16 Apr 23 Reply Thank you, Mohanan. Very helpful. Now I know. Apr 9th
16 Apr 23 Comment Good action shot. Very smart to use an oval format. If you blur only the background behind the grass, and leave the grass as photographed in the lower half, the image would not look as though it is floating in air. Apr 9th
16 Apr 23 Comment Wow. Great image of a "terrifying" ground beetle, except that it's a macro image so maybe not so scary in person. Great composition, filling the screen from an interesting angle, and great color. Good suggestions from others here, to use focus stacking, or otherwise to increase depth of field, to get more sharpness. Apr 9th

16 Apr 23 Comment Walter, the Corrizo Plains National Monument area looks like a wonderful place to visit and photograph. I have to admit I prefer your original photo. The green hill right of center and the mound of "bushes" left of center, both on the back one-third line, are lovely to see. I don't see either in your cropped image. You seem to have cropped out everything but the far right of your original. What if you crop out everything except for a panorama in the center third in the back? And leave in the distant mountains too. And maybe leave in some of the fence in the foreground. Here are my 2 suggestions. Apr 8th
16 Apr 23 Comment Beautiful image of a lovely cathedral. I liked Mohanan's suggestion for handling the blown-out door by "painting" it a light color. And he put the white back into the bulbs in the chandeliers. When you slide the Highlights too far to the left, the white turns gray. He also corrected the perspective, to keep the side walls from slanting inward. One more thing: When you shoot for symmetry, you have to stand exactly in the center. Otherwise you get not quite symmetrical, as you have done, and it's hard to correct. Might have been better, if you couldn't stand in the center, to move to the right a bit more, and take an angled view, with the door at the one-third line. Apr 8th
16 Apr 23 Comment Beautiful image of model. Her pose, great colors, cropping are perfect. Her face seems softer, less sharp, than the rest of the image. Possibly because of DOF from f/3.7? or from stereo image processing. Seems sharper in original. Maybe you wanted just a softer face for her portrait. Apr 8th
16 Apr 23 Reply Thank you for your suggestions, but I never learned to use curves. Do you know where I can find a tutorial? Apr 7th
