12 Sep 19 Reply Thanks. Perhaps I'll join a Group like yours in the Fall. Sep 1st
12 Sep 19 Comment I like your image but don't know the assigned topic.

I have a creative idea for you to consider. Clone in an airplane or kite and title it "Flying fish".

18 Sep 19 Comment I like your image but am struck by the title. To me the pose, light tones and low contrast do not look masculine.
You've also given me another lesson in borders. I'm hoping to find an easy way to create a preset in Topaz with a simple border and my signature.

20 Sep 19 Reply Thanks to all for your kind comments. I have fun. Sep 3rd
20 Sep 19 Reply I'm sorry I can't remember my workflow from a couple years ago, and I don't currently have access to Photoshop. Sep 3rd
20 Sep 19 Reply I'm confident that I haven't violated the copyright. I ask myself "what is the same between the two", and answer only some of the colors. All else is original.

However, I don't know if it's acceptable for PSA competitions.

20 Sep 19 Comment This image was interesting enough for me to study. My preference would be be to reduce the texture. Perhaps the composition would interest me more if the branch was angled rather than almost perfectly straight across. I most like the detail in the fruit. Sep 1st
20 Sep 19 Comment I can't see what Billy sees, but I think it's a very interesting abstract.

I've been playing with Studio 2 for a couple weeks and really like it. I found some bugs but when it's full development is reached, I expect it to replace Photoshop in my workflow. For the first time I find the use of layers intuitive and easy. Studio 2s creative potential is boundless.As a learning exercise, I was able to quickly make a dozen variations of a single image very precisely.

20 Sep 19 Comment Excellent! I have a number of old window frame pictures, but I especially like this one because of the latch, chain and that it's slightly agar. Even the missing piece of frame adds to my interest. Sep 1st
20 Sep 19 Comment I prefer the textured version, but I feel the contrast in the detail around the lighthouse is too strong. I also think the lighthouse is tilted slightly to the right. Sep 1st
20 Sep 19 Comment Excellent choice and use of texture. Blended well with a clear focus point. This excellent image offers many possibilities for additional variations by dodging additional areas of interest. Sep 1st
20 Sep 19 Comment Mystically beautiful! Don't change a thing. Sep 1st
20 Sep 19 Reply Yes, I used polar coordinates. I made this a year ago, and now I have another idea to try. I always have fun. Sep 1st
20 Sep 19 Reply Good idea but I will use the black pattern that has been flipped. I must make a note for myself because I won't have access to a computer for a few weeks. Sep 1st

39 Sep 19 Comment Fantastic! Great detail and tonal range. Just fix the bottom left.

It's taken me years to learn that these SW images of sandstone look best to me in monochrome.

39 Sep 19 Comment This has to appeal to me because I must have stood just to the left of your position when I captured a similar 3 vertical pano last Nov. I have more of the tree on the left, none of the tree on the right, and less of the top. Perhaps, your tonal range is better than what I recall of mine.

Sorry, i'm In Venice and can't show you my image for comparison. And I thought mine was unique! Ha.
Obviously, great minds .......

64 Sep 19 Comment Yes, now flip horizontally. Sep 17th
64 Sep 19 Comment This is a wonderful graphic image! So much so that it doesn't have to represent a pipe organ. I would rotate it counter-clockwise. Does that appeal to you? Sep 17th
64 Sep 19 Comment I think increasing contrast in the clouds would detract from the absolute tranquility of the location. Sep 17th
64 Sep 19 Comment This is the first time I have ever seen a mono sunflower, and I'm surprised by how appealing it is to me. Excellent! I would like the greenery in the bottom left corner removed though. Sep 17th
64 Sep 19 Comment Beautiful image! It makes me curious to see more detail in the background,but perhaps it's just lost on my iPad. That's all I have available while traveling though. Currently in Northern Italy. Sep 17th
64 Sep 19 Reply Yes, the cumulus clouds were unusual for the location, because rain wouldn't be expected for 2 months. Sep 12th
64 Sep 19 Reply I appreciate your comments, but what is especially striking about this mountain is that it's surrounded by 100 miles of flat scrub desert land. The only breathing thing in the area is within the passing autos. I could clone in some teepees and riders on horses but I won't. Sep 11th
64 Sep 19 Comment Excellent mood/ story. I assume you had to tilt the camera because there was no room behind you to step, but I would have preferred to see 2 images stitched in that case. Unfortunately, I'm forced to view this on my phone while traveling this month so my view of detail could be better. With that in mind, I suggest brightening the reflection of the barberslightly.

64 Sep 19 Comment Iknow exactly where you laid to capture this image. I have stayed at Simpson's Lodge there a total of 10 nights over 4 visits including celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary there with our children and grandchildren. I know I didn't lie on the wet shoreline to capture this angle. When I return from Italy I'll check my files. Only interested in color until recently so I was more concerned about compositions with those bushes in bloom.
Your choice of lens made the image excellent as does the foreground rocks and framing. My widest was 18mm but I made some panoramics including sunrise images looking perhaps 45 degrees left and standing in a different spot. Great memories!
In all the still early mornings and evenings there I never saw any better clouds although one might consider cloning some.
Excellent.

64 Sep 19 Reply Yes I submitted image 2 by mistake.
I expect to be able to recover the lost detail. I think over application of clarity would caused it.
