27 Feb 23 Reply I will send you an email.. Feb 23rd
27 Feb 23 Comment I have never been to Africa so I prefer to see the area and the vastness of where they live. I find the mom and child a little distracting since your subject are the 2 people and the stuff they sell in the middle of nowhere. I have an alternate crop. Feb 23rd
27 Feb 23 Comment The sky is quite lovely and thanks to the cold weather, the trees are bare and the sky is visible. I might tone down the bright orange area up top, kind of pulls the eye away from the scene.

On a side note, the image looks very pixelated. What is your JPG compression percentage? I would try to keep it is as large as possible without going over 999kb.		 Feb 23rd
27 Feb 23 Comment Everyone seemed to get caught up in the technique of focus stacking. There is a lot of information out there on Youtube and other sites. I like the texture and the formation of the frost in the upper third. I am not sure the red section adds anything but I think the image would benefit from more contrast to give it a little more pop. Feb 23rd
27 Feb 23 Comment Very affective technique all around with the colors very vibrant and a simple background. You could selectively heal a few areas of her hair where the bright background is showing through. Other than that, well done! Feb 23rd
27 Feb 23 Comment Cool car and sign, a nice combination with color and contrast. I don't think the sky really adds to the image, we already know its hot and sunny. I think some extra texture via HDR would help with the car plus the advantage of additional shadow detail. Most of the HDR programs including LR produce a very natural looking image these as compared to the grunge style of the past. Feb 23rd
27 Feb 23 Comment An absolutely fun and adorable image, perfect for your clubs competition. Feb 23rd

44 Feb 23 Comment Really is a lovely image and the moon is the icing on the cake. My guess the very slight halo is from the setting sun behind the rocks? Feb 23rd
44 Feb 23 Comment I like this viewpoint, really shows the size and the grand entrance to the church. Some great suggestions by Jane and Rick because when I first looked at the image, it was a little flat and the colors a little over saturated. Really is a beautiful building and unfortunately the building behind on the right is a little distracting with its bright colors. Perhaps tone those down as well. Feb 23rd
44 Feb 23 Comment Are you referring to the bright red spots in the stain glass? That is a lot of purple, is it really that color? Very cool perspective showing the pipes shooting out. I think you did as well as you could with the lamp without another darker exposure. The only other thing I might adjust is the lights in the arches on the bottom, the ones on the left are a little bright. Feb 23rd
44 Feb 23 Comment The overall scene and composition is very nice and the sun flare adds something to the photo. I am glad you were not able to totally remove it. I do agree with Rick that the scene needed some additional contrast and saturation, but his might be a bit overdone. DeNoise works very well but it can certainly be overdone, use it in very small increments, the old saying, a little goes a long way. Feb 23rd
44 Feb 23 Comment I think the changing of the ravine looks great and really helps an already wonderful photograph. Not sure what else to add but I look forward to visiting the area some day. Feb 23rd
44 Feb 23 Reply The cropping was tricky in regards to the right and the foreground which I really like. Feb 14th
