52 Sep 23 Reply Thanks Pamela. Another good suggestion. Sep 18th
52 Sep 23 Comment All good points which I agree with. From all the comments. We raced to get to this position and this was the best interaction I was able to capture. The giraffe just weren't cooperating! Thanks for the good critiques. Sep 17th
52 Sep 23 Comment Thanks Ann. That bothers me as well but when I processed it I decided to live with it. It might be worth going back and changing the blue hue to something warmer. I appreciate the input. Sep 13th
52 Sep 23 Comment The flower is beautiful and your image has a lot of initial impact. I am distracted by the yellow behind the stamen in your processed image, which are a key part of the flower and make that part harder to distinguish. In your dark orange mottled background, which shows on the screen as Original but is an alternative processing, that problem was largely resolved. I would do the same here. There are also artifacts around the edges of the petals which I suspect were generated by something in post, as I don't see that in the original. Possibly you applied some noiseware produced this effect? I use Topaz a lot and when I apply it's sharpener, I get similar effects and usually only add a bit of sharpening with that program, here and there. Sep 3rd
52 Sep 23 Comment I love the scene and the tonality of the image in general. It's a pleasure to look at. I agree with your thougth process and how you processed it. My only additional input would be to slightly desaturate the green twig that is on the front of the nest. Given my liberal boundaries for my own work, I'd remove it but it's not a big issue with the image. Nice one. Sep 3rd
52 Sep 23 Comment Very cute, and with a flower no less. My suggestion would be to add a bit of exposure to the chipmunks head and darken the grass on the left to somewhat match that in the upper right. Maybe add a blur to the grass as well to help separate the chipmunk from the surroundings. Sep 3rd
52 Sep 23 Comment Great job. I like it a lot. When a background is black, and the area outside the image is black, I often add a tiny white frame so set apart the image from its background. Doing that may also suggest placing the jellyfish differently into the frame, but as I see it now it looks good to me. Another possibility, is to render some artificial light using a radial filter in lightroom, or similar tool, to add a bit of light to the background, attempting to make it look like a spotlight from the side. Just a thought to play with rather than a suggestion. Sep 3rd
52 Sep 23 Comment I like it a lot. I don't use ON1 but whatever tools you used worked beautifully and I like the crop as well. I think it looks great as is and have no suggestions. Sep 3rd
52 Sep 23 Comment I agree with you and like the composition in general. Although the whites of the anole's underside are possibly blown, in this image I don't think it detracts. I've seen many images where blown highlights add to the image and would include this one as well. It is amazing how much information modern sensors capture. My only suggestion would be to clone out the little spikes on the upper and lower left of the stem as they pull me a bit away from the lizard. Your mistake, by the way, is one I make all the time: shoot first, ask questions later! Sep 3rd
