5 Jun 18 Reply He is beautiful and you did an amazing job enhancing his beauty. Thank you for sharing. Jun 14th
5 Jun 18 Comment The same peacock posed for me. Well maybe not the same one, but I have a similar shot as your original. You said that your image was not from the original. It is beautiful. How did you create it in novice terms please. Jun 14th

27 Jun 18 Reply Thanks for your comment, Danny. You are right about taking the image without distractions rather than trying to fix them up later, but this was a grab shot. Too often when you ask to take the photo, people pose and the image ends up looking unnatural.
Beer in the image would have been nice, but...

27 Jun 18 Reply Thank you. I just learned to how darken the background without saturating it completely. I will try it in another photo perhaps next month.
All help is greatly appreciated.

27 Jun 18 Reply Thank you for your suggestion, Barbara. As a novice photographer, I really appreciate not only your comment, but the simple instruction on how to get it done. I also like that you lightened his face. In real life, he face was very red, probably from too many beers, but the color you selected was a big improvement. How were you able to do that? Any help is greatly appreciated. I am very eager to learn. Jun 14th
27 Jun 18 Comment I think I would still try to darken the very light areas. That is where my eyes wander. Your subject is much sharper in this one and that is great. Jun 12th
27 Jun 18 Reply Thank you, Becca. I noticed the same thing as you did about the sleeve. I had to delete the man with the green shirt that was in the original photo and I thought I could just use the clone brush to extend the shirt. I didn't notice that it didn't work so well until I saw it on the site. A tighter crop might have worked. I just didn't think about that.
Thank you.

27 Jun 18 Reply Thank you Oliver and thanks for the suggestion of the frame. I love that idea and will try it in the future. I am still learning so all suggestions are greatly appreciated. Jun 10th
27 Jun 18 Comment Great image. The sky is so interesting and full of detail. Great job. Jun 9th
27 Jun 18 Comment My eyes to the Samsung sign. Perhaps that could have been removed or the white in the sign darkened a bit. I love the red sails on the boat and the color reflections in the water. Jun 9th
27 Jun 18 Comment In the B&W image some of the petals of the lily look like they are way past their prime. I like the background in transition, but it almost looks like a shot of dead flowers. Jun 9th
27 Jun 18 Comment I like this image better in B&W than the color version, but I think it is too soft. The subject was sharper in original 2. Although the people in the background have been blurred, the background is still too distracting to me. Jun 9th
27 Jun 18 Comment Fabulous image. It has so much impact. It is probably better in B&W than if it were in color. His eyes make the image. I also love how you can see each hair in his mustache. The background is great too. All around...fantastic. Jun 9th
