51 Feb 24 Comment At first I was confused thinking the images were different compositions. After I read you description I was amazed at how your edits transformed the scene into a beauty. I find myself lost in the original but the edited one holds my interest and my eye is led from the bridge out to the Y and beyond. Great editing! Feb 12th
51 Feb 24 Comment What a fun little guy to photograph. I love that he is sitting on one of the pots and that pot is on its side. The colors and textures of the other pots add interest and there are three pots. My only suggestion would be to crop more off the top as it doesn't add to the image and you want the focus to be on that cute little chipmunk. Well done. Feb 12th
51 Feb 24 Comment Good eye to find this minimalist scene and then to capture it. I think the color and the lines are the key to making this image work. My only suggestion might be to crop more off the bottom as the base of the vegetation doesn't add to the image. However, that would take away your square crop which I like. Feb 12th
51 Feb 24 Comment I like both images as the power of the water is evident using different techniques. I like to use a slow shutter speed for moving water but using too slow of a shutter speed with very fast moving water makes the water to blurred in my opinion. Using live mode doesn't allow you to set a shutter speed so you end up with whatever the mode does. I have three apps: Slow Shutter, Camera +, and Even Longer. Each one allows for setting the shutter speed. I must admit I have not used them for long exposures. Feb 12th
51 Feb 24 Comment Congratulations on your 65th anniversary. I like both images. The original has a nice soft out of focus background and is not distracting. I like the setting in your edited image. The only thing that bothers me is that you seem to be floating above the sidewalk. The addition of shadows as others have suggested may be the key to ground your feet. Feb 12th
51 Feb 24 Comment A beautiful birds eye view of the lake and surrounding colorful hills. One of the advantages of phone photography is the depth of field, everything sharp from foreground to infinity. I agree with the others that toning down the foreground orange rocks would be beneficial in letting the eye go into the scene. Looks like a beautiful place to hike. Feb 12th

52 Feb 24 Comment In the right place a the right time. Beautiful tones in the sky and the light is reflected in the wood of the pen on the left. The fence line leads my eye into the sunrise. I think you handled the distortion well along with the removal of the poles and things in the foreground. Beautiful image. Feb 14th
52 Feb 24 Comment To me you have changed a very mundane image into a wonderful simple and graphic image of the V shaped movement of the geese. I think your choice of the yellow preset and the border brings it all together. I would not change a thing. Feb 14th
52 Feb 24 Comment You have a steady hand doing this capture handheld. The important parts of the butterfly are sharp. I do agree with Sharon that an f/5.6 or f/8 would have added some sharpness to the flower head. Nicely done. Feb 14th
52 Feb 24 Comment I think your post processing is spot on in bringing out the colors and detail in the seed head. The subject is nicely placed in front of the green background. I think leaving more room at the top or right side is a personal preference. Beautiful! Feb 14th
52 Feb 24 Reply When I saw the loon in the spotlight lit water I was drawn to it. When I processed the image I felt the highlighted water was too distracting and toned it down quite a bit. Not sure which way to go with it but a learning experience. Feb 14th
52 Feb 24 Comment Sandhill cranes are one of my favorite birds. I think you did a remarkable job at capturing and post processing this image. I like both of your edits; the first one in my opinion gives more of a sense of place with the muted water in the background and the broken ice at his feet is a little more evident as well as his splash down. The final edit in high key works well also and you can still see the broken ice. For me it is a matter of taste and I would and I would not change a thing. Feb 14th
