27 Mar 23 Comment Cute dog! Your cloning of the foreground definitely helped and removing the blade of grass across the face would help. Mar 14th
27 Mar 23 Comment Excellent subject and some good comments about the depth of field. The middle flower is definitely over exposed a little bit. This is a tough one to crop because you would be slicing other flowers. Mar 14th
27 Mar 23 Comment Good choice to convert to black and white. The brown tones are a little lost with the conversion. Possibly play around with the color sliders in the B&W software software you used to bring them out some more. Mar 14th
27 Mar 23 Comment A very nice subject and well photographed in color. The conversion worked well, especially the sky which really benefited. I agree with Danny in regards to the bottom right corner. Is there any more contrast to be gained in the mountain on the left? Mar 14th
27 Mar 23 Comment Interesting project and pretty cool retro subject. The photo does seem to be cropped pretty tightly, is there more room in the original? Perhaps a little more contrast might bring out a little more white in the horse. Mar 14th
27 Mar 23 Comment The black and white really works great with this image. The texture in petals is wonderful and the stamen stands out much more. The whites could be amplified a little to increase the overall contrast. Well done. Mar 14th
27 Mar 23 Reply I really liked your comments which made me look at the photo again and re-edit this time in Silver Efex. What do you think? Mar 7th

44 Mar 23 Reply Yes your description said LR, my bad. The tones reminded me of NIK HDRs processing. Beautiful spot! Mar 24th
44 Mar 23 Comment Very simple and effective photograph, well done! The blend and processing look great and all the different colors and styles are wonderful. Mar 23rd
44 Mar 23 Comment Very cool tree and the image certainly has a lot of color and pop! I think with the advancement in HDR processing, this definitely be considered grunge and old school. You did a lot of really good work to clean this up and make it presentable. Perhaps take it 1 more step and turn it into a painting or something which might take advantage of your strong colors. Mar 23rd
44 Mar 23 Comment You do find some pretty nice churches up there in Michigan. Another excellent image with nice composition and excellent processing. Perhaps a little more contrast in all the areas except for the lights might give it a little more pop. Lisa's crop is interesting, something to think about. Mar 23rd
44 Mar 23 Comment I think we are all very envious of your view! Very nice scene with the reflection in the pond. I think both Rick & Lisa's suggestions are spot on with the blown highlights and the halo. Are you using NIK software for the blend? Mar 23rd
44 Mar 23 Comment I think the new version is a big improvement, the previous seems to be a bit overcooked with color and contrast. The fog portion is really cool, but kind of gets lost. I would also be inclined to possibly crop off some of the bottom to see how it affects the balance. The orange is really glowing off the mountains, did you enhance that or was that already there? Mar 23rd
44 Mar 23 Comment Very cool pump and the process looks great. The windows look a bit gray, but that is nit picky and you mentioned, they were particularly tough to handle. Mar 23rd
44 Mar 23 Reply great suggestions, thank you. Mar 7th
