2 Mar 20 Reply Thanks, a very interesting concept and result. Perhaps the car colors, clothing colors and signs could be changed to create some realistic asymmetry. Mar 22nd
2 Mar 20 Reply Yes! The addition of the red blocks makes the image more interesting and dynamic, which matches what it potentially can be in operation. Mar 20th
2 Mar 20 Comment Thank-you Shirley, I will see if I have another image taken before the car arrived! Mar 14th
2 Mar 20 Comment On further thoughts, I think the bottom half of the image is too bright relative to the top half and could be darkened slightly with the radial filter. The intent would be to relatively enhance the visual weight of the upper body including the arms, hair and facial expression. Mar 14th
2 Mar 20 Comment Great capture of expression perhaps reflecting contemporary events, and the dark shirt creases add to the upwards direction to the bright light, which I agree could be faded perhaps in parts. Very realistic use of lighting and stage background! Mar 14th
2 Mar 20 Reply Thanks. I worked on subduing the bright white centers with the radial tool in CR and gave it a touch of yellow and dimmed the surrounding rays with a brush. The driver must have had the lights on full-beam! Mar 11th
2 Mar 20 Comment Thanks for your comment supporting my original intent. My tripod was set up in the middle of the street and the sun was sinking fast, so did not have much time to consider an alternative goal,
such as making the two people, who happened to be there, the center of interest with a potential story. I think this would change the genre from "landscape" or scenery to "street". 		Mar 9th
2 Mar 20 Reply Thanks, I hadn't seen it since my original intent was a broader panoramic shot of the street. Mar 9th
2 Mar 20 Comment Interesting idea. I think the red coils in the original provide a red-green contrast and could be included in a more vertical aspect, and excluding the out of focus box at the top Mar 9th
2 Mar 20 Comment Great capture, especially eyes and hair texture. 1/200th seems an ideal choice to blur the drops just slightly. Mar 8th
2 Mar 20 Comment Very nice result. Great fading pinks in the flower and matching "bokeh".....agree with the crop suggestion. Mar 8th
2 Mar 20 Comment The barn's unique shape and shades of red look great amid the superbly processed background. Mar 8th
2 Mar 20 Comment Great detail in a spectacular building. I like the pool at the base and wonder if you had considered showing more of it...it might also help the perspective. Mar 8th
2 Mar 20 Comment I agree that my original probably has too much in it to be competitive. Thanks for the crop. Piers Mar 8th
2 Mar 20 Reply Thanks for your comments and idea to paint some sky reflection on the windows (see attached). Piers Mar 8th
