26 Apr 23 Comment Pictures in the mist provide wonderful opportunities, with its muted colors and mood created.
I prefer your final crop which provides the best balance. I find Bob's crop a little too tight as it puts the tree right on the edge of the frame.
I would remover the vertical structure sticking up into the sky just to the left of the walkers, as my eye keeps going there!		 Apr 10th
26 Apr 23 Comment Ahh! You have captured the magical hour showing the golden light on the mountain peaks. I do prefer Kirsti's version as it lights up the foreground and helps my eye to travel through the landscape from bottom left to those mountain peaks. Apr 10th
26 Apr 23 Comment Jose, I am always amazed that you are able to see abstract creations in our everyday living. Lucky not to have pedestrians on the escalators. Did you go back several times to get the clear view or was it pure luck?
I like the perspective and the lines leading me down to the 2 pedestrians at the bottom.		 Apr 10th
26 Apr 23 Reply Thanks Kirsti.
I did play around with the bench to try to make it stand out. But whatever I tried did not help. As you said the tones are too similar.		 Apr 10th
26 Apr 23 Comment Your final result is quite amazing considering how much you cropped it. What was the original file size?
I would also crop some off the top as Jose has suggested.
I don't mind the out of focus leaves at the bottom as they form a sort of frame and fill n some of that negative space.		 Apr 10th
26 Apr 23 Comment Your composition is well balanced and congratulations on achieving this in the camera. The colors are vibrant and strong and make the image pop. I think that the blue and pink compliment each other and so I would not change them.
I agree that this is a picture that could hang on your wall.		 Apr 10th

69 Apr 23 Comment The orange tones here are very pleasing, but it is the backlighting which makes this image so special.
I agree with Pierre's suggestion to keep in some of the water in the foreground to add extra interest and act as a lead in line. However I would clone out the water in the lower right corner, as this bright area draws my eye away from the beautiful subject, the horse.		 Apr 22nd
69 Apr 23 Comment I also prefer the color version as it shows the beautiful brown and gold colors in the rock. I also like the composition with the water flowing from top right to the centre at the bottom.
Did you try a slow shutter speed, about 1/4secs. to provide a silky appearance to the water?		 Apr 10th
69 Apr 23 Comment You captured the action really well and the tongue catches my eye immediately.
Please crop a little from the top to eliminate those few leaves hanging into the frame.		 Apr 10th
69 Apr 23 Comment The orchid does stand out from the background but I would suggest darkening the top left corner even more.
I love the sharpness achieved in the two main flowers.		 Apr 10th
69 Apr 23 Comment I have photographed these egrets many times but have never been able to find the backlight in the right position as you have here. The feathers are well shown and there is enough light on the front of the bird.
My only suggestion is to remove the highlights on the leaves jut below the beak.		 Apr 10th
69 Apr 23 Comment What a great capture! The bird's body is sharp while the wings show the movement of flight. I think it was a good idea leaving the branch in the frame as it adds to the story.
My only complaint is that I prefer more space in front of the bird to "fly into" and make the subject less central.		 Apr 10th
