56 Jul 22 Reply Thanks Jaci, I jotted down every step I took for this, but have just learned about fine adjusting HSL in PS so used it on this image. Jul 24th
56 Jul 22 Reply Pat, I do have a few T-Birds but not at a vintage gas station. We just had our annual car show in town so I got a hundred more images to practice on! Jul 24th
56 Jul 22 Comment Love the sharp detail on the bird's eye and beak and the texture blending is well done. Why did you choose the texture you did, how does that relate to the story you're trying to tell? I agree with Nancy on the light position. I appreciate your recommendation of the video, it helps all of us to learn a little more along our journey. Very well done painting. Jul 24th
56 Jul 22 Comment Kudos on a piece so well done! Love everything you have done with the bird, flowers, and background. My only ponderance is whether the bird's eye should align with the Golden Ratio line and if more of the bottom ought to be cut off ... art is so subjective at times, I guess that's why some people drive Fords and others Buicks. I love what you have, don't get me wrong! Jul 24th
56 Jul 22 Comment My bad on swapping the images, sorry Gerhard! I think I so loved the orignal photo because of the bird and wood being so sharply in focus. Switching between my photo and painting groups sometimes is a challenge for me - kind of like when I was shooting a sports game and I would get so intrigued at the action that I forgot to take a photo. In the painted version, you kept the wood texture and it nicely contrasts with that of the feathers. The canvas background tells the viewer that yes, it's painted. Very well done.

56 Jul 22 Comment Ditto on compliments above. I like the grunge background and think this would be outstanding printed on a metal plate! Jul 24th
56 Jul 22 Comment Wow, that's psychodelic! I'm sure you could sell a framed print of this to marijuana shops. The heart shape and the circular motion within it is well thought out. The contrasts of colors and light is so well done. Jul 24th
56 Jul 22 Reply The bottom right corner is where I put my watermark, so it is darker. I did lighten it up a tad now though. Jul 11th

76 Jul 22 Comment Shooting "out" was a great choice of this image because you can effectively crop to make its impact greater. I prefer the b&w. Drama for b&w is in the contrast between lights, darks and midtones. For some this means using curves for others (like me) I use layers sliders. I used templates from TopazStudio for HDR, Infrared, and Ansels Adams. Then I put the woman on the right third of the Golden Ratio. Jul 24th
76 Jul 22 Comment There's definitely a photo within a photo here. Less is more. You captured enough of a scene to work it for a more impactful image. Ask youself, what's the story? For me, it's thelower part of the image with the dynamic colors. These can be enhanced by burning the highlights and then use layers/curves to darken the black and midtones to create more contrasting light within the image. I've attached my idea. Jul 24th
76 Jul 22 Comment Nice capture, the focus on the eyes and beak is sharp. I'd use the spot healing brush on the three distracting tan lines and two lighter circular areas below the neck of the bird. The major space at right is very nice and makes the viewer wonder what the bird is hunting. Jul 24th
76 Jul 22 Comment The front bird is nicely in focus but I think a crop could save this image. The bird's eye and beak are in focus, which is excellent! Jul 24th
76 Jul 22 Comment A wonderful capture and I think you did a great job on the light/darkness. Why did you chose to include the small illumiated triangular element at right? I also think there wold be less distraction if you omitted the dots of lights i the background at middle right so it balances out with that's at left. The line of lights at bottom of display is nicely done. Jul 24th

88 Jul 22 Comment B&W was an excellent choice for this image. I agree with Charle son the lightening suggestion and Rich with the cropping.I would have tried to get the uppermost part of the tree positioned in the break of the trees in the background so it protrudes into the sky for better definition. Jul 23rd
88 Jul 22 Comment The sky choice suits this image and you incorporated it well. The bridge immediately grabs your eye and the highway line leads you through the image and the mountain line brings you back to the bridge. Nicely done! Jul 23rd
88 Jul 22 Comment Very creative and I think that you could use a single tree very effectively in and of itself. I especially like the bottom left. Jul 23rd
88 Jul 22 Comment Charles, often we forget that our photographs are art. You're the artist and it's up to you to tell the story you want. I'm a darkness and saturation/luminence guy so your image doesn't set me back. Heavy blue sets a distinct mood and if that's what you wish to convey here its okay. Silhouettes and reflections are wonderful. Blue Hour sunset is a distinct time of day, between light and darkness, a netherworld where our thoughts are often suspended in time: thanksful for the beauty of the day's sunset and an anticipation of the night's sky to come. It's a pensive time of day. Jul 23rd
88 Jul 22 Comment Louis, there are so many strong elements in this image. I love the red - the eye instantly goes there and you have no doubt what the story is. The sky is wonderful and your two leading lines at left and right merge at the camp site. I would suggest having a square crop to minimize the foreground the make the rule of thirds work for you. Jul 23rd
