Laura, Steve, - thank you for your ideas and suggestions.
I have darkened the image and cropped some off the right side and like these improvements. Jim |

Albert, you captured an amazing sunrise burst of colors. I like the reflection.
Not knowing how old your photograph is, I might wonder if there was some aging going on. There are a number of scartches and dust spots which could be cleaned up in Photoshop or other programs. With the rounded corners, I guess that this is very old. Your photo has that antique look and if that is what you wanted, you did it well. Jim |

Tam, welcome to Digital Dialogue #24. You have a lovely subject and presented her elegantly. the variety of sun highlights through the arch and above the arch is very complimentary to your lady.
I notice that the sharpest focus is on the rocks of the arch, which is fine when photographing women to soften the complexion. If the subject was an old man, I would want to see the sharp details of the face. Jim (admin) |

Sam, Night photography is challenging. There are more "dots" out there. For me it is spiritual wonder and beauty to see beyond what the human eye can see. The stars are this numerous. This area of the sky is the center of the Milky Way Galaxy and there are so many more stars that I captured. It is Biblical for me.
PSALM 8
1 LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory in the heavens.
2 Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.
3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
4 what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them? (NIV)
It's for us to enjoy, and why I want to share it with others. Jim |

Steve, I like the final result with the same color in a uniform background surrounding the terns. The hue of the final version is fine. I notice that every tern has a wing or tail crossing over into another tern. If you had separation between the terns, it would have helped. For what you captured, you did very well with it. Jim

Sam, I like your composition of three tulips. The beam of light adds a lot to the lowest tulip, stem and leaves - but the top two tulips are in shadow. Capturing the dew drops on the top tulip adds interest. Did you try this in Black & White? Have you considered an intentional macro shot? I think there are qualities beyond the ordinary somewhere in this bed of tulips. I see three tulips that are tighter (see photo), but not in the sharpest focal plane in your original. I suggest that you take the time looking for only the 3 tulips you want at the angle and lighting you want - rather than photographing the entire flower bed and choosing three from the group. Jim. |

Laura, I like the way you captured light with sunlight and stormy clouds. If you haven't checked it out, consider the Topaz Sharpen AI and the DeNoise AI They still might have the discount. Well done on the stitching and processing. Jim |

Laura, the blurriness and light pollution is caused by the smoke. There were many more bonfires on the beach at that time. You can see the smoke in the fire on the original. thank you for your comment.
As for focusing, the Sony FE 12-24 and A7Riv allow 11x magnification for focusing. I can focus on a bright star in the sky and the immobilize the manual focus with a lens band.
There is a lot of light pollution from Ocean City Amusement Park and Boardwalk - but it was worth trying on my first attempt. Jim |
