10 Apr 26 Reply Susan, Thanks for nice and encouraging comments. Apr 15th
10 Apr 26 Reply Meredith. You are absolutely right. Ps is far more accurate than Lr for removal and masking tool. Apr 13th
10 Apr 26 Comment Hi Meredith. This is a lovely composite. I prefer the softness of the original. I started to see some white clipping in the posted image, at the grass on the right and a bit from the rainbow. I suggest reducing the overall contrast a bit. I am curious why you have to remove the distracting vegetation in PS if that can be done in LR. Apr 13th
10 Apr 26 Comment I wouldn't have recognized it as a tulip if you hadn't mentioned it. I really like your original approach-the soft surroundings gently drawing the eye toward a sharp center. We share a similar taste in that style. That said, this version still has its own charm, and I wouldn't change anything. Nice work! Apr 13th
10 Apr 26 Comment Hi Dona. I like the soft, dreamy feel-it's very atmospheric. But I found my eyes searching for a point of focus. Even a slight sharp detail might help anchor the viewer while keeping that beautiful mood. I am a kind of agree with Dough Wolters comment. Apr 13th
10 Apr 26 Reply Hi Bob. Thanks for your comments. SOOC images are always challenging. I asked my self how to make the SOOC more interesting than the original scene. My constraint in editing process was how to make it enough but not too much. I did not take from a drone but a bridge prepared by the local photo concept organizers. Apr 13th
10 Apr 26 Reply Hi Doug. Your opinions are well appreciated. Apr 13th
10 Apr 26 Reply Hi Tom, thanks for your good words. To answer your question. Yes it was taken from some sort of a bridge prepared by the local photo concept organizers. Apr 13th
10 Apr 26 Reply Hi Dona. At first, I was never a fan of pre-arranged concepts. I've always leaned toward candid, uned moments. But stepping into local photo clubs, I was exposed to a different world. Friends introduced me to travel photography organizers, and I began to see the growing pull of conceptual work.

It made me realize: photography today is no longer just about capturing reality. It's about crafting meaning. Conceptual photography is thriving-shaped by social media and the need for deeper visual storytelling. It invites us to build scenes, direct emotion, and transform ideas into images through staging, props, and thoughtful post-processing. In a way, it's not less authentic-just a different kind of truth. By the way I really appreciate your comments and opinions.		 Apr 13th
10 Apr 26 Reply Hi Meredith. I really appreciate your warm and encouraging words. Apr 13th
10 Apr 26 Reply Hi Steven. Thanks for your comments and suggestions. You make me learn how to listen from other opinions. Apr 13th
