Alison This is a lovely Orchid photo. A white line or simple border separating your image background from the infinity space. Marilyn and Shirley have used some lovely borders on their photos in past entries. You can browse to see them. Flowers on black always look dramatic but they do need a visual edge. |

I have seen so many tromp Loi images where they are painted to have the 3D effect. This is awesome. I'm convinced it is a real truck that crashed through a parking Garage wall! Great fun photo. There is a red car sticking out of a building in Rotterdam. (if I can find photo will post) |

As a portrait I like the original better. His eyes are very sharp, and the look is dramatic, and the cropped hat and angel has drama. The Larger image is more friendly, and he is looking directly at the viewer which is important. |

Marilyn. Love your Painting. You have applied the Topaz filter very nicely giving it a natural painterly style. The colors are well done. border background and foreground all work perfectly together.

Richard. I love to capture contrast images but keep reading that they are difficult to work with. start with a Preset in either Lightroom or PS Camera Raw
Your image is in focus, but it is over saturated (apears blurry) too much extreme black to white contrast. you did good to fill in the blown-out area. for fun I took your image into photoshop camera raw and tried several times to reduce black. In camera Raw or Lightroom basic hold down Alt key on PC and shift the black slider to right watch histogram I did this three times. I then went to PS and Played with the Black sliders in in PS. This is just one way you can change saturation. Adding more orange color to the leaves in background would be nice. Also, Camera settings may help - search on camera setting for High Contrast images. |

Thanks Marilyn. I have done many edits of this image. Are you saying the yellow is a bit overdone? will try. It might also soften the green a bit. Posted: 11/16/2022 09:04:05 |
