41 Jun 17 Reply just flipped the image and masked it out, use that a lot. Was a Robert O'Toole trick for bird backgrounds Jun 22nd
41 Jun 17 Reply True, I too often come up with two versions that I really like of the same scene. Jun 22nd
41 Jun 17 Reply good suggestions Yolanda! I love both of those in Nik

44 Jun 17 Comment I love the repeating circles. I like how you start on the top left and the circles just lead your eye along and then rest on the larger circle. Very well done!
The floor looks dark enough for me, but under the table there is a little halo on the floor

44 Jun 17 Comment love the rainbow! The colors of the rainbow and all over are very realistic and the image sings well.

just a thought, a square crop??

44 Jun 17 Reply I agree, content aware fill or clone out that one orphan shadow Jun 22nd
44 Jun 17 Comment I love cemeteries, the history and the architecture, everything about them.
only issue is the blue colors cast, try selective color to take out the blue cast...
Jun 22nd
44 Jun 17 Comment Thank you for the advice on the app, and for reminding us that the best camera is the one with us. I like the low placement of the horizon line -- wonder how it would look with more cut off the top, more like a pano?
Jun 22nd
44 Jun 17 Reply good suggestion! Jun 22nd
44 Jun 17 Comment I just love the water! Wow, the ND filter really made this pop!!

The sensor dust must be dealt with :-(
for now deal with it in post, but clean your sensor or send it in and get it cleaned.

personally, I would content aware fill/clone out that one blurry weed.

44 Jun 17 Comment Great use of foreground to liven up a landscape! The angle and processing are done well!

only nit pick, right side of tree, just a tad lower with your camera and you would have cleared the mt and not merged.

63 Jun 17 Comment I love Mike's setups! I was an assistant at the first three annual macro conferences of Mike's and so enjoyed watching people make art out of ordinary subjects!
You did well with the tripod and f22. I love the placement of only one full ball with the rest partials. Great detail and color, very well done!

63 Jun 17 Comment Always good to have projects like this! I love tools! Always enjoy finding them on location too! I have a bunch of projects ongoing at all times.

I love the placement and the tool itself. The colors are good.

The background is still distracting, perhaps a Gaussian blur?
There are some artifacts, perhaps areas missed in masking or brushing?

63 Jun 17 Comment love the colors and they way the blossoms make you walk up the image. The background is nicely blurred and complements the flowers well. Just a tad more canvas on the bottom... Jun 22nd
63 Jun 17 Reply Agreed, try content aware fill too -- that often works without cloning needed. Jun 22nd
63 Jun 17 Reply yes, a little more canvas would enhance this great image Jun 22nd
63 Jun 17 Comment love the texture and colors and water drops in the rose! Great detail and color, adds interest! Good idea to darken the green, perhaps a slight G Blur, since you already have the mask you can alt copy the mask to that G Blur layer. Jun 22nd
63 Jun 17 Comment try lining the crayons up diagonally??
Jun 22nd
63 Jun 17 Comment ooh, I love crayons and I recently purchased the cam ranger. I am inspired by your image to get it out of the box and try it. How hard to set up? Downsides? Jun 22nd
63 Jun 17 Reply I agree Jun 22nd
63 Jun 17 Comment Well done!The image does show a big level of sharpness that would not be doable w/o focus stacking. I do wish that you had a little more room on the bottom.

I understand focus stacking and Helicon Focus and Zerene Stacker and even focus stacking in PS. I have done manual focus and stacked in post.
BUT I have not yet mastered capturing the focus stacking in my Olympus. How do you set up your Olympus to capture focus stacks? I have tried and had no success.
