24 May 23 Comment Here's a redo of the image. Hopefully it's a bit better. May 27th
24 May 23 Comment It's surprising to me that the softness of this image is not as distracting as I first thought. I do think it could use a little touch of clarity. I was also bothered a bit by the top leaf being cut off. Here's my modifications. Thoughts? May 27th
24 May 23 Comment Very thought-provoking, Fred. The black squiggles of the background I feel are pulling too much focus, so I removed them. Thoughts? May 27th
24 May 23 Comment This is just gorgeous. Nothing to suggest. May 27th
24 May 23 Comment Bev - your main image and original are the same image. Can we see the actual original? May 27th
24 May 23 Reply Closest thing to Vivesa's Structure would be a combination of Clarity & Texture in Lightroom. May 21st

53 May 23 Comment Miriam definitely finished your image well. I like the reflection as a focal point in the window. May 27th
53 May 23 Comment Lovely image, especially after Miriam's crop. I can't think of anything else I would change. May 27th
53 May 23 Comment Love the fall colors and the leading line of the fence.

I cropped a little in from the left to move the main tree onto the third line, removed the red in the bottom left and reworked your sky colors. Thoughts?		 May 27th
53 May 23 Comment I think the crop Rusty suggested worked well. I did a little dodging to give more emphasis to the sunbeams. Thoughts? May 27th
53 May 23 Comment Fun, Rusty! I imagine you saw a lot of the back end of this bird.

I took it into Photoshop, darkened the grass, added clarity to the bird. Thoughts?		 May 27th
53 May 23 Comment I totally agree with the crop. I also brightened their eyes a bit and darkened the grass some to help the cats pop more May 26th

95 May 23 Comment I think the rock AND shells are distracting from the great shot of the frog. Here's my take on it. Thoughts? May 27th
95 May 23 Comment For any insects, the head - and eyes especially - are essential. It's rather hard to get a good shot when you're rushing, so set aside more time. I also suggest you get a set of insect pins - size 0 - to help you position your subjects for the best effect. May 27th
95 May 23 Reply How about "Membranes"? May 27th
95 May 23 Comment Perfect title, Pat! The cookie in the background really sets the context for image. May 27th
95 May 23 Comment Great detail and composition. The flower really pops nicely. My only gripe is that too much of the leaves and their hairs are in focus, actually pulling focus away from the flower. Here's my take. Thoughts? May 27th
95 May 23 Comment I think you got the most important part of the mantis in focus - the head. The only issue I found was the background behind the insect's head. I desaturated that area to help pop the mantis' head. Thoughts? May 27th
95 May 23 Comment Lovely colors and definitely draws the eye towards the tiny flower. I feel the DOF was just a touch too shallow and so added a bit of clarity to the closer petals. Thoughts? May 27th
