52 Jul 22 Comment Thanks everyone for your feedback. Very much appreciated. Jul 17th
52 Jul 22 Comment I'm going with our interpretation 100%. I love your processing and the vision it took to see and create this image. Wonderful job. I can't think of a single thing to add to a wonderful image. Jul 10th
52 Jul 22 Comment The carcass seems amazingly intact given the exposed skeleton. It looks like it had been there awhile. I might suggest removing the highlights, which look more natural in the original to me. Possibly raise up the shadows a bit to make them a bit less dense. Jul 10th
52 Jul 22 Comment This would look beautiful over a sofa. I like it just as is but might play a bit with the punchiness factor to make it a bit more dynamic. It might take away from the calm and peace mentioned by Lisa, but, as always, could be an alternate interpretation worth looking at.

I made it less of a panoramic image and added some masks in LR to bring more color to the sky. 		Jul 10th
52 Jul 22 Comment Your image brings back memories of my first Milky Way photography. So exciting. In answer to your question, I think your foreground could be raised even a bit further. What I've learned in night photography is that it's often a good idea to take a long exposure for the foreground, at a lower ISO and then combine it with an image of the sky. As long as the tripod isn't moved, it should combine well. I might suggest dodging a bit of light on the river water. Being a non-purist, I would remove the glow of light river over the river, to the right of the trees, and also on the right side. I think their is a little lens distortion as the horizon looks curved to me. Lightroom should be able to fix that. Processing the sky portion is very subjective and I like how you've handled it. Great job. Jul 10th
52 Jul 22 Comment I decided to play with your processed image. I might have done better with the original but didn't think of it until after I was finished. I wanted to see how it looked taking the yellow out of the water, which didn't look natural to me. I did a lot of dodging and burning and painted in some clarity to the water. I added a bit of haze the the background by going negative with the dehaze slider in LR. The rock in the lower right is controversial in my own mine. I agree with Lisa but also felt it may distract from the wonderful falls. So, merely as an alternative to consider, I darkened it a bit. A great image to play with. Jul 10th
52 Jul 22 Comment I love it. You have eye contact on both subjects and both are in focus. Lovely background and I even like the curve of the stick. I did feel that it was a little tight on the right side and looked at the original to see if you had more room. I noticed you mistakenly posted a different image as the original but I suspect that there is some room you could add on that side, and maybe take off just a bit on the left side without cutting off the branch that is sticking up.
