34 Apr 24 Comment What a tremendous efforts and creativity. I like to hear how you enjoyed putting and combining the original elements. Very fine work! Apr 30th
34 Apr 24 Comment Hi Jan. What awesome creation. I am excited to see this creation since I have two Lili ponds in my front yard. I promised you to steal the idea shamelessly. Apr 30th
34 Apr 24 Comment I agree with all in this group. The original is more enjoyable to see. I think it's more enjoyable when viewing with 3D glasses. Apr 30th
34 Apr 24 Comment It reminds me of Palouse. I like it. Btw, I enjoy discussion between Jan and Gunter. I learn a lot from you guys. Apr 30th
34 Apr 24 Reply Hi Jan. Thanks for your comments. The small speck beneath the bird are mud splash when the bird start to take off from muddy ground. Please review my reply to mark to Mike's curiosity. Apr 26th
34 Apr 24 Reply Hi Mike. Thanks for your observance. Fortunately, the speckled from the original image. It was mud speckled when the bird started to take off from the muddy ground. I purposely include this mud speckled to add sense of movement. Apr 26th
34 Apr 24 Reply Hi Gunter. Thanks for your good words. Apr 26th
34 Apr 24 Reply Hi Stephen. Your comments worth more than a salon medal to me. Thank you so much. Apr 26th
34 Apr 24 Reply Thanks Steve. I really appreciate you understand the concept of Asian yin and yang. I really consider balance between elements of my composite image. Apr 26th

70 Apr 24 Reply It's awfully awesome and make me really curious. The position of the birds are so perfect to me. :) Apr 30th
70 Apr 24 Comment Hi Kirk. Likely, we both have the same taste of editing style. Saturate and crispy images. The rocks look crisp and dimensional. I wonder if you have applied dodge and burn. The pitfall is always the 'halos'. I saw a bit of halo where dark arc rock meet the bright sky. I hope you remember our discussion about removing halos. Apr 26th
70 Apr 24 Comment Hi Kathryn. I like the composition and the choice of f/9 so it almost clear from front to back. You did not mention the speed but I guess it's more than 1/60 sec for crisp water ripples. I think a bit of dodging onto the dark shadow side on the right buildings would make it more appealing. Apr 26th
70 Apr 24 Comment Hi Geoff. I just want to ensure that I understand your explanation. Is it a composite of two images? Apr 26th
70 Apr 24 Comment Hi Stefaan. You have successfully combine between dreamy look sky with crisp foreground and background. Like Pierre, I am also curious about your shooting parameters like aperture, ISO and speed setting. Any tripod usage? Apr 26th
70 Apr 24 Comment Hi Pierre. I like how you positioned your main elements (the sun, the boat and the swimmers). I suggest to remove the swimmer on the left and shrink the image by using content aware scale to balance the composition within rule of third. It's just a personal taste. Apr 26th
70 Apr 24 Reply Hi Pierre. This was an old building complex in India. The place where the organizer provides widow dance photo concept. I did not go into the building myself. Apr 25th
70 Apr 24 Reply Hi Geoff. Thanks for your comments and kind words. Apr 25th

90 Apr 24 Comment Hi Jack. From my experience, there is a bit of luck factors in taking animal pictures. This image is one of a good example. You are lucky. The wood tree is in the same color and texture as the bird. If it's in RAW, I would normally create two copy layers. 1st, the sharp image. 2nd the image with negative texture, negative clarity and negative haze. All by moving the sliders to the left. Add a bit of vignette around the bird. This will make the bird more obvious. I would then masked out the bird. I agree with LC to update the crop a bit. Apr 30th
90 Apr 24 Comment Hi Dan, It's a great capture. I appreciate your editing skill when I saw the original image. I would remove the duck far back at the center between two Swans, dim out the water and increase the Swans and water speckled around it to make more outstanding. I also did a bit of cropping. Apr 30th
90 Apr 24 Comment Hi Ginny, this is a good shot. It just need enhancement that I know you are endeavoring to lean. Apr 30th
90 Apr 24 Comment Hi LC. This picture is not a real wild life. I shot this in a captive or pre-arranged environment. Originally, the snake eyes are not red, I changed the color. Thanks for your suggestion to add a bit of space on the left side to make the composition more balance. Apr 30th
90 Apr 24 Reply Hi Dan. Indeed this blue viper is venomous snake. It was all done in a pre-arranged environment. Apr 30th
90 Apr 24 Reply Hi Ginny. Thanks for your good words! Apr 30th
