Thanks for all the good comments. I lean toward a bit of over processing. Hopefully recognizing it and expecting, in years hence, I'll look back and say, why did I do that. That said, I liked the color treatment but agreed that the distant rocks and sky were problematic. I did bracket the shot and combined an underexposed version with a little cloning in this version. Thanks for helping me out. |

That what makes this fun, our different perspectives and tastes. |

It was the bird I was talking about. I didn't notice the other spot. It's difficult to say, just from looking at a small res image, if the bird adds or subtracts from the composition. It just looks like a dark spot to my old eyes at this resolution. |

Nice one. I like the center in focus slowly working its way out of focus as my eye moves outward. A slight vignette might be worth trying to further bring attention into the center. |

Great job Tom. You captured so well the red feathers of the neck and body, the real star of the show. The background is perfect for this image. No suggestions to offer. |

Very nice John. You captured very interesting lines formed by the trees, hills and mountains and the scene fits your description well. I think it's wonderful just as it is and don't have any suggestions. |

Another gorgeous fall scene. This is definitely a landscape month for the group. I felt that the grass in the foreground detracted from the beauty of the scene and thought the composition would look better as a pano. I also brushed in more light, texture and color to the trees and attempted to subtly bring out more texture in the sky. I'm curious to see if you see it as an improvement or not. |

This is a fantastic scene and the composition is perfect to my eye. Great fall colors, running water and a nice bend in the stream leading to the bridge and hills. I went a different way with the processing. I wanted the eye to be led down the stream and in your processed image I felt somewhat anchored to the bright rocks in the foreground. I was also bothered by the darkness of the trees on the right, that weren't that way in the original. I dodged and burned and added clarity and texture to the stream, attempting to darken the foreground a bit and lighten an area leading down the stream. I also added a slight vignette. |

I think this is wonderful and I think you did a great job in post, bringing out the vibrance of the scene. I like the reflection and the general composition itself, with the nice curving beach leading toward the Tufas. I was distracted a bit, probably due to the small size we can see at this resolution of the dark point on the top of the viewer's left side of the image. It almost looks like a bird but I presume it's just the shadow of rock. In any case, I would dodge it a bit or, if permitted by the rules of any competition you are entering, remove it. I also might play with the sky. I can't be specific but maybe tone down the blue just a touch. I would just play and leave it how it looks best to you, maybe just the way it is. Wonderful image that I think has great competition potential. |
