83 Nov 25 Reply Thanks Adi! Nov 24th
83 Nov 25 Reply Thanks Michael! I haven't used the tone curve tool for mono images that much...I'll definitely give this a try on future images. I appreciate the suggestion! Nov 24th
83 Nov 25 Comment Hi Hanna...excellent overall composition. I agree with the others on a softer focus on the models face as well as toning down her hands a little. An excellent photo, thanks for sharing. Nov 24th
83 Nov 25 Comment Nice photo of this mountain top and surrounding area. As others have suggested, perhaps look into reducing the highlighted areas to create a more balanced tonal contrast overall. Nov 24th
83 Nov 25 Comment Very nice image. Very nice composition. My only suggestion is to add some overall tonal contrast to the photo. Nov 24th
83 Nov 25 Comment Hi Adi...Excellent image! The overall details and tonality are excellent. I love the various story lines of the many people in the image. I want to pause for each one and contemplate. Again, excellent image...thanks for sharing this! Nov 24th
83 Nov 25 Comment Hi Michael...Very nice photo of these pods. The tonal contrast as well as the textures of the pods are excellent. I agree with Adi on a closer view of the pods. My only suggestion is to blur the leaves on the right to bring more attention to the 2 pods in that area. Very nice...thanks for sharing this! Nov 24th
83 Nov 25 Comment Hi Elsie...This is a very nice and interesting photo. The overall details are sharp and well focused. I like the tighter crop as shown by Michael. The only suggestion would be to brighten the leaf a little to contrast with the darker background. A very well done photo...thanks for sharing! Nov 24th
83 Nov 25 Reply Thanks Elsie! I really like your edits to the photo, great tones. Thanks for doing this! Nov 19th

87 Nov 25 Reply Thanks Chan! I appreciate your comments. Nov 19th
87 Nov 25 Comment Very nice image! I really like the overall sharpness, especially the waterfall. The inclusion of a large portion of the waterfall provides a great overall scale compared the people on the rocks. The people on the rocks with their varied activities is a great story line. Nice work, thanks for sharing this! Nov 8th
87 Nov 25 Comment Very nice image! The playful baby gorilla captures my attention, especially with the straw all over him. Nice control of the depth of field. As far as the sharpness, taking a photo through glass is very difficult and as such the sharpness will vary. Thanks for sharing this! Nov 8th
87 Nov 25 Comment This is very good image with a great story line! My eyes initially focuses on the sharp woman in the near center, then moves along to the other women that are not in focus. I also like the B&W composition of this as I believe various colors would be somewhat distracting. This is a very creative image and I appreciate the creativity and you sharing how you did this. Thanks! Nov 8th
87 Nov 25 Comment Very nice image! I like the overall sharpness, especially with having to take the photo through thick plexiglass. The color scheme is very good and the crop really helps direct the viewer's attention to the leopard. The trees and log surrounding the leopard provides a good framing of the animal. As a suggestion, perhaps look into removing the portion of the tree in the upper right corner and see what this looks like. Thanks for sharing this! Nov 8th
87 Nov 25 Comment Very nice photo! I like the texture of the entryway and the color scheme is perfect. As others have discussed, I also like the enhanced greens as well. You did a great job in LR and PS in enhancing the image and removing items that you didn't want. I also like the B&W version due to the textures in the photo. I noticed in the B&W version you removed a portion of the bush in the lower right corner, giving a more complete view of the chair. As a suggestion, perhaps you could explore this in the final color version to see what this looks like. Thanks for sharing this and, as always, for teaching us! Nov 8th
87 Nov 25 Reply Thanks Will! I like the suggestion to use RAW and my iphone has this option. This is probably my best option, especially if I download to my laptop and use LR Classic (I generally use Snapseed on my phone for editing, but not a fan of how it handles RAW files). Thanks again! Nov 8th
87 Nov 25 Reply Thanks Cindy! Nov 8th
87 Nov 25 Reply Thanks Jennifer! Nov 8th
87 Nov 25 Reply Thanks Steven! Yes, it was very dark, around 11:00pm with few (if any) street lights in the area. I also tried to remove as much noise as I could, but this image was the best I could come up with. I do like your image without the noise...very interesting! Thanks for editing this to show me some options. Nov 3rd
