71 Dec 18 Reply Thank you Trinda! I'll have to look through my photos. I like taking pics of solitary trees, maybe I have one that will work. It will be a further test/learning of my PS skills. haha

Happy New Year!!

71 Dec 18 Comment I love this shot! The reflections are beautiful. I agree with losing some of the dark on the top and bottom to make the boater pop a bit more. Did you crop as 16X9? I use that more and more on my wider shots that I don't want to lose the width. I like the grass of the left to give a little depth. It allows your eye to follow the boater through the water and you see it's a 'channel' of water. (Not sure I'm explaining this well) You did a great job capturing the fall beauty. And it makes me imagine how the boater feels as he floats passed the color. Dec 24th
71 Dec 18 Comment What a dramatic shot!! I love it. I like the tree silhouettes at the bottom. The golden light across the mountain area is a great contrast to the dark top and bottom. It has a fantasy feel about it. I see one little bright spot on the left just above the trees that seems out of place. It's a bright cloud I guess. I wouldn't mind losing that, just to keep my eye from going there. I really, really like this photo! Dec 24th
71 Dec 18 Reply Thank you John!! I tried lightening the ground, but it's a really ugly dirt parking lot. So, I may try and find a morning field and create a composite. Just have to get the light right. i just couldn't pass up that sky. It was amazing. Thanks! Dec 19th
71 Dec 18 Reply Thanks Marla! I will definitely keep the composite idea in mind. I don't mind them, just haven't done a lot. But that's a goal for 2019. I messed with lightening the ground, but it doesn't look great. I'm thinking I have to crop above the tree line for just a sky photo. And then do the composite when I find a nice morning field shot.

71 Dec 18 Comment A great wintery scene! It feels a bit vintage to me. Have you tried it in b/w or sepia? I like the low vantage point with the grass. The church in the fog is a bit mysterious and has a great feel. Did you do luminance in LR to reduce some of the grain? I like this shot a lot. Dec 19th
71 Dec 18 Comment There's a familiar sight! haha Was there over Thanksgiving too. I think you did a great job with stretching the shot. I like that this portion of road had some flow to it, not just straight. It does lead to the red rocks. I think black/white could be a good choice with the contrasting dark and light tones. It might give the fog some character. I like the shot. Would like to see your b/w version too! Dec 16th
71 Dec 18 Comment Beautiful shot! Love the sand ripples and the curve that moves you farther into the shot. It feels very balanced with the rocks. Wondering if a little more saturation of the orange would give it a more definitive sunrise feel? Just curious. I wouldn't mind cloning out the tip of the mountain in the far background. My eye keeps being drawn there.

It's a lovely shot even if you don't change anything! Would love to visit that way again.

71 Dec 18 Reply Thank you Theresa! The dark is an unsightly rural parking lot type place, so I'll see what I can do. I believe the warp is the natural ground incline. I did do a lens correction and leveling the horizon. I'm going to work on it some more. Dec 8th
71 Dec 18 Reply Thank you Mike! I will try and lighten. The problem is it's an ugly rural parking lot type place. Nothing nice about it. haha I will see if I can make any unsightly parts disappear. Will also work on the trees. Dec 8th
