12 Aug 21 Comment B&W is definately the right way to present this image. You have the skier positioned nicely against the plain background rather than the light snow ahead of her. That would have been a neat trick if you were actually the skier and photographer! Aug 10th
12 Aug 21 Comment Mmmmm. I can almost taste those neautiful rolls! What a pleasant way to start the day. Aug 10th
12 Aug 21 Comment Yes, the feeder does give scale to this tiny little bird. I out out 2 feeders, and no one came. Outside the kitchen window is a large patch of purple hostas. One day a single stem was waving back and forth, and lo and behold! A hummingbird rose up and looked right at me. Your bird is a little soft; that seems to be motion rather than focus. That said, this is far better than any hummingbird I ever photographed. Keep trying; they will be back next spring. Aug 10th
12 Aug 21 Comment I just want to bury my fingers into that beautiful fur. Getting detail in an all whote subject is difficult, but you have done it purrfectly. (tee-hee) Aug 10th
12 Aug 21 Comment I agree with Ally about the orange and green complimenting each other. The diagonals of the Ipad and the eedge of the table add interest. As for the screen of the Opad - they tend to look like that until after the first cup of coffee. Aug 10th
12 Aug 21 Comment Great circular composition, good color, mouth-watering subject. And a good family story, too. Aug 10th

77 Aug 21 Comment I had to really look, but I see the shadows. As they were part of the scene, I would not touch them. It would take very delicate work to 'paint' them with the color of the water. We all know that the water has many shades, even in that small area. Retouching those shadows may be very noticeable. even more so than the shadows. Speaking of monitors, they are all different. Just because an image looks good on your monitor, doesn't mean it will be as good on someone else's. There are things I rarely comment on because of this: color balance, contrast, noise, even focus.

77 Aug 21 Comment Witta and Michael have valid comments about the halo. When separating a subject from the original background you can expand or contract the selection by a few pixels. Sometimes this is just enough to give a clean edge and avoid haloes. Sometimes it helps to use a simplify filter (Topaz Studio 2) to clean the edges little. I can see this lovely rose hanging on a wall. Aug 10th
77 Aug 21 Comment Ah, light direction. The highlights on the leaf and the texture seem to match, so the correction only needs to be made on the shadow. Your choice of background/texture compliments the leaf nicely. I also like the color you chose. Aug 10th
77 Aug 21 Comment I didn't notice the towers until reading Michael's comments. In my opinion the sky is too bright. I would keep the adjustments on the foreground and bring back the original sky. I do like the cluster of trees in the right background that looks like a silhouette of the Taj Mahal. Aug 10th
77 Aug 21 Comment Your composition is very good with the girl embraced by the lavendar and the balloon strings at a strong diagonal. I would prefer less yellow, but that is just personal preference. You got the warm tone of the afternoon light that you wanted. With the glow of her hair, the face looks good; if you toned it down you might lose too much detail. Aug 10th
77 Aug 21 Comment I prefer the final image because the simple subject almost femands a simple treatment. Your image in Group 34 is lso excellent. Thank you for the little lesson on taking and processing HDR images. I am not yet comfortable with HDR, but you have encouraged me. Is it better to have a transluscent subject rather than a solid subject? Aug 10th
