2 Oct 23 Comment Thanks. I can return to the site. The hedge could be be more removable with clone-stamp in the winter or less intrusive. Oct 26th
2 Oct 23 Reply Thanks for your interesting thoughts and tip about Pennsylvania barns. Yes the other barn does look interesting - possibly its the dark windows. Oct 9th
2 Oct 23 Reply Since the subject of the photo is the fallen statue, I agree that changes to the background should be subtle, or you could go darker and match the light on the left shoulder with more light in the sky on that side. Oct 6th
2 Oct 23 Comment Great cultural and historical content combined with your choice of placement of foreground in relation to background. On looking at the temple closely I notice there is a small sunlit part through the pillars, but the dull color gives a sense of being ancient. You could consider a gradient for the sky perhaps. Oct 3rd
2 Oct 23 Comment Interesting choice of subject and source. I went on that boat-ride a few years ago and agree that there is plenty of interest - perhaps a row-boat to complete it. Hard to believe there are no clouds - but the British put it down to climate change. Oct 3rd
2 Oct 23 Comment Its great to see the hills receding into the distant clouds. I think you processed them perfectly. The green trees in a diagonal line are much better after the foreground crop. There's not much in the foreground to push up the score but the tree-line, hills and sky are winners. I don't think blue and gray cause conflict in the clouds as did the yellowish tinge. Oct 3rd
2 Oct 23 Comment Great story. Your selection and sequence of adjustments are interesting, but on going back to the original I note that the adjusted image goes more from light to dark and the horizon appears tilted. However, I your adjusted version captures the mood very well. Oct 3rd
2 Oct 23 Comment Great shot. The American Crow has a natural dark spot in front of the eye and I think it is one. Great detail in the wings and feet. Your sky is a good choice but has some spots, so wonder if it needs some spot-removal and possibly denoise and sometimes a slight dehaze helps. Oct 3rd
2 Oct 23 Comment Thanks. You are correct - there is a line of light in front of the bush making it seem like there is a slope. Here is an adjustment. Also I have been told to make it less flat by dodging and burning. Oct 3rd
