makes. I had never used the healing brush, so I tried it out. It works a lot like the clone tool. Do you know if there is a difference between the healing brush and the clone tool? Jan 20th

51 Jan 18 Comment I like the overall effect. Has a sort of Cartier "girl on the staircase" look. I'd remove the distracting intrusions on the left edge so my focus isn't drawn away from the intended areas (maybe it's just my left-handedness, but my eye keeps drifting over there). After I cleaned up the edge I still saw the ceiling "ornaments" so I took those out too. Hey, it's only pixels, right? Would love to hear what you think. Jan 25th
