41 Apr 19 Comment I love the water! Adds a lot.
The color saturation of the leaves is wunderful and adds to the image.
I like the added egret, monkey, birds, etc.

The sky color and muddiness could use improvement. The water would be reflecting some of the sky, so the two do not match. This image is worth re-working the sky for. 		Apr 25th
41 Apr 19 Comment Harold has indeed created a technique for selective hdr without tone mapping or luminosity masking.
This is an effective use of the technique in order to bring out the details in the flowers. I like the composition and end result of the different layers. The darker orange strips in the granite are a little distracting, you could bur that layer some. 		Apr 25th
41 Apr 19 Reply have a great trip! Tell us about the experience when you return. To visit Monet's garden in Giverny is a bucket list item that I may never afford.
Do you post elsewhere that we may see your other images from this trip?		 Apr 25th
41 Apr 19 Comment This made me smile!
great use of textures and sparkles for the fairy dust.

I would tweak the area behind the wings and near her feet. I would also tone down the pink a tad and remvoe the pink that is on the border (halo around the edge)		 Apr 25th
41 Apr 19 Comment desaturating the image works very well here
The cactus fits with the flames

I enjoyed reading your description and the comments, this image would do well in an art gallery too, as it makes the viewer think and feel.

you can also render flames pretty easily in PS, used to be only render clouds, but the render flames works well. 		Apr 18th
41 Apr 19 Comment lots of fun to look at, LOL.

I agree with what was said about trying for a loose leash. Except for that it is funny and what a great personal project to recreate a classic like that. kudos!		 Apr 18th

44 Apr 19 Comment Good composition, pleasing tone mapping, snow is exposed well and not grey/grungy. River provides a nice line thru the image, although it might be stronger flipped, with the river a real leading line. Apr 25th
44 Apr 19 Comment love the truck!!!

The grass could be toned down a tad.
I am surprised for HDr that the sky is so white, seems like the exposures would bring out the cloud detail. You do not say how many exposures, but even at three exposures it seems like there should be more cloud detail.
With a white sky you could consider adding a texture, just add and change the blend mode to multiply...		 Apr 25th
44 Apr 19 Reply like this version! Apr 25th
44 Apr 19 Reply this version has even more appeal, like the blue toned down Apr 25th
44 Apr 19 Comment This image definitely pops, the red and whites and the shadows, especially the chair on the left.
I like the suble edge "I applied a slight amount of edge darkening"

The broom makes one wonder and it fits in with the woman in the window.
The white is a tad gray for me, was it really dirty like that or did that result from Post? 		Apr 18th
44 Apr 19 Comment love the colors and pose of the tiger! You leave the viewer wondering what he is thinking!

The image is somewhat grainy or grungy, and at 100 iso I can only assume that came from the post-production.
The tree is kind of distracting, and the grass is a tad over-saturated for my taste. 		Apr 18th
44 Apr 19 Comment love Nubble and your composition and timing (light in LH) is great.
I don't mind the bright sun or the flare (and good to hear that someone still uses a split ND filter in camera), but the bright sun does sort of compete with the red light in the LH.

I love the splash on the rocks and the rocks in general in the foreground, but also wonder what a longer exposure for silkier water would have looked like.

The poles are the worst thing about nubble, wish that they had put them underground when they had that storm that took out the power a couple of years ago! 		Apr 18th
44 Apr 19 Comment love the clouds! they really pop and the composition really makes them the center of interest for the viewer. The tone mapping is nice and none of those dark grey grainy clouds we all had years ago, lol.
I like the crop, but I might be tempted to filter, blur, motion blur the water (or two exposures in camera and blend them in post) for smooth water.		 Apr 18th

63 Apr 19 Comment good lighting, great detail. The background is pleasing, but try darkening the edges. Apr 25th
