I live in the country so this image hits home with me. I know of young girls who play hoop or practice their softball hitting and throwing in barns, and to think of one using the threshing floor of a barn to practice dancing isn't too far removed from my reality. If girls can practice ballet in old warehouses in cities, why not barns in the countryside? Your treatment of light is exceptional here. I wouldn't change a thing. Kudos! |

Your skill in painting is amazing. Wonderful background and painting of the young girl. I agree, the eyes could have been sharpened. The blurring of the hands and hair give the impression of movement, which is good since she was dancing. |

This is sooo cool and well done. The expression on the girl is wonderful. Your choice of texture background leaves it to the viewer to decide if it's sky or water. The painting is very well thought out and executed (can I use that term any more?). Kudos! |

I really appreciate what you have done with this image. I like the warmth you added and the blur reminds me of looking out a train or car window as you pass by streams, this putting a touch of fantasy to it. Your foreground of the rock is good. I can't decide if the stick coming out at bottom left is okay or whether it should be removed ... it is a leading line and parallels the tree behind it. |

Your sloping background with the hill at right and whatever it is at left bring the eye back into the image. There is no foreground anchor or directional. I guess I would have come in more of a directional from the left side and used that rock as the foreground anchor to point toward the truck so that the trailer was used more as a side directional to the hill. Hard to tell if you shot from ground level or stood to take this shot. The clouds and sky are wonderful. For me, I'd take the grunge of the truck and center the mage attention on that and get more of a 3/4s side shot. I'd probably love this place and get lost in it for hours! |

So well done and what a great capture - the wing in the right position, the eye sharp, and the water drops and splash just time perfectly. The wing's blur shows action. And the lighting on the head and breast is perfect. Fantastic image! |

An excellent transformation into b&w. I appreciate the lighting from above. The circular flow within the image is also superb. Well done! |

What an excellent and colorful image! You did well cropping to the action of the image, which allows the contrasts and texture to really come out. I don't have any suggestions on how to improve it. Kudos! |

Well done Sanford! Lots of drama with the clouds and the DOF is wonderful. Love how the clouds swoop down onto that peak! Kudos! |

I like your choice of pencil effect on this image. The way you positioned the angel to look at a grave site was well done and impactful. I would suggest that you do some burning (example below) to bring some contrast into the image for more impact and drive home the gaze of the angel at the grave. Topaz can be a lot of fun! |

This looks like an awesome place! Obviously the falls are the point of interest so I would put the upper left falls at the 1/3 point. Showing the tourists gives a sense of the proportion to the size of the falls and rocks. I agree with a horizontal line for better balance. I would just crop off the top of the image with the power poles on it and clean that up a taf here and there. |

Here's a vid on changing the color of anything https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baW9jj0gs0w.
Ditto on positives mentioned above, love the contrast of the rock facings with the leaves. The large rock in the foreground is over bearing and the weight of it is distracting, IMHO. I would have shot over that rock and let that pool be the foreground element. |

Good leading line with white center stripe, and the clouds and sky are wonderful. Note that the clouds and roadway bring the viewer's eye to the right of the image. I also like the contrast you enhanced with the browns on either side of the roadway. You should decide what the focal interest of the image is: the clouds, the distant mountains, the glacier? My take is that the focal point is the peak at right because that's where the leading lines point. Then you have to decide on what cropping would best enhance that central point of focus and if that means sacrificing some of those wonderful clouds, then it should be done. |

John, your image has a lot of good compositional traits: winding roadway, side hills slanting toward distant peak, DOF. I prefer the redo image because it has more contrast but I think your sky replacement choice could have been better. Play around with several other sky replacement choices and see what looks better for you. |
