25 May 19 Comment I like what Eric suggested. I still had a feeling that there was glare when I looked at it, so I took it into Photoshop and reduced the brightness, and then checked the histogram. There was a spike in the red histogram as well as the luminosity histogram, so I went into Selective Color and looked at the Reds. Sure enough there was a spike in the red histogram. I adjusted the black slider in Selective Color for the reds, and the histograms came into line. Not a big change, but it does seem to reduce the glare I perceived. May 25th
25 May 19 Comment I think you really captured the textures of the wood. At first I wasn't sure about the shadows, so I focused in until I could find a reference shadow, and found that the nails or rivets or whatever on the arched portion at the top cast shadows from upper left to lower right. I just seem to like it when I can understand the direction of the light. I wouldn't have any suggestions for improving this one beyond what you've done. May 25th
25 May 19 Comment I like the red/green contrast. I would only clone out the bit of red at the lower right corner and then go with Eric's suggestion of a vignette. May 25th
25 May 19 Comment I definitely like the second version. I like that she is pretty squarely on the thirds line, but I don't like the distractions on the left. I took it into Photoshop and cropped out the two poles, leaving her a little more center, but more to my liking as being the undisputed star of the photo. May 23rd
25 May 19 Reply I, too, like the version showing the bird on the ground, but I also like Marla's crop as a pattern shot. I find with so many photos, there is more than one picture that can be made from the photo. I really like being in a study group where there's more than my own eye seeing the possibilities. May 13th
25 May 19 Reply I do like it! I was so focused on showing the sense of place that I never gave it a thought. Seeing that what attracted me in the first place was the pattern, you really nailed it by showing just that. It also avoids the overexposed scruffy feathers lower left, and the problematic transition to the neck feathers upper right. May 12th
