36 Apr 21 Comment Hi Jane, thank you for your comment. I see that most of the comments on this image go in the same direction, so I am thinking of reshooting it as it is not very far from where I live. I will then also light up the trees in the background slightly.

36 Apr 21 Comment A stunning picture! This is nature at its best. I like the camera position, but if you had raised it slightly, the grass would not hit the mountain top. Since the water line is so close to the middle, I think it could be centered by cropping at the bottom. This is very picky but I think it would make it even better. Apr 4th
36 Apr 21 Comment It pays off being an early bird. The light is just beautiful and the composition is spot on. A longer exposure time would have given a more painterly look. I like Richard´s suggestion but toned it down a bit and let reflect in the water. Apr 4th
36 Apr 21 Comment I really like this picture. It is both spooky and beautiful at the same time. I am learning light painting now and I think you have succeeded well with this one. If I should make any suggestions for improvement, it would be to crop slightly at the top and bottom and darken slightly a the bottom as the rocks take attention from the tree. Apr 4th

74 Apr 21 Reply Hi Bill. The reason why I need several shots is that I have to go very close at a very low angle to the surfaces to get the texture out. Since it is limited how much you can light up in one go, you have to do it in portions. Ex. the left wing in one, the upper long side one, lower one and ground one. And then blend together in PS. It is rather complicated process, but it is worth a try.

I agree with you about the background, which I will redo. The way to do that is to make a mask selection for each section using F. ex Polygonal Lasso Tool and then darken with Curves or Levels, or paint with a black brush at low opacity.

I hope this clarified a little. You find more about these techniques on Youtube.		 Apr 14th
74 Apr 21 Comment I understand very well the challenge to separate the shades in the B&W version. I must say, though, that you have succeeded very well. The trunks in the middle which are the focal point, stand clearly out from the surroundings. The gray tones in the lower palm trees are also of excellence.

If I should give any advice, it would be to make a vignette to focus more on the centre of the picture.		 Apr 8th
74 Apr 21 Reply Thank you for your comment. I only used white light, so it is the colour of the grass. Apr 4th
74 Apr 21 Comment An interesting diagonal composition that gives the image energy. In order to distinguish the water stream from the snow, I will suggest lightening the water slightly. Apr 4th
74 Apr 21 Comment All of us who have tried panning know that it is not easy. You have really got a grip on this genre. The composition is perfect and enhances the feeling of speed. I like the relaxed riding with one hand resting on his lap. Apr 4th
74 Apr 21 Comment An interesting and original approach in this picture that appeals to me. This is a technique that I have never thought of that works very well. Thank you for sharing. Apr 4th
74 Apr 21 Comment A nice composition with leading lines up to the cathedral. The boats create motion to the image. A suggestion for improvement is to increase the contrast as it appears a bit flat and darken the sky with a graduated filter. Apr 4th
74 Apr 21 Comment You have succeeded very well in telling the story, Tevor. I like the curved line in the path that is copied in the footsteps of the boy. The cropping enhances the story by focusing on the boy. Well done! Apr 4th
