12 Feb 17 Reply Thank you, Carole. Darkening the edges does indeed put more emphasis on the faces. I'm not always good with brushes or curves. I use NIK Color Effects Darken/Lighten center to do that. A lower angle would have looked up at the boy's face and perhaps helped the mood of the photos. Feb 13th
12 Feb 17 Reply Thank you, Kerstin. I see now that I should have taken a photo just for this assignment rather than pull one from the archives. But you are right. A brighter dress and more diffused light would definitely improve the shot. Feb 13th
12 Feb 17 Reply Thank you for comments, Dolores. Indeed, the expressions on their faces is more worried than loving. Having finally seen the entire play, these two young people were indeed in love, but not at all knowledgeable about the ways of the world. Had I had complete control over the shot I would have changed many things. Feb 13th
12 Feb 17 Comment Hello, Gavin. Good idea. Your crop to the single silver kiss gives a much better composition. The big problem is the hotspots in the background. Perhaps you could try again with a different, less reflective, background (M&M's perhaps?) Or move the pile of kisses farther back. That would get them out of the main light, throw them out of focus, and still keep the theme. Our club is having a macro workshop Saturday; we need to get Kisses. Feb 6th
12 Feb 17 Comment Hello, Carole. What says 'love' better than our dogs? I wish their faces were closer together, but you can't pose these things. Years from now your granddaughter will cherish this photo of her beloved dog. Good job on the cloning - I can't find where you did it. Feb 6th
12 Feb 17 Comment Hello, Dolores. Really good lighting and color saturation. Rainy days are good for something. The focus on the baby is a little soft. However, the protective mother is most important. The change in focus emphasizes that she was willing to come right in your face to protect her baby. Good job. Feb 6th
12 Feb 17 Comment Hello, Kerstin. How very clever and imaginative! Good use of selective focus. Good exposure - highlights not blown and shadows not blocked. Did you reflect some light between their faces, or was the bread bright enough without a fill? Feb 6th
12 Feb 17 Comment Hello, Barbara. Wow! What a retouching job! I would never have tackled this one. How did you separate the birds from the background? Going around each tiny feather in Photo Shop would be very tedious. Have you tried Topaz Remask? I've only tried it on large selections, not detailed ones like this. Exposure perfect, nice catch light in the eyes, and good pose. It looks like the birds went to modeling school. Feb 6th
12 Feb 17 Comment Hello, Walter. This obviously took some planning because the composition is spot on - and you really didn't know until after the shutter tripped whether or not you were in the right position. The quiet reader, the homey background, and soft sidelight set a very calming mood. I would have moved the pamphlet on the table out of the shot, but perhaps that is part of the story you want to tell. nice job. Feb 6th
