41 Sep 17 Comment perhaps a tad less red? Sep 22nd
41 Sep 17 Comment i love staircases and you have captured this very well, and I loved the edited version too. The effect is wild, but yey it complements the original carpet too
I like the leading lines and the doorway at the top
The already mentioned black stroke would be good		 Sep 22nd
41 Sep 17 Comment I like the sketch effect! the BW works very well here.

I would darken the background so that it does not draw your eye away 		Sep 21st
41 Sep 17 Comment has great impact and adds to her character!
cool!

you do lose a little of the fact that it is a lip ring so I would either mask out the effect on that area or clone it out

I agree about the neck "as it kinda makes her neck look crinkley and wrinkly" makes her look old and wrinkly, I would edit that area.		 Sep 21st
41 Sep 17 Comment I love this as a subject for a mandala, the colors and patterns work well. I also like including the popouts of the subject used, very well done.
I would darken the blurred background so that it does not compete		 Sep 21st

44 Sep 17 Comment I love trolley museums and have shot at this one a few times. Yes, there are lots of tripod ops here too.

five shots handheld, whew. And in bright light. You did really well with the conditions. and I like the saturation

The colors and composition work, although I would be tempted to change the trolley in the right to yellow, lol

texture would tone down the ground in front
Sep 22nd
44 Sep 17 Comment wow, what an awesome place to stay, I can see why you wanted to capture the memory.
The toning is natural and the sunset and windows give your eye add to the mood.

The chimney is a tad dark

This might be where luminosity would excel over tone mapping (?)

I brought this into ACR and added a gradient to the sky, a tad bluer and a tad darker and then added a color blend mode for windows		 Sep 22nd
44 Sep 17 Comment love the wood tones
The HDR works very well here

I would tone down the right with the bright cabinet.
I would also tone down the map on the left, just a tad, to keep the viewer's eye in the center 		Sep 22nd
44 Sep 17 Comment The clock leads you right into the scene and then all of the elements bring the viewer right around counter
very good toned blend for only three exposures, tough with a window and you did it well.
Good use of the transform tool too.

It needs a little pop, HDR and tone mapping and all that are great, but they often leave you with too much midtone and not enough contrast. 		Sep 22nd
44 Sep 17 Reply I did fix the cyan in the flat part of the roof, but missed that section, thanks! Sep 22nd
44 Sep 17 Comment Thanks everyone!

There was purple in the clouds, this was that belt of venus alpenglow that occurs opposite of the sunset		 Sep 22nd
44 Sep 17 Comment I like the archway and its off center position but it needs more pop. You also have a slight nit of keystoning.

I opened it in ACR and used contrast, vignette, and distortion control...		 Sep 22nd

63 Sep 17 Comment I enjoy abstracts, both as stand alone like this and as overlays in other images. a tad more contrast might make this pop more but I like the patterns and the color saturation makes it apprear like it was wet when photographed Sep 21st
63 Sep 17 Comment I do like patterns and abstracts so kudos on finding one that catches your eye! a little more contrast would make this pop Sep 21st
63 Sep 17 Comment did you consider just including the buds? Sep 8th
63 Sep 17 Comment love the use o f the reflector. The flower and background are handled very well. You even have five buds and I love how saturated and colorful they are! Sep 8th
63 Sep 17 Comment I love the colors and mutedness of the background!

The bird and leaf seem oversharpened to me.

I am not sure how this is macro? or even closeup? most of the images that people call macro are not technically macro, but closeup.

63 Sep 17 Comment I like the diagonal line leading your eye from left to right.The root hairs add interest. I do wish that the white was toned down quite a lot.

Hope that it was not poison ivy. I was taught "Vines that are hairy be very scary" as a child

love the title too, lol		 Sep 8th
63 Sep 17 Reply I tried one image and the nose is not sharp/in focus, and the feet were not in focus either. A macro lens has very little DOF, when photographing frogs I typically have to stack at least two one for the nose and another for the eyes, often I need 3-10 in order to get everything in focus.
