66 Mar 21 Reply Thanks Jack, This looks great Mar 7th
66 Mar 21 Reply Thanks Gary, I does work. I'm thinking that the sky could certainly use the punch, and maybe leave the water as is, but vignette a little more. Mar 7th
66 Mar 21 Reply Palli and Jack, Thanks for showing a different version. I do agree that it is a much stronger version of the tree. I did record that tree often at different times of the day with all kinds of compositions. This time, I did want to show a wide view which probably reminds me of the time and place and not unexpectedly, is not shared by my viewers. Mar 7th
66 Mar 21 Comment Hi Jack, It's simple, it's clean and has your signature all over it. It's one of those "I wish I had seen this" images. The diagonal lines in the gorgeous sky seems to make it lean even more. Mar 7th
66 Mar 21 Comment Hi Chuck, A really cool scene, well captured. Ah that tree! I think your idea of content aware is what it needs. I don't think that just cropping it out works, as the tree framing really adds to the image. I would like to see more contrast in the water to show off the reflections and separate it from the surrounding foliage. I also seems that there is even more detail to be found in those interesting clouds. Mar 7th
66 Mar 21 Comment Hi Gary, your wonderful eye saw that the was a picture to be had, even if you did not record it perfectly. Conversion and tones are as usual lovely. I have been bothered by the leaf on the right, even though you faded it away. Took it into Photoshop to see what it looked like after removing it. Once there, I cropped it too, as it looked even stronger with about half the sky make a more panorama view. Wondering what you think? Mar 7th
66 Mar 21 Comment Hi Palli, Your favored blue tint works well here. I like that you cropped to offset it, but think that the clouds are more interesting on the right side, so I would have placed the lighthouse more to the left. I am wondering about your original, as there is water shown in your final. If you did add it, it was a good idea. Mar 7th
66 Mar 21 Comment Hi Emil, This is beautifully composed and shows the bridge to it best advantage. Generally your conversion is good. I did try some detail extractor and found it to be too crunchy as you thought. I really like the sky and would not like to see changes there. So my thought is that there is happy ground somewhere between what you show and Gary's version. I do agree on the small structure removal as others have noted. Mar 7th
