11 Mar 21 Comment A very interesting photo but I am troubled by the TV antenna which occupies so much of the image and competes with the view of the city. Consider either cloning out the antenna or cropping out that portion of the image - perhaps just a vertical photo featuring roof tops and the city. Mar 11th
11 Mar 21 Comment I haven't thought about St Louis Canyon since we honeymooned in Starved Rock State Park 61 years ago. Thanks for the image. I opened the original image in Photo Shop Raw, made adjustments and converted to mono using Silver Efex. In my image I tried to have more detail in the shadows. I also cropped some off the left side and off the top so that the waterfall is no so centered. Then I used the dodge tool to brighten the waterfall, the shadows and the pool. Mar 11th
11 Mar 21 Comment I like the image and your composition but I would like to see more contrast in the window reflections. Also, the white sky is distracting and needs to be darkened. Mar 11th
11 Mar 21 Comment Very nice image and very nice conversion. My only suggestion would be to add some fog to the bottom area of the photo where the bushes are. I once added some fog to a photo of a train but can't remember how I did it. Mar 11th

78 Mar 21 Reply Much better. Mar 14th
78 Mar 21 Reply Mitch, by adjusting levels I was able to get the look that I mentioned but I also used the dodge tool to brighten some of the frosted foliage. I also selected one of the blue color bands in the sky and using the clone tool was able to reproduce that color throughout the sky. Mar 11th
78 Mar 21 Comment I like the image and agree that the original image is too blue. My feeling is that the top portion of the image is somewhat overexposed. I suggest selecting just the top half of the image and then try adjusting levels and see if more color and contrast can be added to those areas. Mar 11th
78 Mar 21 Comment Very interesting photo. I suggest straightening the image and cropping some off the right side so the subject is not so centered. Mar 11th
78 Mar 21 Comment Great photo. I can think of nothing to improve it. Mar 11th
78 Mar 21 Comment A great photo. I suggest darkening the bright white areas and also cloning out the guy behind the main subject. Mar 11th
78 Mar 21 Comment A wonderful photo. I suggest considering cropping some off the bottom and off the right side of the image so that the subjects are not so centered. Mar 11th
78 Mar 21 Comment A wonderful image with a great background. My only suggestion, as had been suggested, is to tone down the branch. Mar 11th
78 Mar 21 Reply Mitch, I revised my image but had not cropped on the right as you had suggested which I really like. Please see my revision. Welcome to our group. Mar 11th
78 Mar 21 Reply Terry, thanks for your suggestions. Please see my revision. Mar 11th
78 Mar 21 Reply Jason, thanks for your suggestions. Please see my revision. Mar 11th
78 Mar 21 Reply Thanks for your suggestion. Please see my revision. Mar 11th
78 Mar 21 Comment Thanks for all the suggestions. I went back to my original image and removed my shoes from the stairs, reduced the orange color, reduced noise, cropped more on the right side, added a little more width to the left side and also revised the original pattern at the bottom of the stairs. Mar 11th
