This image is great. From the capturing the eyes to the capture of the mood, it's so well done. I like the b&w, but I really like the old yellowed tone as it reminds me of the photographs of the 1950s. The color image is very nice, but your crop and then pulling this into a sepia tone is very successful. The only thing I might do is to crop out or darken the bright button on the bottom. |

I too like the lighter image. As Tom, I work the image in color first, then convert. Instead of a mask you could try a graduated filter in PS as sometimes this will help without the detail work needed with a mask. |

A happy image! As the other comments mention, the sun on the child's face is key. The only suggestion I have is maybe bump up the contrast a bit. |

Very nice image of the arch. nI've never been to the Greek Isles although I would love to go. And being a true potato connoisseur, Naxos seems to be a go-to destination for me.
I find that my eye pulls down to the strong base in the image. Perhaps as Tom mentions it might help to crop a bit on the right. I always shoot in raw as the details are redly available. I find that JPEG is very limiting on its own. |

Like the rest of the group I don't use high key as I've not taken an image where I found it worked well. I did notice the tail issue, but it seems minimal because of your placement of the bird and his eye as Stephen has mentioned. I use photoshop cc Silver Effects Pro - maybe a filter before the high key? |

yes I used NIK. I have Topaz now, but I'm not as familiar with it so I poke around, but haven't committed to using it without NIK as my back up. |

Great image Angela - the bee drunk with pollen and the pollen sac on his leg only adds to the image. A white peony as the background is perfect. Keep the wings blurry as it does imply motion. Very nicely done. |

Taking the entire family was a great idea as was only the bottom of the screws. Adding the grommets was a good idea as well. The difference of colors and types of screws makes the image even more interesting. Very nicely done! |

This was taken on a light table with only the bottom lit and the light bulb laying on its side. Because it's a clear bulb, it was just too bright to capture a good image when I had it screwed into the fixture. |

Yes the halo effect is coming from a filter that didn't look quite as obvious to me until it was posted here. I almost left the top portion in, but it didn't add to the image and looked messy to me. |
