41 Jul 18 Comment Hi Brad, I like this idea! Wow, her eyes really seem to be watching you! It fits the title too.

I like the amount of opacity you have chosen to have her come thru. I am undecided on the tree trunk, it is such a heavy anchor that it competes with my interest.

Cropped? not sure since there even seems to be eyes on the tree trunk!
perhaps just a white layer at reduced opacity or selective color and bring the blacks down. 		Jul 8th

44 Jul 18 Comment love the old headstones. Interesting, I like cemeteries. Good choice for a scene that draws you in.
I would agree, crop off the top to showcase them. And content aware fill the shadow out. 		Jul 27th
44 Jul 18 Comment there might be a cloning artifact Jul 27th
44 Jul 18 Comment Great job! This is sooo cool!
I love the vertical and the rays!

A little less saturation and crop a tad off of the left side.		 Jul 27th
44 Jul 18 Reply The Nik HDr is pretty old technology. I do hope that DxO updates the software and allows saving the tone mapped images as DNG files.

Tom, are you using photoshop CC? if so try the tone mapping in ACR, it is easy and does a great job. 		Jul 27th
44 Jul 18 Comment I love the subject matter! what a find! Kudos for stopping and shooting it!

The colors are a little over saturated. and it could use some more contrast. I like Rick's version.		 Jul 27th
44 Jul 18 Comment My first thought was to get rid of the person, but immediately I thought of the sense of scale, which was confirmed by your description.

I love the perspective and the cut out on the right and the main tea kettle. I like it as a vertical, but I would get rid of the shadow in the LR		 Jul 27th
44 Jul 18 Comment love the composition and clouds. toning is good. love it, except for the previously noted blueish cast on the LH.

A square crop would be appealing here too		 Jul 27th
44 Jul 18 Reply good edit on the white/house Jul 27th
44 Jul 18 Comment I saw the thumbnail and clicked on this image first in this month's -- wow! love this! As soon as I saw it bigger I thought content aware fill, get rid of the logs, then laughed when I saw Brad's comment.
The colors and composition in this are stunning! wow!		 Jul 9th

63 Jul 18 Comment love the colors and gracefulness of the flower. background complements it well.

to improve, try flipping it, we read left to right so this image might be stronger coming in along the stem on the left and flowing out to the right...		 Jul 28th
63 Jul 18 Comment wow, tack sharp, impressive for handheld and such a big lens.

The colors pop and the placement of the bee works compositionally. Wonderful.

only thing to improve would be heal or content aware the lower left and upper right blotches on the flower petals. 		Jul 28th
63 Jul 18 Comment love the composition of the catkins. love the colors and the flow of the catkins.

I would have clipped off or cloned out that one OOF leaf at the top.		 Jul 28th
63 Jul 18 Comment welcome! wow, cool, 50 stacks! Your hard work has paid off!

love the portrait of this insect!
there is some haloing at the top above its head and at one spot on its antennae and lower left.
The background is mottled, it would be better solid.		 Jul 28th
63 Jul 18 Comment I like the colors and face at the top! The blues and purples are my favorite colors, and then the Colors at opposite end of the color wheel with the yellow just pops it.
white in the "head" are blown out, did you try to recover them in ACR??? 		Jul 27th
63 Jul 18 Reply yes, I do a lot of chameleons and such on black or green, but the white is a meet your neighbors thing that I like. Jul 27th
63 Jul 18 Reply yes, he is my pet. I keep a light tent up all the time. I find the white is a "meet your neighbors" thing that I like.
I have had him about a year, cranky little fellow. I try to acclimate him, but it took a lot of patience. One day I looked and there he was turned turquoise, a combination of hormones and mood and temperature. And he finally climbed onto me without hissing and throwing a fit. So him reaching his leg out to me, like newborn pose we do with parents in the studio all the time, meant a lot. Camera on tripod with remote and lcd out so I could see screen.		 Jul 27th
