16 Dec 18 Comment Beautiful portrait of a young woman, nicely posed and composed. But, like Walter, I prefer the color image. The image lost sharpness in the translation to black and white, and the cloning of the white on her arm is always a tough challenge. Dec 9th
16 Dec 18 Comment Great bird photo with pleasing reflections, after days of waiting.

All of the space at the top detracts from the impact. I would crop both the bird on the left and some of the water at the top. "Experts" say that groups should always be an odd number - and in this case, I believe that 3 would be better than 4, both to make the grouping an odd number and to allow for cropping the upper part while maintaining the aspect ratio.

16 Dec 18 Comment It is a beautiful flower - lovely colors - enhanced by the curving stem coming from the left. Good composition.

I agree with Bogdan that a much lower ISO and shutter speed would have served you better. You got a lot of noise and it wasn't necessary on a sunny day. Also, you somehow lost the sharpness of the flower in post-processing. Not sure how, but it would be useful for you to figure out how that happens.		 Dec 9th
16 Dec 18 Comment I too like that you copied the top border. Great idea. And I love the colorful background, but agree about dimming the wires in the bulbs. Dec 9th
16 Dec 18 Reply Good suggestion - to use the original rather than the HDR. I didn't notice. Thank you. And thanks to all 3 of you for pointing out that the top red boat has to go. Now I agree.

16 Dec 18 Comment Your early rising paid off. You got a beautiful sky as a background for the guard. I like the edits which lightened the darkness in the lower third of the image, as well as the sky. I would use Noise Reduction/Luminance in Lightroom to smooth out the grain in the sky. Dec 5th
16 Dec 18 Reply I appreciate your comments - and love the bird on the boat. I'll give it a try. Dec 5th
