41 Oct 18 Comment You could take it a step further and content aware fill the girl...

I love this subject and what you did with it in Topaz, very creative!		 Oct 24th
41 Oct 18 Comment this is a great effect on this subject.Topaz shines here, pun intended.
I would eliminate some of the extraneous hot spots		 Oct 24th
41 Oct 18 Comment what a good strong abstract from the original scene. The green is not even in those areas.
A bit of selective color or levels or curves to make the blacks pop. Also tone down the UL and LR bring areas so our eye stays on the pattern		 Oct 24th
41 Oct 18 Reply I lie and agree with that suggestion Oct 24th
41 Oct 18 Comment Very creative!
You made a good selection of the subject and good job bringing it all together.
This is a taste thing, how can I say how much garlic to add, but I personally like the blue colors of the water (and sky) to the desaturated colors. 		Oct 24th
41 Oct 18 Comment wow, what imagination!! I like how fun this image is. To bring all this together and set it up, kudos!
I love the concept, but the image as a while seems a bit busy to me. Burning in post or eliminating some features would enhance this. 		Oct 24th

44 Oct 18 Comment Nice example of this software for tone mapping. The buildings look crisp, no halos, the sky looks good. The foreground grasses seem a little too sharp.
The overall composition that you chose make the viewer uncomfortable, you have nice calming barns and chose to crop at both windows. Rules are meant to be broken...		 Oct 25th
44 Oct 18 Comment Interesting scene, leading line, well blended. I like max's edit as there is a bit more contrast.
I would clone out the branches in the LL		 Oct 25th
44 Oct 18 Reply I like this version Oct 25th
44 Oct 18 Comment Animals are not common HDR subject and you handled this well. I love the detail in the buffalo. But I think that there is too much detail in the grasses and would tone down the clarity/structure there and also darken the top some so your eye stays in the frame. Oct 25th
44 Oct 18 Comment The contrast of the orange against the blue is striking.

For 200 ISO I am surprised by the noise. I would use Topaz Denoise to remove that (or gaussian blur in PS)
There also seems to be some sensor dust, left side, three spots.
You could also try cropping to a vertical? not sure
and that one moving plantlife in the left front could be removed. 		Oct 5th
44 Oct 18 Comment nice clouds! The trees/leaves add to the scene.
part of me wants to crop so that the barn/silo is not so centered, but I do like the tree on the left.
Perhaps try adding contrast to the silo. It almost looks one dimensional.
And the grass looks a little too neon...		 Oct 5th
44 Oct 18 Comment wow
I like the blue and warm tones juxtaposed
since the back wall is further away I would try some added contrast or adjust the blacks in the rear area.

perhaps try a vertorama next time, shoot horizontal and stitch the tone mapped images together in ACR. That would prevent all the loss of the cropped areas as a result of the verticals 		Oct 5th

63 Oct 18 Comment the colors are a wonderful combination. The soft feel of the flowers in the background add to the image.

it could be sharper.
tripod?
1/15 second is hard even on a tripod.
Mirror lock up?
Oct 21st
63 Oct 18 Comment The settings allow the pistel and stamen to be sharp. A tighter crop might enhance. Also try darkening the lower left. Oct 21st
63 Oct 18 Reply it is hard to separate the emotion that you feel for the image as compared to what the viewer sees. Oct 21st
63 Oct 18 Comment Love the colors and impact! The flowers are awesome. And the water drops just make it pop. Wow!

try adjusting the green tonality of the background, seems a little muddy...		 Oct 21st
63 Oct 18 Reply Stephen - I like it in monochrome too! Oct 21st
63 Oct 18 Comment I like the colors and tones. I agree with the cropping suggestion. There is also a bright spot LL and a dark spot LR that could be eliminated. Oct 21st
63 Oct 18 Comment cool, and by that I mean icky, spider. The spider could be a little sharper.
There is a lot going on in the scene. Rys square crop

and dodge and burn and use come color blend mode layers to make the background less distracting 		Oct 21st
63 Oct 18 Comment I see faces everywhere too. Pareidolia! I like the colors too. Perhaps play with a vertical "portrait" crop to make the face more of a portrait.

What iphone app? You have specs: "Exposure: 1/350 sec at f/22;
ISO 32 and 4.15mm focal lens" my ipohne just gives me a photo and I cannot choose ISO or focal length or aperture.		 Oct 21st
