36 Feb 23 Comment You did same great post-processing work and caught a fortuitus scene. A couple of suggestions - consider cropping in some from the left. My eye is drawn to the bright ground in the foreground so I would consider at least reducing the highlights in the foreground. Well seen. Feb 15th
36 Feb 23 Comment I don't think the image would have been better if you planned it. Nicely seen. I like the composition with the diagonals of the tree line and clouds and the inclusion of the foreground trees. Good choice of color palette. Like Adi, I would consider cropping in just a bit from the left and top but not much. To my eye the sun lite trees look a bit soft, but we lose so much detail with the upload specs so it may just be that. Including the moon was a nice touch. Feb 15th
36 Feb 23 Reply It appears to be the remains of a kite. I should have cloned it out. Most of it was hanging out to the left of the tree so I moved over a bit to try to hide it. Feb 15th
36 Feb 23 Comment I like your composition and tonal values. To my eye you included just the right amount of the sky. Centering the building and not showing the ends works well for me. Regarding the people, I was a bit confused at first when I saw the image thinking it was a processing mistake. For me, having the people be more recognizable but still blurred a bit would have worked better. Again, just my taste. Feb 7th
36 Feb 23 Comment I agree with Larry's comments and his suggestion of a crop. It is always good not to see a portion of a line like a road blocked. Topaz Sharpen AI may be able to help sharpen the trees. I like your thought though to do a vertical shot including the road. I also like that you did not over saturate the tree colors but left them more natural. Feb 7th
36 Feb 23 Reply That is one incredible piece of work then Feb 2nd
36 Feb 23 Comment I really like the idea of what you tried to do here. However, technically, it appears to be a combination of inconsistent images. There is a shadow under the tree, the roof of the building is lit and the side of the lighthouse shows some light as well. A stary sky would have taken a long exposure in the dark so a sharp lighthouse beam would not be consistent either. But, as a work of art, it works so sometimes art trumps technical. I do agree with Larry that I would crop in a bit from the left. Feb 2nd
36 Feb 23 Comment Excellent planning which resulted in a unique image. I like the amount of brick pavement you included. It gives a sense of place, the reflection adds a lot of interest to the image and the leading lines of the bricks directs my eye to the building and sun. To me, the exposure is right on as well. The buildings are still in some darkness making the scene look realistic. I know you didn't have a choice, but ideally it would have been nice of the trees on both sides would have framed the building. The tree interceding from the left is a bit of a distraction. Overall, a very creative image. Yes, 17 degrees is a bit colder than I experienced. Feb 2nd
