27 Nov 22 Reply Actually they were leaning a lot before editing, LOL Nov 30th
27 Nov 22 Comment Very cool, certainly makes them more interesting. I like the angle you have chosen to photograph the scene and the road is a nice lead in as well. Nov 21st
27 Nov 22 Comment You have captured a nice and different look for a fall image. Left to right diagonal might work better. I might be inclined to heal the highlights on the berries, they really get my attention. Nov 21st
27 Nov 22 Comment Based on your title, the Cattails are the subject in your photo. Unfortunately they are getting a bit lost with the foreground and bright background. I think your second try (just under Jon's comments) is the best of the bunch. It still retains the fall feel and a pinch more attention on the tails. But the tails still need to be lightened to stand out. Nov 21st
27 Nov 22 Comment Very nice scene with the waterway leading your eyes into the image. I think the conversion to B&W worked pretty well but to me it still seems a little flat. You have held the highlights but I think it could use more contrast. Nov 21st
27 Nov 22 Comment The composition is very nice and the shutter speed seems ideal, even though a tad quicker would have also worked. I prefer the color of the scene on the main image even though the water is not quite white anymore. Nov 21st
27 Nov 22 Comment The composition is very nice and the soft colors are lovely. You could crop off a little off the bottom, but not a big deal. Not quite sure why you would need a faster lens, the sailboat does not look to be moving very quickly. Nov 21st

44 Nov 22 Comment Really is a very lovely composition with the river running through the canyon. Looks like you were dealing with some contrasty light. I do agree with Rick, I think the greens are a bit strong in particular the section below the reddish rock. Did you try this with ACR instead of Photomatix, it can be a pretty realistic blend? Nov 18th
44 Nov 22 Comment Welcome to the group and great subject! I am in definite agreement with everyone in regards to the sky. HDR software can do some pretty strange stuff to skies and between PS and Luminar, sky replacement is a breeze these days. I like what both Tom and Lisa did to suggest improvements to your image. I like the warming and toning down of the green from Lisa. I do like Tom's version of the backside of the barn, just be sure to watch the underside of the overhang. Nov 18th
44 Nov 22 Reply Very interesting change to the barn color, I don't think I would have through to do that, pretty clever. Nov 18th
44 Nov 22 Comment As everyone has said, a very nice composition and looks very natural with the white bridge standing out. The trees above the bridge do look a bit odd, sometimes Photomatix struggles with high contrast areas, in particular trees. For whatever reason, the whites become gray when you try to adjust the contrast & brightness. Nov 18th
44 Nov 22 Comment I have been there twice and love Bryce, one of my favorite places to visit. Looks like you and I both submitted an image with a retro camera! I like the depth in the photo and the hoodoos look really nice. With these older cameras, for whatever reason which I have experienced as well, the clouds just look strange. I ended doing a sky replacement for a couple of mine (which you might see next round) and it seems to help. Nov 18th
44 Nov 22 Comment For whatever reason, I really like the blue cast to the image with the yellow window. The colors really go nicely together even though not entirely realistic. I also like that you didn't crop out that small light area, feeds your eyes out of the scene as it should. I agree with Don, could use a little more texture since it is an old place. Nov 18th
44 Nov 22 Reply I have not tried the boundary warp.. just watched a video, cool. Nov 9th
