    Handsome portrait of this young man...IMO the crop is a little tight on the top of his head. I also notice some halo effect around him (gaussian blur??). I added some contrast in curves and burned in the background a bit as a possibility for you to consider. Best wishes!

  1. IMO excellent composition...and the dramatic sky is terrific. The way it appears on my monitor, I would suggest warming it slightly and boosting up sharpness. Especially the bush appears soft, but realize it could have been windy. Nice work.
  2. Rabinder, Thank you for commenting on my image. I really enjoyed looking through your portfolio...interesting especially are these "handheld" shots; they have a nice human connection to them...this one is my favorite, did you illuminate the subject with a flashlight? Best wishes.

    I really like the total composition and motion from the pigeon. The sharpness and clarity are extraordinary...and depending upon individual taste perhaps overly so. IMO this would be a good image to experiment with adding grain...I would also be temped to try darkening the background somewhat so it competes less with the subject. Nice work!

    I agree with Jeff's comments whole heartily, great portrait! The lighting on their faces is uneven, but I don't see why it couldn't be corrected with a little dodging in PS...IMO it would be well worth the effort.
  3. Hi Len, Thanks for stopping by my portfolio! My vote still goes with the 50mm perspective in this series! In this image, I think you had the right idea with the large rock; if only it were a bit more catchy...perhaps you could come back to this location with a few handfuls of brightly colored Fall leaves to sprinkle around ;-)
  4. Len, As an editorial type shot of the bridge's architecture...I think it's fine. However, I also looked at your upload following this one of the same bridge in an off center composition...and think it is artistically superior to this one. In this image there is good detail throughout, but in comparison to the other the colors seem less vibrant and composition a bit top heavy with the column too centered/domineering (for my taste). Perhaps backing off a bit to have included more of the still pool would have helped. Best wishes.

    Fantastic image! I really like how the colors of the cow repeat in the church. Nice placement of the subject...successful as is, my only suggestion for possible improvent would be in cropping to just leave a little more space around the cow.

    Really, one of the better ladybug images I've seen! The relaxed pastel colors of the blossoms do not compete with the insect as the typical bright greens do, so I am easily able to focus my attention on the subject. The only thing I would recommend trying if you are able to use one with your camera is a polarizer to knock off a bit of the reflection...but as is, it gives it's wings a nice pearlescent quality. Very good effort!

    I think the background compliments well, I really like the streaming light...gives it a towering effect. The only change I would consider is toning down the red blossom at top center; it draws my eye away a little more quickly than I'd like. Awesome image!

    Perhaps a little red, a quick fix would be to go into "Curves"...select the red channel from the drop box...then click your cursor in the very middle of the diagonal graph line and pull/drag down slightly. That will tone down that specific color cast without overly impacting the saturation of other colors. Attached is what I got following this method along with slightly raising the mid tone input in "levels" to brighten the image.
