2 Nov 19 Comment Here it is cleaned up. I can't help thinking that the tire marks were created by the graffiti artists! Nov 11th
2 Nov 19 Comment I tend to overdo things Brenda but this is what I did with the plant centers and desturated the greens to tone down as Shirley suggested (all done in PS camera raw but on your JPEG....would be better with a RAW image probably). Piers Nov 11th
2 Nov 19 Comment Now the yellows look to dark but you could selectively brighten and saturate them with a brush with some feather I think. Piers Nov 11th
2 Nov 19 Comment I tend to go down on exposure, so I have played with the sliders in Photoshop CR and also added contrast and clarity plus a tighter crop. Piers Nov 11th
2 Nov 19 Comment Nov 11th
2 Nov 19 Comment Here is a revised image with tilting and cloning out the graffiti, but left the skid marks! Piers Nov 10th
2 Nov 19 Comment Brilliant shot! I agree with the crop. We have a local wildlife expert who often uses a brush to darken bright spots slightly like the grass and a radial filter to bring out the animal's action points like the top half of the prancing horses. The dust is part of the story so I would leave it, but may be try the dehaze slider in Lightroom or selectively use it with the radial filter to clarify the background horse. Nov 10th
2 Nov 19 Comment Very interesting macro-image with an abstract effect. However, I agree with Shirley about the original which is very striking and leaves much more potential for edits and creation of a composition with about seven of the flowers. f/5.6 seems quite low and wonder if you tried more depth of field as well. Nov 10th
2 Nov 19 Comment This is a dramatic image looking as if you are flying close by and as you say participating......that's very close flying. I would raise the question about whether to show so much jet-stream so as to loose relative space in front of the jets, so I would suggest placing them more centrally or use more negative space in front if you have some prior to cropping. I would also try a horizontal flip. Nov 10th
2 Nov 19 Comment Thanks for such an inspiring image and effective use of HDR. The back-lit background is so effective after the edits. The third tree from the left has the blurred green leaves in the foreground but took me a while to notice, so I would leave as is. Nov 10th
2 Nov 19 Comment Very nice picture!! I like the idea for a basket as background, but I would use a content aware tool to create more space above the head placing the eyes closer to the 1/3 line, then I would desaturate the green grass so as to be less bright. Nov 10th
