36 Oct 21 Reply Hi Larry. Thank you for your suggestion. I think both versions works. To me, your version is a more, should I say, kind version, while mine is more dramatic. Oct 18th
36 Oct 21 Reply Hi Michel. I tried out B&W and run into some banding problems, but I think I managed to reduce it to an acceptable level. I used a BW profile in LR to make a fast result. Oct 18th
36 Oct 21 Comment Your composition works well with the leading lines of the roof tops and the contrasty mountain in the background. My suggestion for improvement is to darken the left upper corner to draw the attention to the mountain and darken the nearest roof to create more depth into the image. Oct 17th
36 Oct 21 Comment I like the light in this picture, particularly in the background with the rim of light that distinguish the mountains from the sky. I think Barbara´s suggestion about cropping vertical could work. My only pick is the exposure, in my opinion, it is better to shoot longer or shorter. By going down to ISO 100 and 30 sec, the water and clouds would be more blurry. Or, make it all sharp. Oct 17th
36 Oct 21 Comment An impressive image in its simplicity. At first glance, some giant crabs came to my mind. Then I read the story, which should give all of us a reminder of what is going on. I think this image can have several versions, if you darken the surroundings and do som light painting on the roots, you would get a very dramatic scene that would tell your story even stronger way. Oct 17th
36 Oct 21 Comment This image is just beautiful! Patience is the key word when photographing on crowded places and that you have been rewarded for. There is little to put the finger on in my opinion, but a slight vignette and a little darkening from the bottom would do, I think. Oct 17th

74 Oct 21 Reply Thank you for your comment. I am using my own skies and doing like you, making my own library of different types of skies. Oct 10th
74 Oct 21 Reply Thank you for your thorough comment. After submitting it, I have continued working on it, but have not come to a final solution yet. I might replace the sky with a less contrasty one as I feel it is competing with the main object. I will also, as you suggest, make the building more contrasty and slightly lighter. Oct 10th
74 Oct 21 Comment A beautiful waterfall that is well captured. The cropping works fine to me. My only suggestion is to make a slight dark vignette around the waterfall that will make it pop more. I would also considered using a luminosity mask to make some of the bright parts in the stream whiter. That would make the image more lively. Oct 10th
74 Oct 21 Comment It is a very narrative image about the life in the street. The cropping emphasise on the woman. I think a lower camera position and slightly to the left would given a better impression of the situation. I would also considered to use a dark gradient from upper left corner as my eyes are drawn out of the picture in that direction. Oct 10th
74 Oct 21 Comment An interesting composition with repeating shapes and patterns. Going from sharp to gradually blur creates depth in the image. Well done! Oct 10th
74 Oct 21 Comment Wellcome to our group, Don. You clearly have an eye for minimal details that tell a story. An important issue when taking pictures like this one, it to keep the lines straight vertical and horizontal and you have done that perfectly. When it comes to texture, my suggestion is to increase it slightly only on the door. I think I would kept the number as it is a part of the story.

I am also using Luminar, but only after finished in Photoshop to enhance colours sometimes.		 Oct 10th
74 Oct 21 Comment You have done a very good job in the post-processing of this picture. The main focus is on the buildings in the middle and the tones in the clouds are leading down to them. The same applies to the sea. The whole scene becomes very dramatic in the way you have done this and it is by far better than the original.

If I should give any suggestions for improvement, it would be to darken the bright area to the lower left and a slight dark gradient from the bottom and from the right. 		Oct 10th
