I just tweaked this 6 year old image. So, I can't recall exactly want I did. At that time I probably only used Topaz Adjust lightly. |

I now see the slope below the show. Perhaps the cloned nuggets could become a leading line. We |

Actually, I did ask my wife to sit there, but she rarely cooperates, especially if it means standing in the sun.
She did stand in front of the brothel ad, but she probably hadn't read it. |

I find this a very clever simple image. I think a texture may detract from the simplicity but present another interesting variation. Well done! |

I find this a very interesting Van Google style image. I think I might prefer to see the shadows in the bushes opened a bit. |

I think the image is excellent as is. If I would change it in any way, I'd add more nuggets below the shoe in the background. |

This reminds me of the old Kodak recommendation to create a center of focus by having a yellow or red object in a picture. I think this is much better though and I'm certain the gardener will appreciate it. |

I appreciate excellent images in many versions depending on my mood. Today, my preference is for your version. |

You make a good point. I just cropped out distracting garbage on the left, but cloning in some open vegetation would add balance as you suggest. |

That's much better, but you may also want to see if you prefer darkening the highlights a bit on both sides of the stairs.
I almost forgot to suggest adding a nude walking up the stairs, but some famous artist already did that. Ha. |

I think both images are excellent as presented. Having visited this cathedral, the blue lighting is unforgettable. Perhaps I'll return there some day. |

I find this beautiful as is. I'm sure it will make an excellent 3+' wide print.
However when I view it on my iPad I would prefer a cropped version reducing the bright sky and eliminating it on the sides. This would emphasize the contrast of the dormant trees.
As I often say, excellent images lend themselves to many different versions. |

I find this an interesting image.
Since the primary subject is the stairway, I would lighten the stairs in the center a bit and lower the highlights of the bushes at the top. Even the path above the stairs could be lightened to emphasize the leading lines. |

I think both your color and mono images are outstanding.
If I were to make any change I would open the shadows a bit under the overhanging rocks.
As Jerry mentioned the tones in general are similar. If I were to change that, I would simply darken the rocks surrounding the one in the center. That may be more dramatic, but that change is a matter of personal taste in my opinion.

I think this is a very dramatic and interesting image. I especially like the high contrast of the white cables leading into the black supporting beam. I don't see a problem with the sky, but a border stroke might help a tad. |

I think this is excellent.
I've been using my Google Pixel 3 for most of my single flower pictures lately, but also comparing them to full frame 20mm images. The AI of the phone in auto HDR, portrait mode is superior in my opinion to the full frame D810 images I capture because it's faster with equal quality for a small print. 12 vs. 35 MP. The sharp edges of the phone image also make it easier to change the background. Anyone else using a phone for flower closeups? |

You've kind me food for thought. I need to study old images in order to interpret your suggestions well. Thanks.
I submitted my original version to the Creative DDG 20 this month, but it hasn't seen the mono version. I bet that Group prefers color, but I'm trying to learn to do both well. |
