11 May 25 Comment Very nice image, and great mono conversion. I like that you can still see some detail in the shadows. I've been there and its hard to keep the shadows from just going black. Two suggestions you might try if interested. Bring out the texture in the sand and crop from the right to bring more attention to totem pole. May 26th
11 May 25 Comment Wow, nothing to suggest. How much did you have to pay the bird? Motivates me to go out and shoot on days where not much seems to be happening. May 26th
11 May 25 Comment Very nice, and great editing. Just a few suggestions of things to try, but I'm not certain they would be an improvement. Darken the background so the web and drops stand out even more, and crop from the left and maybe a bit from the bottom to improve image balance. Again - not certain if they would be an improvement.

17 May 25 Reply Thanks for the comments Suzanne. I acutually tried something new for this series. StarStax lets you choose a lighten blending mode - which results in an image using the brightest pixels from each of the individual frames, and a darken blending mode which does the opposite. The darken mode results in an image with no stars, airplanes or the guy who walked across the scene with a flashlight. The lighten mode gives you the star trails. I loaded both as layers in photoshop with the lighten blend on top, then selected and deleted the foreground from the lighten blend so that the foreground from below was visible (select sky in the lighten layer, then invert). I did need to use masking to eliminate the airplane trails from the lighten layer, and do a small exposure adjustment since the black sky in the darken layer is just slightly darker than in the lighten layer. No need to do any blending other than that. May 23rd
