66 Aug 20 Comment Hi John, Thanks for your kind comment. I did use Topaz de-noise and sharpen. Is this what you wanted to know? Aug 23rd
66 Aug 20 Reply Wow Chuck! Thanks for for the very undeserved compliment. Aug 23rd
66 Aug 20 Reply Palli, Thanks for your kind words. I think you are referring to the sign in the upper right. I do understand why it is bothering you. It may well be a better image without it. For me it is part of the story of this area. I cannot expect my viewers to see that without having been there. Aug 23rd
66 Aug 20 Reply Thanks for pointing out the sky. I do see it and will fix it. Aug 23rd
66 Aug 20 Reply Gary, You have really made me think about the fact that this is not an obvious IR image. I have looked at some of my IR images and there certainly are many, especially in architecture, which have nothing that says IR. For me I think that IR is a tool that I like to use to create mono images. Maybe I am wrong? Aug 23rd
66 Aug 20 Comment Hi Emil.
Great find! I love that the sailors are all facing us, seemingly to be looking right at us, and the line of the boats is perfect. You were blessed with a lovely sky which makes for a very interesting backdrop. I would not crop it, it is fine as it is, but I may consider adding canvas to the right and taking some away from the left to give the boats more space to move.		 Aug 8th
66 Aug 20 Comment Hi Palli,
Bare lone trees are always interesting and you have found a good one. I like your processing and you have managed to lighten and darken areas to make the tree really stand out. I am not a fan of the boarder, I think it distracts from the star of the show. 		Aug 8th
66 Aug 20 Comment Hi Gary,
I always feel a little jealous of your plethora of barns that you come across. Not too many to be found in Southern Florida. This truly a lovely scene with gorgeous sky and really well placed trees. I understand the problems in processing because of the very contrasting light. I think that the sepia tone is a little heavy and has created some muddiness. I worked only in your shadow areas, not wanting to loose detail in the brighter bits. What do you think? 		Aug 8th
66 Aug 20 Comment Hi Chuck.
My immediate reaction to your image was to block out the left hand side. without the closer foliage, this image really works. It's really a sign of our times and leaves us longing! The touches of blue are just right for the scene.
Probably an oversight on your part but I think we all agree that we need the whole chair.		 Aug 8th
66 Aug 20 Comment Jack,
As you say something different and unexpected, certainly in IR. The circle of light is marvelous and of course makes the simple image interesting. I do think that darkening the grain base will make the spade pop as right now the tones are so similar. Either way, I am enjoying it. 		Aug 8th
66 Aug 20 Comment Hi John, So nice to have you join our group.
This is a great subject for IR. I do like the cool toning you have chosen. There is an overall sameness within the tones which is easily adjustable to create more contrast. I wonder if you would consider cropping to take the gazebo off center. After looking at your original, a little off the left would do the trick.		 Aug 8th
