2 Jun 20 Comment The jpg worked OK. Here is what I had in mind. Jun 18th
2 Jun 20 Comment Interesting perspective of an iconic historical subject; the flags, although distracting serve as foreground leading lines but I think come out slightly too bright - so I would tone them down by de-saturating the red slightly. Another move could be to take out the top flag, its post, and the small remnant of a flag fluttering on the right; and then crop down about half way through the sky. A sky replacement would also be good. If you agree, you can post the original I can give it a try. Jun 18th
2 Jun 20 Reply Thanks. Not really much work, just saturation and selective decreasing exposure and then de-saturation for blue. Jun 18th
2 Jun 20 Reply Thanks. The only date I could find was 1888 but others seem much older. Jun 18th
2 Jun 20 Comment Fascinating image. As well as the framing effect of the clouds, the branches seem to act as leading lines to the center. The brightness on the branches on the lower right appear to be from some white blossoms, so reducing the white/highlights with a brush could work? Jun 12th
2 Jun 20 Comment Great image and instructive discussion. I like the original sky and the Luminar 4 substitution......I agree with trying a more vibrant red...and would try the dehaze for the sky. These types of building are popular here in Oklahoma and there is a section of town with several renewals and a canal called Bricktown! Jun 12th
2 Jun 20 Comment It looks as if the bird is posing for you! Great to catch him without pecking......I like the arching trunk and bokeh throughout and the way you have caught so much in focus at f/8. I like Harry's argument but agree with the way you present it. Jun 12th
2 Jun 20 Comment Great result! Superb artistic choice of post-processing. Jun 12th
2 Jun 20 Comment I think there is good flow from lower left to upper right with the triple shade of brown. I wonder if you had considered black and white possibly with a preset as a change from the "brown monochrome".
I would also consider flipping 90 degrees to show upward growth in the image? 		Jun 12th
2 Jun 20 Reply Thanks. Here is the image without the B&W layer, but with slight darkening of the graves because the fungal spots tended to reflect light; also I de-saturated the road and parts of the graves which came out as too blue with Topaz. Jun 12th
