11 Apr 20 Comment I am not sure what the subject is of the photo. I decided on an image of the boy who just arrived on a bike and is now waiting. So my revision reflects my interpretation but I would have liked to have included more of the boy in may image. I cropped the image to a vertical with the bike being prominent and then brightened the image of the boy. Apr 9th
11 Apr 20 Comment I like the image but feel that overall it is too dark especially the mountains. I also feel that the foreground should be cropped as it is not as interesting as the rest of the image. So, in my revision I started with your image 1 and converted it to mono. Then I cropped the foreground, increased the canvas size and enlarged the mountains. Then I dodged the shadow areas and also the steam areas. Apr 9th
11 Apr 20 Reply Sharon, many thanks for pointing out the moiré pattern in my image as I did not see it. I went back to my original color photo and found no trace of any pattern. And, I cannot discern where or how that pattern became part of my mono image as I keep no record of my processing steps. So, I found, on the internet, a video on how to add fog (and clouds) to an image and used it to revise my original image. Attached is my revised Train in Fog. Apr 9th
11 Apr 20 Comment Wow, the pigeon looks like a Star War's creation. I prefer the mono version as the color version is just too unbelievable. And I prefer the flipped version. Apr 8th
11 Apr 20 Comment I love the soft beautiful colors of the original and prefer that image over the mono but I would also like to see the horse without the horizontal bars across its face. Apr 8th
11 Apr 20 Comment I prefer the straight mono version as I feel the sepia version emphasizes the features too much. In my revision I darkened the feathers and blurred the background. Apr 8th

18 Apr 20 Comment Very creative. You might consider a taller image i.e. no so squat. Apr 8th
18 Apr 20 Comment Nice photo. Nice creation. You might consider a beige background instead of white. Apr 8th
18 Apr 20 Comment I like the image, the composition and the oars in the background. I have no suggestions. Great photo. Apr 8th
18 Apr 20 Comment Nice image, nice composition and very interesting but I do agree with Mark that the reds do seem too vivid. Apr 8th
18 Apr 20 Comment Andrew, attached is what I think is a revised original image. I cannot find any other original photo. The reason I think it is not the original is that all the tree foliage and grass is yellow so I probably changed all the green colors to yellows in the original. The photo was shot 8 years ago and has been sitting in my "to do" file for some years. Apr 2nd

78 Apr 20 Reply Good idea. I like the tighter crop. Apr 13th
78 Apr 20 Comment The photo is nice but I would like to see the left side of the face not so dark. And, since this is a portrait I feel that the photo of this beautiful lady would not need so much jewelry. Apr 8th
78 Apr 20 Comment I feel the main feature of the image is the backlit plant on the left side of the photo. So, in my revision I eliminated the purple flower and cropped the image to feature just the single stem. Apr 8th
78 Apr 20 Comment I like the photo, the interest and the feeling of loneliness. A very minor suggestion would be to brighten the face of the dog slightly. Apr 8th
78 Apr 20 Reply Richard many thanks for your comments. In my 4 23 20 revision I brightened the couple, darkened the background, and cropped a little off the bottom and right side. I like the effect as it now appears that the sun is shining on the couple but not the background. Apr 3rd
78 Apr 20 Comment I like the photo, the composition is great. But, my preference is for a much warmer image as in my suggested revision. Apr 2nd
78 Apr 20 Comment I like the photo and the leading lines but I feel the figure should be more prominent. In my revision I cropped much of the photo so that the figure is in a more interesting place in the photo. I also darkened the sky. Apr 2nd
78 Apr 20 Comment I love the photo and composition but I feel the great curving lines could be improved with the additional of an object - perhaps a panther or person. Apr 2nd
78 Apr 20 Reply Terry thanks for your comments. See my comments to Brenda about sharpening. I will have to consider softening the background but since I intend to submit this photo in PSA Travel competitions I cannot change the background image. Apr 2nd
78 Apr 20 Reply Brenda, thanks for your comments. The original photo shows that the couple are elderly and both with skin problems. I sharpened the submitted photo at only .4 pixels but which perhaps did accentuate their skin problems. So I went back and selected the couple and sharpened at .2 pixels, which did soften their skin, and then sharpened everything else at .4. My revised photo follows. Apr 2nd
