Hi Maria, Your clover shows beautifully with the out of focus background. The falloff of focus towards the back of the flower gives depth. I would remove the out of focus leaf on the left. I would also crop a little off the bottom and some on the left. Let me know what you think. |

Diana, this is such a gentle, romantic look. You say that you rotated the image but I wonder if it would look better with the stem at an angle and a slightly different crop. Some brightening of the center might be a good idea. I have enjoyed looking at it. |

Dick, My initial reaction was that this is festive and so fitting for this time of year. That being said, this image is masterful. The focus is fantastic. You show your true understanding of flower photography. Just a tiny quibble, I would repair the tip of the top left petal. |

Gary, I really like your crop. It is a different version of what was captured. Thanks for lightening the eye. I thought I had. See my reply to Jack as to why infrared. |

Thanks Jack. Of the five cameras we had on this trip, we lost 3. All are now repaired. I was left with either my cell phone or IR camera. I chose to do this entire project in IR and on the whole I'm more than pleased with the results. I do understand that it does give an entirely different look. |

Hi Henry, How wonderfully smart of you to crop where you did to create this beautiful image. Your processing is great and I'm really enjoying looking at it. Well done! |

Hi Emil, Like you I was fascinated by the badlands. Just so different to anywhere else. As far as I can see, contrast could be added to the mountain and grasses while leaving that beautiful sky alone. |

Hi Palli, Your processing is fantastic. The tonality is perfect for the subject. I do wish that you had something of yourself in it too. |

Hi Gary, It's truly amazing what we can now do with our images, old and new. You saw something special in your old image or you would not have spent the time working on it. It almost works for me. Think you choose a great farmhouse to replace the old one. I do like the lead in planks you put in. They do look like they had been there for years, although I would not have used the left one. So what's my problem? There is something strange between the two buildings that does not look natural. Your replacement sky is very noisy, I thought the original was fine. Even so, I'm jealous that you are able to do this so well. I have a lot to learn. |

Well seen Jack, I'm drawn into the image and my eye travels right through it. More contrast is a personal choice. The lead ins are so good that the slight out of focus is not seen until you point it out. |

Arik, Firstly, I really want to thank you for the wonderful and very instructive AI program. I certainly have a lot to learn and will choose very carefully where I will use it.
Your image this month really invokes emotion. We can all choose our own story about your main subject. I think your gentle processing is lovely. I wonder how it will look if you keep the blue on you subject while removing it from the rest of the people. He may stand out even more? Your black and white also works very well |
