76 Nov 24 Comment Sophie, nice choice in a pano treatment! The Zs are very dominant in the image and the white birds balance out the foreground well. You need more DOF and I would suggest doing some burning of the impalas and the hill area. Also, I'd used a gradient filter on the sky as I see some clouds and they should be brought out to have more contrast within the image. I'd also clone out the impala coming into the left side of the image. You did a great job in not having the left Zs ear extend over the background hill. Nov 23rd
76 Nov 24 Comment Henriette, a wonderfully composed and processed image! Kudos!! Sharp where it needs to be and softened background a powerful combo. Why did you choose to lighten the dark green foliage? My only idea would be to clone in foliage along the right side as the light sky is a distraction. Nov 23rd
76 Nov 24 Comment Wonderful composition! Just had some of this in trivia this past week:
How did Dracula get his name?
While writing his endlessly influential novel Dracula, author Bram Stoker was inspired by Central European folklore in general and Vlad III in particular, whom history often remembers by a more colorful name: Vlad the Impaler. The son of Vlad Dracul, he's believed to have been born in Transylvania, eventually became voivode (ruler) of Wallachia (a region of Romania south of Transylvania), and more than earned his nickname by impaling his enemies. Vlad Dracul took his name when he joined the Order of the Dragon, a secret cabal of Christian knights; "dracul" is Romanian for "dragon." As fate would have it, "Dracula" means "son of Dracul."

76 Nov 24 Comment Jay, I've never been to a lavender field/farm before and have seen some wonderful images from them. I would ask, what is the main focus, the story about? If it is the field, then you should have done some macro photography. I have cropped it to tell a story about the beauty of nature coexisting with the hand of man, the steam clouds from the nuke plant. I also cropped the image and used a gradient on the lavender to dark it a bit to bring out more the color. I would also tone down the blue at top left to somewhat match the original so as to not make it so dominant in the image. I set the flumes on the right third. It's hard creating good foreground in a situation like this and often photographers get in close to the flowering plant/shrub and then focus stack the composition. Nov 23rd
76 Nov 24 Comment Sanford, a really nice shot. I would lop off the left side so the trail begins almost at the bottom left corner while still retaining the slope of the hill at back top right. I would suggest using a little more burning on the orange-yellow of the main hill and the green-yellow n the pathway to it, and burn the shadow areas to create mote contrast within the image. You may also want to burn the clouds with a gradient filter to create more drama. A solid shot that can become epic! Nov 23rd
76 Nov 24 Comment Nice result from a pano stitch. Did you use LR, PS, or LuminarNEO? Nature areas here in Wisconsin often do burns but by summer you hardly know they did as ground cover comes to life. IMHO, you could go further down this road where the gulley is deeper on the left, get closer to the ground, and experiment with angles. You don't need the treetops or sky, so concentrate on the trunks. Looking forward to what you come up with! Nov 23rd
76 Nov 24 Reply "turned off the ground"? Do you mean darken? I did use a gradient on the bottom grass to darken and the strong late afternoon sun really lit things up. Nov 23rd
