26 Jan 18 Comment WElcome. This is a lovely portrait. I don't see a probelm with the dark area of the animal's neck. It actually enhances the feeling of the natural curves in the animal. I might consider cropping up to the first showing of the mane on the neck. Using masks or the photoshop blur tool set to "darken"I would blur and darken the background (not too dramatically, maybe 10-15%) Most of the white spots need to be cloned out by copying other surrounding leaves on them. Thanks for sharding this with us Jan 10th
26 Jan 18 Comment You handled the color, tones and contrast really well. I think the problem is that you are too far away from the curved stairs. The stairway is the most interesting part of the scen and the reason I guess you took the picture. Could nnot you have handled thdistrations by loning,, blurring, or darkeneing? Jan 10th
26 Jan 18 Comment A great still life. I'm just ow starting to work with Luminar. Except for the excessive time irt seems to take to process an image for a merge or export, I like it very much.I think that some noise from your high ISO setting helps your photo. What strength did you use for the "grundge filter?" I think it might be better had a weaker setting. Try it. Jan 10th
26 Jan 18 Comment You have executed this photograph beautifully, and captured the full range of tones. There is a mystery here that I think you could develop more in the bright area in the center. If you could tone it down and increase the contrast there might be the suggestion of an image behind it. If so then you might consider cropping out all of the outside wall. Make a duplicate first because the photo as it is is a keeper. Jan 10th
26 Jan 18 Comment I wouldn't change anything. I have just started to experiment with HDR to develop detail. You reallyhandle it beautfully Jan 10th

47 Jan 18 Comment Well done. It looks to me as if all the flowers are sharp I think was may be making the vase seem a bit soft are the bright reflections, but I like the rendering of the vase just as it is. I would try opening up the deep shadows o the blossom on the left. I think if there would be more of the flower, the pathos in the subject would be more pronounced. Jan 10th
47 Jan 18 Comment This is a photo that I wish I had made. The way you captured the tones in the flower is really great. I thin I ight crop away some ofd the black. It is more dead space then I like, but that is purely a subjective response. Jan 10th
47 Jan 18 Comment I agree with Don. You could get rid of the clutter on the right side by cloning, so you don't really need that very strong and kind of un-realistic shadow. Personally I like her expression and concentration on her work better than the "original", but the other looks to me like she has just become aware of the photographer and thus tells the story a little differently. Jan 10th
47 Jan 18 Comment I agree with Jack and Don, but I would crop the bottom past the point where the back two legs of the triangular foreground tiles (?) begin Jan 10th
47 Jan 18 Comment I think there are two really strong images and together they seem to fight each other. The sky and back ground dunes are wonderful, but they are, in my opinion, overpowered by the foreground dune, which is also beautifully rendered.
One image would be to crop at the top of ;the background dues; the other image would be a crop of at least 3/4 of the foreground dune.

That said- the execution is superb. The handling of the IR is particularly good as you avoid the over contrast that one sees in IR that I personally don't care for.

47 Jan 18 Comment Very dramatic and almost surreal. The bright area between the two hills in theright background is a bit distracting, Can you darken it? Otherise this is a super photo Jan 9th
