Hung, I feel your bird is beautiful, very sharp, good eye, nice stop action. In my opinion, you can crop the image a bunch to bring out the bird from the busy-ness of the greenery. Once you crop, then I think you can decide how to deal with the rest. My suggestion would be to highlight the greenery to the upper right of his head and then to eliminate all the white spots in the rest of the image. I would love to see your edit rather than mine. |

Thanks Stephen. Researched Mr. Muybridge. Interesting that it took a photographer to prove that all four feet do go off the ground at the same time! |

I like what you did. I tried toning down the canopy but seemed to get it worse the more I tried. I also tried to get rid of what apparently is a ghost on the canopy. Don't know where it came from and did not succeed in getting it corrected. |

No, I did not do any masking (that threatens my level of expertise). I carried it from the right lower ledge towards the left upper, stopping about two thirds. I only adjusted exposure (could decrease whites instead) and dehaze. |

Piers, I love how the fence draws me into the image, as well as all the leading lines going through the image to the mountains. There is so much to view, and I want to keep looking at every detail. I feel you have done a good job in your post processing, perking up the colors some but still leaving the soft inviting look. Beautiful--I want to go there. |

Brenda, I feel you have captured the image of what appears to be a fun young woman. I am terrible with portraits, even family, and believe you have a nice sharp image, good color, beautiful catch light in her eyes, nice bokeh. My eyes are drawn to the bright white on each side (windows?) and perhaps you could tone that down with selective dehazing and maybe vignette. Another possibility I feel might work is crop the picture on the right side just to the left of the bright light, leaving that pretty deep red. Then you could work with the bright section on the left. Such a beautiful woman. |

Laurie, such a beautiful and different flower. In my opinion, you have the basics of a great image, especially with the focus in front being sharp leading to a nice bokeh in the rear and good contrast of inner petals to the outer "skin." It intrigued me wondering what could be done in Lightroom. I downloaded and played with the graduated filter, and it amazed me to see what a big difference it made in adjusting just exposure and dehaze. It changed the background color and made the blossom pop. I didn't want to post mine because I'd like to see you try it. |

Harry, I know nothing about IR and have even thought about converting my older camera to IR, but it is an entirely different world. I already have so much to learn about photography and don't feel I would devote the time needed. I admire you for delving into it. I like the color channels (is that the right way to say it) in choosing the golden colors for the greenery that, to me, gives it a serene appearance. In my opinion the bridge and the couple in the natural colors give it a nice contrast for a focal point. I do feel that the larger leaves in the upper right foreground might carry too much weight to the image but probably could not have been eliminated unless you had a different vantage point. I love it, though. |
