70 Jan 19 Reply Good job Todd. Thanks for the links. Jan 16th
70 Jan 19 Comment Lamar et al,

Pete Morton our DD Assistant Director wants me to note you that my image together with nine others have been posted to the Digital Dialog Member's Showcase home page for Jan 2019.

I learned a lot from all of you and thanks for all your comments and constructive feedback.		 Jan 15th
70 Jan 19 Reply Thanks for your question Kathryn.

The roof is half dark in original file. The overall sharpness was suffering from f/4, 1/60 sec at ISO 3200. I was still a bit panting when shooting this image. I just went through steep slopes and stair cases to reach this spot. And, I was lazy enough to carry my tripod and shoot hand held. Luckily, the camera shake was not too obvious.

My key learning, I should have used Tripod and took several shots.

In post editing. First I apply my HDR Grunge preset. Adjusted the brightness, contrast, clarity and sharpening to make it not too obvious. Then, I re-build the missing pixels on the right side of the roof. By copying from the left side of the roof with 'Flip Horizontal' source using 'Stamp Tool' and 'Masking' in Photoshop.

70 Jan 19 Comment Hi all. I make a bit of experiment here posting this particular image expecting your comments. Thanks for your comments.

This image is Accepted' in PSA Photo Contest 2018 under Travel Category. That was my first time to attend International Photo Contest.

My friend told me that during the judging process, they saw thousands of images. Only those attracted their attention (at the first glance) will be considered. I realize this image is not strong enough. But at least. I tried to draw their attention with some thing mystical. 		Jan 14th
70 Jan 19 Comment Hi Judi. I love this image. I love the dynamic blur of the water stream.

My Suggestion is to increase (a bit) the brightness, clarity, sharpness and warm up the temperature of the waterfall rocks. Remove rock appearance at the bottom left corner to make space for a thorough water flow. 		Jan 13th
70 Jan 19 Comment Hi Kathryn.

I love the composition. It's a full range of depth. Foreground, middle ground and background. I appreciate you agree with Todd re-editing for a more dramatic look. You are honest when saying: 'I never quite know how much post processing to do. Sometimes I feel I do too much but then viewers think I should add more'.

That's not your problem. Every body else here faced the same. At least me. How to judge between 'over do' and 'not enough'. That's why I love this Group Discussion.

By the way, I am just curious whether you apply luminosity mask onto this image? See the marked up photo. I am wondering if it is the real fog of the misty background or a halo effect of luminosity mask?

I am now begin to learn Lumenzia by GB. A bit disappointed by his support. I am a typical of learning by doing person. One monitor for the video tutorials and another monitor for Photoshop to follow the step-by-step instructions. He did not provide the practice image for his Panel Tutorials even when I am willing to pay extra. Despite, I have purchased both the Lumenzia Panel and the Multiple Exposure Blending Course.

I know you are using TK Panel. Are you happy with their tutorials? How is your experience with TK and Sean Bagshaw tutorials? Thanks for your inside.		 Jan 13th
70 Jan 19 Comment Hi Glen. What a wonderful shot. It's calm and soothing.

I agree with Todd. To positioned shore line right in the middle of the frame to promote perfect 'balance and harmony'.

I also agree with Kathryn to increase the tonal contrast and make it a bit more punch.

Good work Glen!		 Jan 13th
70 Jan 19 Comment Hi Todd.

Wow, it's tremendous efforts. I really have no experience in this kind of photography. Is it part of the Milky Way?

I like the composition, especially part of the trees at the right corner. It creates depth and matching with the background trees at the bottom right corner.

My only input is a suggestion to reduce sharpening on the mountain side 		Jan 13th
70 Jan 19 Comment Hi Pierre. First, I like the composition. Second, while you were wimps you still perfectly spot this unique frame. It only happened to some one with great passion in photography.

Honestly, my eyes demand a little bit of sharpening to the birds. But be careful it might result in artifact and ruin the whole mood. Some winning photos are indeed blurry. https://www.viewbug.com/contests/blurry-and-abstract-photo-contest

This kind of shot also potential candidaye for DIGITAL ART. https://www.befunky.com/features/photo-to-art/

70 Jan 19 Comment I enjoy reading both Todd and Kathryn's comments. This the fun part of this Group Discussion. Candid and Honest. While English is my second language, I also learned how you all giving photography feedback.

IMHO, I just love Lamar's original composition. The horizon is right in the middle of the frame. It shows a perfect balance and harmony. Two thumbs up to you Lamar!		 Jan 13th
