5 Jul 23 Comment I want to thank everyone for their comments. I like Mark's color version and perhaps I will experiment with desaturating the BG a little to give a little more separation. I do like Pete's version as well; however, I would like to see a little more tonal separation between the rocking chair and the BG. I have more work to do. Jul 26th
5 Jul 23 Reply Interesting observation Jim; however, I've noticed correcting the window and door verticles bowed the back of the rocker. Having the door and window verticles corrected is more pleasing to the eye. Having a bowed chair back does not necessarily take away any of the viewing pleasure. Thanks Jim. Jul 26th
5 Jul 23 Reply Thanks, Mark, I like your crop and your post-processing has definitely improved the chair's color and texture. I will take another look at making a colored version. Jul 26th
5 Jul 23 Comment Sophia, you have a great photo that begs to tell a story; your title tells one. How many other stories can come from this image? It is too bad that you didn't get more of the vulture's head but is it really necessary to create the beginning of your story? I think you have a winner here. As far as post-processing if you could tone down the background a bit I think it give more separation between it and the three animals. Jul 1st
5 Jul 23 Comment This is a wonderful image; the layers from the foreground to the last hill in the valley just pull the viewer into the frame. It's three-dimensional and most certainly belongs on the wall. Jul 1st
5 Jul 23 Comment This is a very nice portrait of the gentleman and you've done a good job re-lighting his face, especially in his eyes. I noticed that you eliminated the lower catchlights in his eyes, nice touch. It's too bad you lost your original but you do have an image that you can still work with; this is a perfect subject for low-key lighting. If this were mine, I would try to create Rembrandt lighting by reducing the light on the near side and yet have the Rembrandt triangle of light on the near eye and cheek. I know it would be a challenge but it might be worth it because this is the perfect image a low-key portrait. Jul 1st
5 Jul 23 Comment Excellent capture, the eye is sharp. The color contrast between the color of the eye and the soft greens in the rest of the image really catches the viewer's attention. Great job David. Jul 1st
