2 Aug 22 Reply Thanks, I see the difference. Also it makes me think a view from in front of the dancer would have been better. Aug 12th
2 Aug 22 Comment Thanks for the comments. Yes I agree about the pointer and put it back in (see above). Aug 6th
2 Aug 22 Comment Great result!! Amazing what you can do with PS motion blur without moving the camera at slow shutter speed. I guess you can also go back with a low opacity brush to bring back parts of the original. Aug 6th
2 Aug 22 Comment I think you have dealt well with yellow which is a difficult color to deal with. The leading lines are good but wish they were sharper on the left. The tips of the stamens contrast well. Aug 6th
2 Aug 22 Reply Thanks for your positive comments. Aug 6th
2 Aug 22 Reply No it looked fine Shirley. Aug 4th
2 Aug 22 Comment My first impression is positive based on the selectively focused foreground tulip enhanced by the way you have treated the background with the preset. I think it would be stronger if there were more tulips (3 or 5) with a central one or two in focus for compositional balance. Aug 4th
2 Aug 22 Reply Yes, I had thought of a separate pose in retrospect - perhaps at the next spring fair. Yes, I agree with darkening on the right. I did try cropping down but the effect of the pose and overall tension is lost somehow. Aug 3rd
2 Aug 22 Comment Very nice work and wire removal. I realize the 4 posts are historic and are an important part of the scene, but my preference would be to crop along the left side of the building taking out the post on the left leaving a classic odd number of posts. Then I would prefer to leave the complete street in the original including the red car. Aug 1st
2 Aug 22 Comment Very interesting the way you have processed this image with great result. I agree the compositional balance and fence line leading to the sunset works well. You have transitioned from a dark to a very bright image. My preference would be to selectively go down on brightness in the foreground leading into the brighter upper right parts of the image but not too much. Aug 1st
2 Aug 22 Comment Thanks for the insight Karen. I have also put the background figure in the shade. Aug 1st
