71 Oct 21 Reply Thanks, John. Oct 21st
71 Oct 21 Comment Great capture and good job of choosing the best image! Oct 20th
71 Oct 21 Comment There are a lot of possibilities for picking out a few details in this image! I like the photo as it is and just thinking about all the ways you could use it excites me. Oct 20th
71 Oct 21 Comment This is a very sweet image. I agree with Paul about the crop and would consider enhancing the mother's eyes. Oct 19th
71 Oct 21 Comment I think this is a very good image. I could go either way on the light trails, but find the small area at the base of the tallest building that looks blown out slightly distracting. Oct 19th
71 Oct 21 Comment First, you did a great job of removing the distractions.

I think the problem with the background was primarily that there wasn't enough distance between the subject and the background. There are two ways to get a blurry background that come to mind. One is to use the "darken and blur the background" choice with a radial filter inverted and erase the filter's effects on the boat. The other would be to duplicate the image, apply a strong Gaussian blur, and mask in just the sharp boat in Photoshop. (There's probably a better way in Photoshop, but I don't know it.)
With the strong color contrast between the blue and green, it's easy to see why you chose to take the shot.		 Oct 19th

If not, the lights in the windows are created with radial filters - a small one to mimic a lamp and a larger one to create the halo. (I add a little orange/yellow color to the filter too.) I'll have to check, but I believe the "moon" is actually the sun being affected by the browns in the preset.		 Oct 11th
71 Oct 21 Reply I've thought about adding a ghostly figure. Oct 10th
71 Oct 21 Reply Thanks! Oct 10th
71 Oct 21 Comment Thank you for such kind words! A day-to-night preset was modified and lights were added by using radial filters. (Both tricks are courtesy of Serge Ramelli.) Oct 7th
