52 Aug 21 Reply Thanks Sharon. Good feedback. I gave the shooting star thought when I selected this frame to process and merge with the foreground. I weighed whether it distracted/detracted vs. added interest and landed on the added interest side. That said, it was a concern and I appreciate the question. As to the pinkness, it may be but I kind of like that look. I often add a touch of magenta to images mainly because I like the look. Realism always takes a back seat in my coach. That said, maybe I should either take it out or add some to the surf so they match. Good point out.

52 Aug 21 Comment I think you did a great job minimizing the impact of the busy background and drawing attention to the subject. Nice work on the exposure correction. The bright flower behind the leading butterfly serves the purpose of highlighting the antennea. However, its brightness, and that of the others that are bright in the background are a bit distracting. Just a nitpick. I like the balance you achieved in the crop. Very nice. Aug 6th
52 Aug 21 Comment I like it too. The layers and your post processing to bring out the warmth in the sky is lovely. Nice job. I don't have any suggestions. Aug 6th
52 Aug 21 Comment I like this image a lot and echo what you and Jamie said about the colors. It's like a lively collage. In bouncing between the finished and the original, I'd like to see a comparison where there was a little bit more room on the right. Maybe a slightly different aspect ratio on the crop. Not an opinion, I'm just curious as it whether it would be an improvement or not. Either way, it's wonderful. Aug 6th
52 Aug 21 Comment Thanks for sharing your thought process Judith, it adds to the background both of the making of the image and the post processing. I like what you did a lot. When I looked at the original, I also found it distracting although I liked the round circles. Even they, however, seemed distracting to me as too bright and attention getting. I like that you took out the top of the stake as well. Great job and I don't have much to offer. If it were mine, I'd go to 100% and go around the image removing small bright spots that, because they are so muted aren't a problem, but I feel the image would be better without them. For example, betweent he petals on the viewer's right are a couple of spots. Nice work! Aug 6th
