Not necessarily. I try to make the space around my subject(s) even when cropping

This suggestion was based on looking at your model's face and the amount of space above it seemed a little tight.

I would like more info on your Photography Seminary - a new topic for me. I agree with you on taking photos on demand is not easy. Workshops, typically the on-line type, make that a main stay. I usually go out see something that captures my eye and shoot it.

I like the social contrast between each side of the water. Your eye and your title are in harmony

Well done

PS I like the format

62 Apr 25 Comment Chris,

Wonderful viewpoint of this sculpture and your processing does it justice. My only though is to darken the sky just a touch...

62 Apr 25 Comment Pete,

I offer you an alternate path to your end state.

I started with your original, Used High 2 in Silver Efex, and the Detail Extractor in Color Efex to pull the details out of the dust cloud. The cars are a touch darker which offers contrast with the dust and the patch with the two spectators now has better context

62 Apr 25 Comment Michael,

I like your concept but with the Sundial sharp and the your subject soft and darkly clothed, the eye goes first to the structure.

What if you changed the toning just a bit?

I put a plump radial gradient large enough to cover the subject and a portion of the sundial, set the feather to 100%, inverted it and reduced the exposure so now the eye goes to to your subject...

Regards

Emil

62 Apr 25 Comment Mandy,

Awesome

My words will not do justice to your image. I love the overlay of the patterns it is so striking, and the model.

One minor suggestion I would add a bit more frame above the model so that the distance between the top of your frame to the top of your model is the same as the distance from her elbow to the bottom of the frame.

Well done

I think the nugget in your in your shot is the tall tree left side of frame. Wonderful IR texture. To that end I cropped your original square and moved it to the left. I wanted the lilies in the foreground as you shot them but reduced their exposure using a linear gradient. I put a radial gradient over the trees and increased the highlights, clarity etc.

Stunning composition. Leave it alone

Emil


FYI I use Topaz Photo AI for noise reduction as soon as I start to induce noise as I use various NIK presets which may be late in my workflow. I cleans it up

66 Apr 25 Comment Gary,

Wonderful wide angle composition. The dam and its "blocky "texture draws your eye into your composition. Well seen and well processed.

There is another picture within your picture....

66 Apr 25 Comment Melanie,

Wonderful scene. Nice texture and contrast between the Banyan and the foreground foliage. My thought is to reduce the image exposure by about 1/2 a stop or so. The tree is a bit hot and it would help bring the detail in the foliage around it.

well seen

66 Apr 25 Comment Henry,

Love your concept here. Natural contrast and texture offset between the plants and the pots.

Food for thought; try to a copy of this image with the building a shade darker. It will be there for the viewer but the eye will tend to stay on the foreground more

Regards
