2 Apr 20 Reply Here it is. It was revised from the tiff image and I did restore an increase in brightness. I also tried to decrease the definition in the water by decreasing the blacks, but it was not effective. Apr 25th
2 Apr 20 Reply Thanks, I agree. I experimented with choices in the Photoshop blur gallery and the motion blur appeared best. I used a duplicate tif image for masking in the water plus some minor adjustments with the camera raw filter and clone stamp. Apr 21st
2 Apr 20 Reply Thanks Hung ! I agree it was too dark. Apr 19th
2 Apr 20 Reply No they never came back! Yes the sliders in Lightroom are quite easy to work with. Most of our members have the 10 dollar a month subscription that includes Photoshop with updates so that the image can easily be transferred to photoshop. The camera raw feature in Photoshop (CR) is very similar to the Lightroom editing sliders and convenient if your in photoshop. Instructional resources like Scott Kelby, Lynda.com and Youtube are helpful, and we are lucky to have local gurus here. Apr 15th
2 Apr 20 Comment Thanks for a great and instructive image....very inspirational. Apr 10th
2 Apr 20 Comment I can relate to this image since I have a similar setup and canon equipment with a 100-400 lens. Too bad the squirrel is in the shade (did you de-shadow in Lightroom?)...also I would probably start off with a higher ISO of 400 or so to give a faster shutter-speed for sharpness (minimum of 1/1000 sec) then denoise in post as needed. Yesterday I was set up with a tripod to capture a flock of Cedar Waxwings but just as I was about to shoot with ideal lighting, my neighbor broke the silence with a lawnmower and the Cedars were all gone in seconds! Hopefully they will be back. Apr 10th
2 Apr 20 Comment Nice image. I like the color contrast between the azalea and the background with bokeh. The frame complements the flower well. Agree with Martin's edit. The statue is effective but for me I would bring it out slightly more. Apr 10th
2 Apr 20 Comment Nice rodeo shot. I agree with the edits and suggestions. The background is relatively uncluttered compared to most rodeo shots. I agree with attempting to get closer or zoomed in for facial expression. Apr 10th
2 Apr 20 Comment Very nice flower group. I agree with observations on the flower on the right. To solve the problem I would crop in closer on the right and slightly from above and below and then do a horizontal flip so as to lead in better to the main central flower and the trio. Plus I would try to brush in some clarity and dehaze on the two medial petals with CR. Apr 10th
