41 Aug 17 Comment I love the image. And the use of ink outlines, I had forgotten about that one. So many filters so little time, lol.

Very nice artistic painterly feel. The only thing I would change is the border/keystroke as it draws my eye away from the image. I am not sure about the color, but the size should be much less.		 Aug 30th
41 Aug 17 Comment I love the colors and textures and lines.
I would tone down or color the light house.
Turn the image upside down (temporarily) and you will notice that the house jumps right out you. 		Aug 30th
41 Aug 17 Comment I love creating these tiny plants! and you have taken it to the next level with a composite, very creative!

The cloud at the center is a great touch, as is the timing of the image that you chose with the man at the back of the canoe!

Adding a blank layer and changing the blend mode to color and then painting in the colors would allow the darker bluer water under the canoe to match better with the composite 		Aug 30th
41 Aug 17 Reply thank you for the link! Aug 30th
41 Aug 17 Comment I love the Glow effect, and the gears are really cool! The highlights are blown out which detracts. I would paint with black on the left side where the gear touches your keyline, and also on a few parts of the black background. Aug 30th

44 Aug 17 Comment snow looks white which can be very difficult for HDR, so kudos on your blending technique. The little cabin and blue sky/clouds adds interest to a wonderful snowy scene. well done Aug 16th
44 Aug 17 Comment I love the placement of the beached old boat in the middle.

Grasses and boats and such around it provide an interesting juxtaposition.

getting really close to the boat might have led to a more dynamic composition. Set your white and black points to get more contrast. 		Aug 15th
44 Aug 17 Reply Yes, pop the whites. Nik/Google HDR Efex has a tendency to make the whites gray-out. Aug 15th
44 Aug 17 Reply I agree, was thinking the same thing, especially on the left side

The distortion should be almost an automatic correction in either Lightroom or ACR if you enable the lens profile corrections.		 Aug 15th
44 Aug 17 Comment what a difference your PP made, love the scene. The branch leads your eye right into the tree and then it is anchored there. Great composition choice for your image. I do like the effect Rick's PP had to enhance it even more Aug 15th
44 Aug 17 Reply Yes, that area is tough, perhaps a blank color blend mode and paint with a low opacity light yellow or green... Aug 15th
44 Aug 17 Reply I like your version Aug 15th
44 Aug 17 Comment I love the red barn, and you had a wonderful sky/clouds (although cropped some off the top might improve the composition).

Blending is well done, especially for a scene like this where the clouds and water could have easily gone icky gray; your blends words well.

I would add some contrast in Topaz Clarity, and also play with the dehaze to enhance the and add a little water glow.

44 Aug 17 Comment love the colors and the reflection. The placement in the lower portion works well here. The blending is well done. Sweet!

nit pick, there are two small dirt mounds sticking out on the left, if this was mine I would crop/clone them out.

We had a couple of mosquito nights like that, that time of night they just seem to swarm you, makes you happy for a remote trigger		 Aug 15th
44 Aug 17 Comment The scene and sky and processing create an interesting scene.
Thank you for the details on the PP.

Seems like a little dehaze on the far back left butte/hills would enhance.

To me some cropped off the bottom would help strengthen the composition (right above that big tree). 		Aug 15th

63 Aug 17 Comment the placement of the flower center is well done and I love the details in that part of the flower. The white is handled quite well, and that is kudos to you because it is hard to get details and keep the whites white. The little pink contrasts nicely with the fluffy white petals. I cannot think of how to make this better, you even have five stamen. well done Aug 31st
63 Aug 17 Comment I love details like this, the slight diagonal and the same date showing in all of the coins against the nicely blurred background works well. You could try three or five coins, odd numbers seems to have more impact when there are only a few subject in the frame. I like the aperture chosen and the muted background and the square crop Aug 31st
63 Aug 17 Comment wow, love the colors and the wonderful soft feel of the image. The softness is an enigma because the image is very sharp and all of the stamen are in focus. wow, well done! Aug 31st
63 Aug 17 Reply most of us read left to right... Aug 31st
63 Aug 17 Reply I love it flipped, we read left to right so our eye can come in along the wonderful leaf and then get to the glorious sunflower.
The darker background enhances the flower.
Aug 31st
63 Aug 17 Comment I love the colors and old and the rust. The vertical composition works well here with the worn spots on the left giving the composition some tension and asymmetry.

I would have liked a little more contrast to make the hook look less flat, but that is like spices, to taste.		 Aug 31st
63 Aug 17 Comment I loved mirrored image and this one is done very well! Aug 31st
63 Aug 17 Reply I like this version better as the sides are even which enhances the symmetry Aug 31st
