22 Feb 18 Comment Kaylin -- a really nice and creative look. Maybe the only thing that is needed here is to pick out a different image of a horse, one where the horse is headed toward the viewer and one that is not so much of a butt shot. Don't know if this would make it any better, but maybe just select out the horse (you wouldn't have to be to careful -- after all this is a ghost horse) and brighten it a bit and then use the blur tool if needed for the final look. And this is only my personal obsession, but keep the horse off center. Still, a very good job.

22 Feb 18 Comment I'm going to agree with Kaylin here. The overlay is just too strong, in fact it appears you are just looking through a very dirty window. Also, the light blue area at the top pulls your eyes upward and away from the boat and water. The border could be a bit more narrow, but I like the torn and translucent look. Feb 12th
22 Feb 18 Comment Flawless job of replacing the original sky with a much more dramatic one. You added color to the building just right -- not overdone. I'm always of two minds about how to approach perspective in tall buildings. In reality your mind does see the top recede into the distance, but when translated to two dimensions it make the subject look like it's toppling over backwards. On the other hand it would look weird if the sides of the building were parallel with the sides of the borders, although there are times this can be pulled off. I think Joe's solution was a nice compromise. A beautiful picture!
BTW what do you guys mean by "keystone?"		 Feb 12th
22 Feb 18 Comment You did a really good job technically of matching the two images up -- but maybe a few points.. Joe -- you're going to hate this -- leveled the playing field (literally) which eliminated the feeling that the riders were running downhill. The rails on the right side seem to be brought in from a third image, even if they haven't been -- perhaps because they are noticeably brighter than the rails they meet or because they lack texture and detail. To pick up on Kaylin's point, I often zoom in the point that I can begin to see individual pixels while I'm using the selection brush; this all depends on how much time and patience you want to devote to the picture. Finally, putting aside for the moment that this was an exercise in combing images, if you were going to enter this in a composition, this image is all about the polo players and
for the sake of composition you should eliminate the fences and crop in much closer to the subject -- which is a very good action shot of athletes going at it hard.		 Feb 12th
22 Feb 18 Comment You picked a difficult subject to select out with all of the detail on the pier structure, but you did quite well with it. One thing I noticed is that the light house has that thin white outline around it that suggests a cut-out. Maybe you did that intentionally to separate it out from the background. To me, the light house is too centered. Overall, a nice mood to the image. Feb 12th
