5 Aug 22 Reply Thanks, David, I did get your email. Aug 14th
5 Aug 22 Reply Thanks, Jim for your advice; I've David's and your suggestions and I've made a 13X19 print. Needless to say, I've very pleased with the results. This is such a great group. Aug 3rd
5 Aug 22 Reply David, I tried several times to use the "Content Aware Move" tool but each time part of the subjects was left behind and the fill was terrible. I ended up copying the couple on the log onto a new layer and then used the move tool to place them in their new position. I ended up using a combination of cloning and "content aware" to remove the couple from the original position. So I too would like to know how you used the "Content Aware Move" tool. Aug 3rd
5 Aug 22 Comment Not knowing what the original is like the results of your post-processing work have paid off. The main subject is sharp and well-lit. The bokeh is very nice. Aug 1st
5 Aug 22 Reply Thanks, David, moving those two subjects is perfect. I knew I wanted to print this one but I also knew I get the best advice from this group before printing it. Aug 1st
5 Aug 22 Comment Pete, I'm curious, did you isolate the subject before using ACR to change the tone? I haven't really used ACR but it looks like you have excellent skin tone the whites are clean with texture. How easy was it? Aug 1st
5 Aug 22 Comment Jim, I like the post-processing you did on this image, my eye is just drawn from the edge all the way to the back to the last lights. This really illustrates the creativity of the artist. I recommend cloning out the two little tips of lights on the near edge of the image. Amazing how far photography has come where you are able to take an image handheld at 1/3 second and ISO 12800. WOW! Aug 1st
5 Aug 22 Comment David, I bet Kateryna would like to see the results; there is a lot of software on the market for changing the appearance of people, therefore, I believe small changes as you have done with Kateryna are appropriate. One small suggestion, soften the black lines in the BG, especially the one going through her head. Aug 1st
5 Aug 22 Comment Barbara, this is an interesting subject and I think it lends itself to monochrome as there is a lot of texture. Great idea to fold the sock because there is instant recognition. I think I would have used a needle and thread rather than scissors. For me, the scissors look a little fuzzy on the near edge. Darn nice shot. Aug 1st
