34 Feb 23 Comment Hi Mike. I enjoy to see you having fun with your image. Indeed, to me, photography is fun. I release my self from one of PSA course because it was too stressful. I just love your image. Keep having fun with photography. Feb 19th
34 Feb 23 Comment Hi Jan. I do not have have enough words to describe how I like this image. You have chosen perfect background to make the heart looks 'glowing and alive'. Nice work Jan. Feb 19th
34 Feb 23 Comment Hi Steve. The unique things that I like is how you ghost your own portrait into the composition. This what makes this creation special. Good job Steve. Feb 19th
34 Feb 23 Comment I wonder all friends in this group experience the same. My computer took more time to down load the DDG page. Comment images are presented as icons. You could see the image only by clicking it but it was slow to open.

Hi Gunter. I like your original creations. the unique color tones makes me have a close look. Awesome creations.

34 Feb 23 Reply Hi Steve. Thanks for your kind words and suggestions. Please review my reply to Gunter. What's the significance benefit between Topaz Mask AI and PS masking tools? Feb 19th
34 Feb 23 Reply Hi Gunter. Your suggestion was my original idea. Honestly, I was having difficulty to remove the sunset radiant. It takes me a while to configure out how to clean this part. Feb 19th
34 Feb 23 Reply Hi Candy. Thanks for kinds words. Feb 19th

70 Feb 23 Reply Hi Geoff. Thanks for your comments. Most Cappadocia balloon in the internet would be fully inflated. I purposely choose this halfway deflated balloon from my stock images to make a difference. My balloon pilot willingly entertained us by coming down a bit late so the sun started produce side shadows. He knew that we came all the way to Cappadocia for taking pictures. Don't miss Cappadocia balloon if you have a chance to visit Turkey.

70 Feb 23 Reply Hi Pierre. Thanks to both of you and Stephen comments about how your eyes travel when reviewing my image. Basically, our eyes would first get attracted to bright and contrast elements and follow leading lines. I learned it from several references. That's why, I purposely dehaze only parts of my image to attract my viewers' eye attention. Some landscape editors even create Orton Effect to get the mood of dreamy and gloomy look. Feb 20th
70 Feb 23 Reply Hi Steve. I have not heard from you for a while. Yes I remember you said that your wife is Turkish. How is her family members in Turkey? I hope they are all safe from recent earthquake. The scenery from the balloon were, indeed, so hazy. It took me a while to effectively dehaze my Cappadocia images. I normally used Dehaze slider in Lightroom before further post process in PS. Please continue reading my reply to Pierre. Feb 20th
70 Feb 23 Comment Hi Kirk, I love the composition and your shooting angle. I edited a little bit to make it more dramatic. Feb 20th
70 Feb 23 Comment Nice capture Kathryn. I would normally edit this kind of scenery separately. The sky and the shadow. I used luminosity mask to darken the shadow. Feb 20th
70 Feb 23 Comment Hi Geoff. I love this image so much. My only suggestion is to darken part of the tree shadow to make the foreground looks more dramatic. Feb 19th
70 Feb 23 Comment I agree with both Pierre and Geoff comments. What is good here is the dramatic sky and the lighting. I think I might get into the same situation when I have to choose between the opera house or the bridge. The water seems a bit too smooth to me. When the sky is sooth, I might want to see building reflection in crispy water. Feb 19th
70 Feb 23 Comment Hi Pierre. What a wonderful image. I like how you include your son into the picture. It makes the scene looks much more alive. I agree with Geoff to clean the debris on the lake. Feb 19th
70 Feb 23 Comment I just love to see how you post processed your image. I love to see the musician rather than her back. As a photography traveler I am particular concern about legal requirements for publishing some one images.

As far as I am concern, anyone is allowed to take photos of anyone or anything in a public space. If the photo is for personal enjoyment, nothing else is required-you don't need a model release form or permission.

90 Feb 23 Comment Hi Dan. I agree with every body that this is a great image. It would be stronger with less empty space. The bird would be more outstanding in action. Feb 21st
90 Feb 23 Comment Hi Ginny. I love the color and composition. I agree with Jack. My eyes wants to see the bird's eye. Feb 21st
90 Feb 23 Reply Hi Jack. Thanks for your suggestion. I might have to crop it square 1:1. Feb 21st
