27 May 20 Reply My next revision will be too lighten up the foreground before I make a print. May 26th
27 May 20 Reply I did about 8 layers of dodge and burn in Capture One. May 19th
27 May 20 Comment This is tough.. this is not your typical landscape but an interesting view of the harbor which is busy one based on the industrial stuff surrounding it. I am ok with seeing the additional land up top to give it some perspective. May 15th
27 May 20 Comment HMMM.. not sure what to say.. interesting, it could use a little more contrast and noise reduction. May 15th
27 May 20 Comment The simplification really makes this a good PJ image. I like your last version because the back ground is a little distracting. It could just use some of the pop and texture of the original. May 15th
27 May 20 Reply One of the reasons I stopped using Silver Effects was because of the halos and the gritty appearance on some photos. May 15th
27 May 20 Comment Really nice composition and framing of this big cat. Overall it seems a little bright since he-she is probably in shade. May 15th
27 May 20 Reply Good catch Becca.. the green leaves could be removed if for pictorial purposes. May 15th
27 May 20 Comment I agree with others and the image seems overexposed which has increased the noise. The challenge with noise reduction and astro-photo is they lose their sharpness and the fainter ones become lost. Most astro photographers either use a very fast lens, 2.8 or faster and stack multiple images for the sky. Then they shoot a second long exposure for the foreground at a lower ISO. The other option is using a camera that is great for high ISO photography with the fast lens. May 15th
27 May 20 Comment This is really nice in many ways; composition, story and the editing to enhance Henna and bring back the monk. Well done! May 15th

36 May 20 Reply Ok, good to know even though I don't enter exhibitions anymore.. BTW, love the composition! May 26th
36 May 20 Comment Wonderful image! I also love to photograph the night sky when I have the chance. Curious, why did you take the risk with the double exposure and not merge the files in post? May 26th

44 May 20 Reply Larry, thank you for visiting! The D300 was a great camera in its day and Nikon took way too long to upgrade. I changed to Sony about 3 years ago and haven't looked back. May 26th
44 May 20 Comment The processing is natural with a little bit of extra saturation. The lighting on the front tree is nice, just wished it stood out more from the background. Awesome clouds! May 15th
44 May 20 Comment Good subject matter and closeups are always fun. Unfortunately the car is a little soft and the busy background is in focus. May 15th
44 May 20 Comment Very cool, excellent composition and the dude really completes the photo. The processing looks very natural. Well Done! May 15th
44 May 20 Comment Beautiful post card lighthouse and big bummer that no one else can appreciate it up close..So anyone can see it from this angle? It is very colorful and the processing is excellent. The dodging and burning is not noticeable anywhere. Personally I might tone it down just a bit. May 15th
44 May 20 Comment You do find some pretty cool old stuff to photograph with lots of texture. Well done as always and the only thing I might do is remove the breaker panel in the rear, just seems out of place. There is also a gray/blueish something about 25% down from the top that could be cloned out. May 15th
