I had 50 years of newspaper photojournalism Jorn, so I'm looking for more expressive ways in my photography now. I respect your view and lived it, now I'm branching out. |

The new Texture slider in Lightroom can help with those skin blemishes by dragging it to the left. The action in the photo is her hands so I'd crop it a bit, but that's my photojournalist speaking. Good project to start, you'll have a lot of fun doing it. It's important to speak to them and keep a smile on their face as you snap. |

Keeping the excellence coming, thank you! Can't be critical in any way beyond what Ian suggested. |

Ditto what Ian said. For me, I'd crop off a lot of the bottom and make it a horizontal image, rim to rim. Sometimes zooming in to what's burning against what's not burning can give you a good capture. Better to underexpose such an image and then use PP to brighten things up. |

Like your orange theme. Nice capture! I'd edit out the bottom of the sandwich board sign at left and bring the vertical crop on the right edge into the photo a bit. Nice street photo! |

The more sky, the smaller the tree seems. Definitely the clouds make the photo and the tree counter weights the the clouds at top right. Minimalist. Could make a 16x9 out of the left side too for a vertical that would be interesting too. Nice capture! |

Topaz Studio is free and comes with some stuff, but then you have to buy added effects. |

Thanks Charles! It takes me 2-3 hours to get the image where I like it. |

I use an effect in Painting and then one of the Bluebell effects to finish it off in TopazStudio. The final step is blurring it a bit in PS using Gaussian Blur at about 1.6. |

Ditto on Gary. I'm envious of the shot, not the water experience! What a beautiful country and nice capture! |

Gary and Sumit, I took your eye for it and changed the horizon. |

Great image to dabble around with, good composition. What is the main focus? The bridge? I'd dabble around with darkening the sky to bring out detail and use a black vignette to center the focus. So much to work with!Let me know how Luminar Flex works for you, I just got it too. |

Can't beat a John Deere!Sky seems a little too dark, use a circular filter around the tractor to brighten it a bit and make it the focus of the image? Like the fence and buildings drawing the eye toward the tractor. My kind of country! |

Ditto with the sky. This would have been a great subject for Intentional Camera Movement.The composition is so inviting! |

Thanks! I used the lighthouse for a horizontal line as I saw that using the horizon tipped the lighthouse and that bothered me. I know what you mean about the horizon; it was a crap shoot which I used. Yes, I had VG in mind when I created the painting. |
