70 Mar 20 Comment Hi Wayne. Welcome to the club.

First thing that strike my eyes was the bright mountain at the back. I love Zion National Park. I got many shots from there.
To me, mountain at the back is my focal point that brings impact to this image. I like the composition. And, Judy's cropping suggestion definitely makes the mountain looked more prominent.
I would likely suggest selective reduction of vibrance and saturation of foreground and middle-ground. I would specifically suggest less saturation on the red part of the rock on the right. This red object keep pulling my eyes when pondering the image.
I appreciate you took the effort to hike up the creek to get this angle. I know it always tempted to shoot from unusual angle here. However, I always consider our own safety when shooting in this kind of arena. Nice shot Wayne.

70 Mar 20 Reply Hi Wayne, welcome to the club. I have the same concern about the dark tree on the left. I have tried cropping it both horizontally and vertically. Unfortunately, I lost tremendous amount of area with interesting light rays on left and bottom of the image. I have also tried to remove the tree by cloning it but the result seem to be unnatural. I should have tried reverse cloning transparent branches to lit the tree a bit. Thanks for feedback Wayne. Mar 15th
70 Mar 20 Reply Thanks for the idea of brightening the tree trunks. I wish I could have read this comment before sending this image for German Circuit 2020. Mar 15th
70 Mar 20 Reply Grey Caption? That sounds a good idea. Thanks for your suggestion. Mar 15th

70 Mar 20 Comment Hi Judy,

While others has given you general photography comments let me be more specific giving you comments in Sky Replacement.
I did a lot of Sky Replacement for my Travel Photos. I did it all in Photoshop. It is much easier to do Sky Replacement with Luminar 4, Although, the software is awfully slow as a Lightroom plug-in.
The trick of successful Sky Replacement is choosing suitable sky with appropriate light direction.
I think you have chosen suitable sky and light direction. My suggestion is to tweak the water color and match it with sky color. I think, it will look more natural to change the water color rather than to change the sky color. Nice efforts Judy.		 Mar 14th
70 Mar 20 Comment I like dramatic finish look of the image. Awesome. Mar 14th
70 Mar 20 Comment I think I agree with Judy, Wayne and Lamar comments. First, the composition is just perfect. I agree to tune down the dark sky a bit to make more balance in the overall look. It's a bit to crisp too my taste. Nice work Todd. Mar 14th
70 Mar 20 Comment Hi Pierre,

I love the idea how you compose the image in three color layers. Dark grey, light brown and white. I suggest you keep the color as it is. To me, its unique. Let's compare with portrait composition. I think this is stronger than the landscape format. 		Mar 14th
70 Mar 20 Comment My first impression when viewing this image was the yellow canoe and the sun rise. To me, this was the impact element and fixation points of the image. I love this simple composition and also its color harmony. I wonder if I see a bit of chromatic aberration on the left of the image. Where trees were back-lighted by sun light. Mar 14th
