12 Oct 24 Reply Thank you, Nancy. That shadow was a big problem - big enough to discourage the use of this image. But the story about our friend looking for a big pond was too good not to share. Oct 13th
12 Oct 24 Reply Darkening the rocks is a definite improvement. Why couldn't I see that while processing? Do we pay too much attention to our pre-conceived notions? Or did I concentrate so much on fixing the dark shadow that I neglected the rest of the image? Oct 13th
12 Oct 24 Comment Boy, does this remind me of the recent hurricane images. I like the subtle shadings in the trees. That evergreen branch on the right is well placed and adds some pleasing detail. Exposure and focus are well done. Oct 10th
12 Oct 24 Comment This would make a beautiful Christmas card. I've tried some reflections in Christmas Balls before, but none this pretty. The framing behind the subject is just enough to set the scene without being distracting. The reflections surrounding the buildings is perfect. Reading Carole's comments - how did you avoid your own reflection? Wait! Is that you back at the fence? Oct 10th
12 Oct 24 Comment Cropping off the bright area at top was absolutely the right thing to do. You did a good job presenting this little pond to the viewer. It has a peaceful feeling. Yes, it is a still shot, but the ripples in the water allows the viewer to feel that movement. Oct 10th

77 Oct 24 Reply Thank you. Reflections are 'natural' abstracts that I find very interesting. Oct 17th
77 Oct 24 Reply Oh, yes. That is much better. Thank you. Oct 17th
77 Oct 24 Comment Your edits have turned a photo of an interesting door into a doorway to a fantasy world. You paid close attention to the details that made the final image so good. I must try Luminar Neo, also. I have regular Luminar, but don't use it much. Oct 17th
77 Oct 24 Reply The adjustments were made on your final image. Oct 17th
77 Oct 24 Comment I really don't do much photography with my phone - just record shots. But you seem to be very good with the apps for cell phone images. The vertical blur helps lead the viewer
s eye into the picture. But I think the colors have been saturated to the extent that some detail is lost. I adjusted colors as follows: Red, +8 saturation and -21 lightness; yellow, -29 saturation and +22 lightness. This will make a very nice print.		 Oct 13th
77 Oct 24 Comment This image is very well done. It shows your creativity and imagination. I prefer the image with the warm tones over the B&W. Don't know why. This could be the cover of a mystery novel. OK, so I tried poster edges many times, but didn't like the affect. Following your instructions, I got something good. Thank you for the lesson. Oct 13th
77 Oct 24 Comment You took this from a moving vehicle? Wow. Looking at the original, most people would say, "Oh well." But your final image is amazing. How did you ever think to desaturate, invert, blend however in order to increase saturation? All these steps are counter-intuitive to the desired outcome. I picked a colorful image and tried this step-by-step. What a difference! Thank you for the lesson. Oh, BTW, as a reader, I rather like the 'bookshelf', too.

77 Oct 24 Comment This is an excellent example of negative space. It has a very calming quality. The soft colors are perfectly paired with the soft textures. Your original image is lovely, but your edits have raised it to a fine art level. Oct 10th
