2 Apr 25 Reply Thanks for showing a great display of colors and culture! I am in favor of simplification and would consider cropping off the more cluttered top line of clothing to allow better presentation of the woman with better diagonal matching of blacks and reds in the squares. Apr 13th
2 Apr 25 Reply Thanks for your insights. Based on your and Shirley's suggestions I have done some edits using a combination of cloning and using free transform to move rectangles within the image and bring the black vat and dog closer to the center while leaving the distilling devices but showing more of them including the halo. After warming and saturating I used a photoshop black and white preset called warmth and de-shadowed on the right to show the whole dog and logo but using a linear gradient for dimming highlights in the top half of the image. Apr 3rd
2 Apr 25 Comment Great capture of an expressive moment in the friendly sparring with the man's eyes telling it all. I agree with the crop but not sure if it's worth looking at where the one third lines are and what parts of the image are in which third - by cropping to the girl's waist you are bringing the eyes down a bit? I suggest cutting the brightness in the left lower corner. Apr 3rd
2 Apr 25 Comment That's fascinating! I think ICM is an intriguing way to simulate impressionism, which I think you have achieved by great composition and color choices. There are some parallel lines but the tree trunk on the left carries too much visual weight so I would try darkening it some more and perhaps partially cropping it. Apr 3rd
2 Apr 25 Comment Great concept and processing to arrive at the final. I am intrigued with the party on board and the boat apparently about to get stuck in the sand! I would suggest taking out the tip of land with buildings on the left because it detracts from the peaceful scene. Apr 3rd
2 Apr 25 Comment Very nice concept and processing to bring out the emotion of the moment. There is one paradox in that the shadows on the knee seemingly shaded by the hat is a mismatch with the brightened face.....how about a touch of exposure on the knees? Apr 3rd
2 Apr 25 Comment Good idea. However, there is no more of the dog to work with except by AI perhaps. I did take several shots which pleased the owner who intended to use them for advertising, so I might look again at the series. I agree the tank could be central and the dog and cylinder be brought in by slicing out a rectangle but better if I ask the owner to pose the dog. Apr 3rd
