16 Jan 21 Comment It's always exciting to see dolphins leaping out of the water, and always difficult to catch on camera. You did a good job of capturing them. I would darken the highlights in the back half of the water more (Lightroom has a gradient tool I use), and I use lighten the shadows of the dolphins, even though they are silhouetted by the setting sun.

16 Jan 21 Comment I agree, it is a lovely image. The boats make a beautiful midground, and the sky a beautiful background, though the blue is a bit too saturated for my taste.

I would crop off the bottom of the image, almost back to where the branches in front of the boat begin, so the boat is really the star.

16 Jan 21 Comment Wow! How exciting. I like the vertical format, but would take a bit off the top, if you don't need to preserve the aspect ratio. That would also remove the lens spot that somehow got into your edited image in the upper right corner.

The rams are beautiful, and posed so nicely for you.

I haven't been in snow as a photographer, so I'm no expert about the color that it produces, but I think the blue cast could be removed by unsaturating it.		 Jan 9th
16 Jan 21 Comment I think you can use the brush tool (I use Lightroom). Reduce the exposure, and brush the helmets and shirts until you like the effect. I actually prefer the original, with the green trees and ballpark in the background. The players stand out well and they are the important part of the photo. Jan 4th
16 Jan 21 Comment Great action shot with the ball in mid-air and the batter ready to swing. I'd like to see the shadows lightened enough so the players' heads and shoulders don't blend so much into the black background. Jan 3rd
16 Jan 21 Comment This photo tells a story of the pandemic and you have made your point. Formerly crowded beaches are almost empty. The clouds are lovely, the water looks inviting, but there is only one person to enjoy it all and he is looking down.

You could select and move to the right the sole beachgoer, and then crop some off the left and the sky, to make a more inviting scene, but that's not what you are trying to achieve here.		 Jan 3rd
