26 Sep 20 Reply Thank you for your suggestions. I agree that this looks better. Do you think it is an improvement? Sep 10th
26 Sep 20 Comment Welcome to our group, Fatih. I look forward to seeing many more of your images and learning about your part of the world.

I love the balance in this picture between the old man on the left and children on the right. The houses in the background have complimentary colors, the green and orange in particular being complimentary colors. The path leading all the way to the back provides great depth.
I have photographed extensively in Soweto, South Africa , to show a different life to what we live in the modern cities. I invite you to look back at previous rounds of Group 26.		 Sep 10th
26 Sep 20 Comment What an interesting mistake! I am pleased that you did not throw it away, as you have created a most pleasing abstract.
I have used this technique quite frequently with trees in a forest to get a mysterious appearance that differs from reality. Of course its all hit and miss depending on the speed and direction that you move the camera. I am lucky to get 1 decent image out of 20 tries.		 Sep 10th
26 Sep 20 Comment You've done as much as you can to improve the image from your original. I agree with all Jose's comments. I would also like to see a little more "gold"in the leaves. Sep 10th
26 Sep 20 Comment It's great to see 2 nature images this month.
The tern is perfectly sharp and there is added interest in the patterns in the water. The image does look a little noisy. Have you tried the Topaz Denoise AI filter? I find it does an excellent job. I would also reduce the brightness in the birds left wing. 		Sep 10th
26 Sep 20 Comment Well done for getting so close to your subject. Our modern technology is amazing as you have shown us in this perfectly sharp picture. The out of focus petals in the background don't bother me. I agree that the leaf on bottom right is a distraction, but I see you have now removed it.
BTW does PSA nature rules accept focus stacking? I don't see why they should not.		 Sep 10th

69 Sep 20 Comment The reduction in the bright yellow area is a big improvement and you seem to have enhanced the texture in the rock face. well done.
We were in this canyon 2 years ago in October, when the sun is NOT visible in the canyon at all. I will have to go back at a different time of year.		 Sep 25th
69 Sep 20 Reply Yep. Big improvement. Sep 16th
69 Sep 20 Comment Your eagle is beautifully sharp and well portrayed. I agree with Brenda's suggestion to add more space in front of the bird. The bloody feet and face show the action that obviously took place. Sep 7th
69 Sep 20 Comment Your title seeks to suggest that there is a person(climber) in the image, which I searched for and couldn't find, so Stephens title is more appropriate.
You have brought out great detail in the red rocks, but I would tone down the yellow somewhat.		 Sep 7th
69 Sep 20 Comment Good job on the black and white conversion. Your technique improves every month. My only suggestion is to lighten the stamen area in the lower portion of the flower as that is where my eye wants to go first. Sep 7th
69 Sep 20 Comment Another superb image and really a work of art. Love the clean black background. Sep 7th
69 Sep 20 Comment The sharpness that you have achieved here is amazing, from wing tip to tip. It obviously helps that the wings are more or less in the same plane. Your focus stacking technique has really complimented this picture. Well done.
I might reduce the saturation of the green in the background to compete less with the fly.		 Sep 7th
69 Sep 20 Comment I love the horizontal layers of light and dark going all the way through this landscape. Well done for getting up so early in the morning to catch this magical light! I believe you have enough detail in the shadow area, so I would not open up any more. Sep 7th
69 Sep 20 Comment I used Larrys suggestion to open the eyes and crop some of the water. Sep 5th
