Getting back to you, no. Cropping off the top of the hat and cropping off the back of the hat is a function of doing a tight portrait close-up. It works. Jim |

Rick, I have appreciated your photo as presented and find that it very well balanced, however I am distracted by the cut off branches on the left. So I cloned in the branches to bring mother and baby koala to the center of the photo. Let me know what you think. Jim |

Mark, thank you for working on the perspective. It is a challenge. When I was looking at this close-up, it seemed that the curved glass window panes tilted in a truncated cone. Using what I saw, I decided to make the columns to be vertical. The columns may create another problem if they do not have the same diameter from bottom to top.
-- final decision is what looks best to the eye and I like what you did.

Great capture of a rare bird. I like what you started. Choosing a black background is much better than the plain hazy sky. I would dodge the trailing feathers on the left wing (right side). One thing I have found to help define the location of the snail kite is to give it a white border. When our webpage is black and you use a black background, your subject seems to lose the environment. You can make a thin white border by adding 2-3 pixels to the canvass size. Jim |

Yes, there's a story in this face. You bring out the details with the B&W tonality. Somehow you lost highlights in the armor. The armor appears to be tarnished in monochrome, adding to story of what the Renaissance Festival was about. The cap seems to be cut off by the top edge. A good closeup portrait and a lot of character. Jim |

David, this is amazing, artistic in so many ways, so creative. Your resources, especially your model, are beyond my imagination. I agree that the framed photo of Queen Victoria is the best choice. According to legend, it is difficult to do reflections of vampires. I like the room selection, however the corner is dark and seems to blur the top hat. Good choice to replace plywood with the carpet, and eliminate the window. Overall, what you produced is compelling and exceptional. Well done. Jim |

Thanks for your review. The sky is rain and fog, not noise. You can see the puddles and reflection in the original. That's why I did not take the tripod and take multiple shots for HDR. |

Barbara, You did an exceptional job of panning this image, very sharp focus on the rider and neck of the horse. I suggest that you look at any other photo of this horse and rider. It could be that the white line on the leading edge of the horse's head belongs there. It is a blaze of white hair from the forehead to the nose, running between the eyes. It is a very common white pattern when the horse also has four "socks" or white hair from the ankle to the hoof. Jim |
