36 Oct 22 Comment Well done, Barbara! I love slow photography and this is as slow as you can get it. I am impressed by the advanced techniques you have used and how well they work. Oct 17th
36 Oct 22 Comment Your editing gave the little extra to make the image interesting. I notice the seagull that seems to guide the boat to where the fish is :) Maybe you could keep the haze at the top to give it a more dramatic look. Oct 8th
36 Oct 22 Comment I like the composition with the repeating mountain peaks in diagonal line into the image. I don't agree with putting more wow factor into it. Instead, I would try out reducing the blue colour in the lake. Unfortunately, the picture is not 100% sharp. I think it is because of the low shutter speed. This could be solved by going up to 1/125s and adjusting ISO accordingly. A trick is to set the self-timer to 2 sec and keep the breath when shooting. Oct 8th
36 Oct 22 Comment A lot of shapes and textures here. Soft light is a good starting point for a picture like this. To me, all the details have been treated equally. That means they are competing with each other for attention. My suggestion is to use dodge and burn heavily to point out the main subject and how you want the viewer´s eye to move. I would also suggest a vignette to draw attention to the centre. I think this can be a great picture. You may also try out several versions with different croppings. Oct 8th
36 Oct 22 Comment As many times before, you have an entertaining story to your images. I admire your great effort in planning and execution when taking your images. I like the tension between the calmness on the ground and the storm approaching in the sky. I agree to darken the bright reflection. In addition, I would draw a dark gradient up from the right corner to draw attention into the water reflections and the stormy sky.

A strong and well-done image!		 Oct 8th
36 Oct 22 Comment Thank you for your comment. I agree about the planting :) so I will try cropping, maybe to a square format. Oct 8th
36 Oct 22 Comment Thank you for your comments, I will look into either some cropping or adding a tree to make a better balance. Oct 6th
36 Oct 22 Reply Thank you for your comments, Larry. I think this is a style I will work on in the future. I will see if I can have a tree planted on the left side :) Oct 6th
36 Oct 22 Reply Thank you for your suggestion, I will try this out. Oct 6th
36 Oct 22 Reply Thank you for your comment, Stephen. It was impossible to go further away because of a row of trees. I used the shift to almost the maximum. I have not done any perspective changes in PS. It is easy to overdo the shift effect. If the vertical lines become 100% vertical, it looks like the building is wider at the top than at the bottom. Oct 2nd
36 Oct 22 Reply Thank you for your comment, Gregory. As I said, it is a rather complicated process and actually, it is my first image processed in this way. I got the idea from an English photographer named David Osborn who makes very beautiful pictures. In the past two years, I have been working a lot with BW fine art architecture pictures and I got the idea to combine black and withe with colours using different blending modes. It is a try and errs method all way and it is difficult to describe the process. I have tried other similar pictures where it didn`t work. Hope this gives you some ideas. Oct 2nd

74 Oct 22 Reply Thank you for your comments. I think you are right about the vignetting, I will tray it out. Oct 22nd
74 Oct 22 Comment I think you have done a good job with all the limitations you had. The lower left corner was a bit distracting to me and I would suggest cloning it out. Oct 17th
