Kathleen, WOW to capture two bears in such a great surrounding! I think the composition and your handling of the bears work well. I do feel that the color and texture of the tree in your original is stonier because of the saturation of the color. I also like the composition in the original image better. It seems to give both bears a little more play room. How exciting that you were able to capture this with your
I-Phone 11! |

What an incredible image! The colors, the sweeping curves of the land, the sky all make this a perfect fairy tale image. For me, I would have included a little more of the sky when cropping. I feel that including the deep blue/ grays above the fire reds would have framed this image better. |

Bunny, do sorry to hear about your evaluation. I applaud you for taking the time to submit your image under the circumstances. You truly captured the heart and souls of these young boys. The choice of black & white makes it even more effective. I do however think the contrast in the original makes it a stronger image. I have taken the liberty to make a few changes to your original you may want to consider:
Added space above the older boy
Cropped out some of the background allowing us to center more on the boys first and then their conditions
Added a vignette

Thanks Kathleen! I really struggled with that right side and agree that it is blown out. I know I need to learn more about how to adjust this aspect in photoshop. |

Joan, I do love capturing reflections! They make this image feel magical. Although there are parts of your edited image I think work very well for me (increase texture in the white building) there are several aspects of your original that I feel make it stronger than your edited version. I think the fact that the sky and mountains in the original are more subtle allows the stars of the image (the buildings) take center stage. Is there a way to use the HDR on only select portions of the image? This is definitely an image that is worth exploring options with. Thanks for sharing! |

Thanks Walter.... I was not familiar with this tool but after watching a couple of videos, I can see that it was just what I needed. Will definitely use it in the future. |

Water, what a fascinating plant! The colors are quite vivid and you did indeed capture that carcass. I am wondering if it is a bit too soft. I've worked on it a sharpening and adding some texture. Finally, I slightly changed the crop and added a vignette. |

Dr. Nair, what a great capture of a very special moment. I do love the strength of the colors and appreciate your wanting to include as much as possible in your final image but I am wondering if a different crop and editing out the cars in the background might help with the telling of the sacredness of this story.
I am also thinking that there are several images within this image (maybe just the pots) that would also be a strong story telling images. |

WOW Larry, this image is powerful in both black and white as well as color. Definitely evokes a feeling of longing for the mountains! Can not believe how crisp and clear the trees are. Well done. |
