25 Aug 23 Reply Bollin, thanks for the comment. See my reply to Steve Levitas about my error in not including the top shelf. Topaz put out plugins for Lightroom and Photoshop (and maybe other editors, I only use LR and PS). Rather than giving you lengthy explanation I suggest you go to Topaz labs website where they also have tutorials about using their products. Also, Matt Kloskowski, who is a good photo editor I follow, has a 15 min video on Photo AI. go to the link below to view it.

Let me know if you have further questions.

25 Aug 23 Reply Thanks for the comment. I agree the top of the shelf is needed. For some reason I cut it out when shooting. Lesson learned, always shoot a little wider than you think you will need. Aug 19th
25 Aug 23 Comment An interesting image, but I would crop into a portrait mode. The negative space is too dark to add much. The white lighting is a bit too bright and washes out the colors. I wonder if it would be better in B&W. The noise is defiantly a problem. I do not think it can all be removed, but selective removal for different colors may produce an interesting effect. This is definitely an image you can play with to learn about the different editing programs and plug-ins. Aug 19th
25 Aug 23 Comment Great composition, color, and lighting. I like the stem coming from the bottom left corner, it gives the eye a path into the image. I agree with Bollin's suggestion about bringing out the center point. The stroke, while subtle, helps focus the eye on the flower. Aug 19th
25 Aug 23 Comment Great image, I agree with Bollin about a tighter crop. The composition is good, the fact the dragon fly is sitting on the stick grounds the image. You always have creative borders which I like. I would like to see the dragon fly a little sharper, especially the vanes in the wings. Aug 19th
25 Aug 23 Comment Hi Francisco welcome to the group. You first image is really good. The colors, lighting, and composition are really good. Waiting to get a good shot is always good if you have the patience and time. I like the crop suggested by Brian. It brings in a pano effect which emphasizes the sheep. Aug 19th
25 Aug 23 Comment Great color, composition, and sharpness. To me the bright leaves overwhelm the flowers. I took it into LR Classic and adjusted the white balance, did an auto tone adjustment, and lowered the green and yellow luminance. To reduce the light areas along the borders I cropped a bit and added a vinnette.

I am not sure this is better rather than different.		 Aug 19th
