70 Dec 21 Reply Hi Steven, I really appreciate your thought. Let me try that and see what's the result. It takes me a while as in the process of reorganizing my images into the new computer. Dec 30th
70 Dec 21 Comment Hi Judy, What is strong from this image (to me) is the composition. I agree when Mary used the word framing. Therefore, I would not brightened 'the frame' this much. I would rather make it half way from the original. Thanks for your willingness to coordinate this group 70. Dec 13th
70 Dec 21 Comment Hi Kathryn, your image really makes me excited. As, I am now in the process of learning Dodging and Burning using Lumenzia. This is a perfect challenge on we could add 'drama' to this kind side light image. I wish you don't mind if I used your image for the following experiments.

First, I moved the moon down with Content Aware Scale then expand the sky. To allow me to crop tighter. I used level for global adjustment to darkened the whole image. It was a bit unfortunate the file size allow me to certain value before I started to see color banding and halos. Then I used Dodging with solid fill to relight the mountain texture.

In regards to your question about star effect. I just cannot find any reference on how you can get that kind of star effect with f/4.		 Dec 13th
70 Dec 21 Comment Hi Mary,

I like how you explain your thinking process before capturing this image. The larger herd, the emaciated lone ranger, then you decide your camera settings and literally decide what you want to include and to exclude in your image. You indeed want to tell story for your viewers.

That's exactly what my senior PSA mentor told me when taking pictures for competition. In photo salons, you want to have some thing special in your images ... something different than other's. How you want to make your images stand out among the crowed.

He clearly knows that I am too much relying on my post processing. Honestly, I could make my own excuses why I got trap into this kind of bad shooting habit. Because, I normally take pictures when I follow a public tour. Time for taking pictures are luxurious when you are among the group of cell phone photographers.

However, my mentor noticed that my shooting habit become a default even when I have plenty of time and taking pictures for competition. Now he seriously challenged me if I am still keen to proceed with his course.

Honestly, I feel like to drop out. Your explanation how you capture this image is really blessing disguise to me. It makes me contemplate and reflect ... that my mentor is right! Thanks Mary, now you know how you have helped me change my mind. Merry Christmas to you and your family.		 Dec 12th
70 Dec 21 Comment I like the composition and how you use the walk way as the leading lines here. I think I would desaturate the foreground trees a bit to make the main building looks more standout in the scene. Nice shot Pierre. Dec 12th
70 Dec 21 Comment Hi Mary, thanks for your comments. Indeed, the foreground tree is a bit too warm. And, I am still not happy with the sky edit it start to show halos when it meet trees. Dec 12th
