I like your camera angle. It has a totally different feel to it. The linear steps and columns contrasted by the round dome

Thanks for your idea to use frequency separation to clean up the hood blemishes. I have FS as part of my Tony Kuyper TK8 panel but I will also explore the Earth Oliver FS tool and compare the utility of each one.

A unique benefit of our group is the sharing of tools and techniques that will increase our digital darkroom skills.

I believe it was driven by Bob Darin but no clue as to distance.

I like what you did using Film Noir. I will check it out

I am glad you are showing you good work

I use good quality black metal frames and single white mats. I order my frames from FrameDestination in Tx online. I use Nielson no 15; I found an alternate smaller frame there that is more affordable. I buy precut 11x14 and 16x20 white mats from Amazon in qty but there are other sources.

Contact me if you want specifics drzuk@sbcglobal.net

This is the probably the upper limit re amount of dodging. As the artist it is up to you decide how you want to assimilate any or vall of the comments from our group.

My two cents on this snowy day in the Midwest. I would dodge the Capital building so it stands out more. I also put a radial filter on each reflected columns to make then stand out a bit more as well (to much free time today)

I did visit Grp 5 and I like your camera position on it

Zebras are a tough subject to photograph with their black and white coloration.

I used the LR brush to dodge their bodies. I also burned the background to create more contrast

I am loving your work with the rock and feather sets. The texture and light on the rock are good. I am wondering if the light on the feather should come up a bit since it it is a shadow region, just thinking out loud.

Your work with stills has grown each month. Stay with it you are onto some nice imagery.

Great action shot. It made your trip to Namibia.

My suggestion is to dodge/lighten your subjects a little so they stand out. LR has a select subject filter that will mask the off and then increase exposure.

I like what you chose to photograph when you were trekking through the woods. I would have passed it by.

The only thing needed is to burn the moss somewhat - I like Palli's suggestion.

A portrait composition was the way to go in your July excursion to look for storm clouds. This is a nice shot

There are a number of good thoughts presented to you for refinement. My thought is that the the "white" areas of school facing side can be dodged using the LR or ACR brush to create a little more interest.

I share your situation re lack of new IR material due to the COVID blahs. Fortunately we have archived some good shots to present to this group

Fabulous building design for your Feb submittal. My 2 cents is to remove the turn arrows and stop. I like the clusters of bushes in the lower left which adds balance to the set across the road.

Your rendering resonated with our talented group, so may was to go after you upgraded the background with soft clouds, it really transforms your image. The detail in the flower is also well done.

Please share a few more of flower images, they are eye candy

It took me awhile to find the offensive dust spots, need a visit for an eye exam

I had to blow up my image to find the spots but I fixed em
