hi,

experimented with bw conversion, not too happy with it

its somehow flat, composition too

need advise how to pick right image for great result

thanks in advance

DOF just make this image for you

it makes so much difference

B&W is perfect choice also

simple street shot taken to a whole better level

love it

regards

the are many ways as  you already know

there is nothing better than pair of eyes and human brain

content aware is a great tool, works but not always 100%

as I wrote above try some combinations of those tools, experiment a little

with practice you'll get  very good with it

cheers

thats excellent idea,

I have to contact   my city council and make them  consider this kind of posters

much better  then corporate nonsense!

;)

well done!

good street document

regards

your captured great colors there

composition is good, but twisted somehow

I think you need co correct horizontal lines, looks like your have top and bottom right already

look at  the arrow sign then follow to right to the end of image

try 'free transform' tool  and  pull it bit down

imagine geometric grid guiding you

I hope it'll help you

regards

Ruud already summarised  it all

good street image, well defined perspective !

for hand held shot  its still sharp

I guess you have image stabiliser built-in,

you could sharpen it  a bit if you wanted to, it would add  bit of zest to it

just recently I learnt a good method how to sharpen images for web and print

I'm happy to share information

regards

your removed cloud Ok,

what I see o my monitor  is a small but visible discolouration   where cloud was

I don't know how you removed cloud, there is a several methods and combinations of them to archive good result

try heal brush with patch tool and maybe some extra cloning, but sample area close and horizontal to where you want to fix gradient sky

I find this  difficult too 

its tedious work sometimes especially when  your work with clouds 

but ones its done well nobody will tell the difference

I hope it helps you

regards

love  your street  image

it's good composition, your found right angle to accommodate all your elements

great textures there and colors as well

the small weed adds a final touch to  lifeless matter

well done

regards

very  impressive and original work Andy

this is masterpiece 

top marks!

regards

what a great work it is

everything seem to work here color composition fantastic blurry background are perfect

it simply  stand out

congratulation

GungaJim is right

your have well defined wavy clouds on your skyline , that dark round cloud with the tail is bit of destruction

leave a blue or intensify a bit,  experiment

then repost it here

it may turn out  better then you think

I hope it helps

regards

another good  document with  clear message

'Zionism is  Racism'

regards

good document with clear message

I like all of your latest uploads Katarzyna 

especially for  a gentle  pastel like color palette

and of cause sensual compositional elements in "meadow series

great images

congratulation

 regards

its a good image, lot of mystery there

if I could only see bit more detail of your face, then it would be a bonus

regards

I'm really surprised that no one  commented on this great image

the  greenish  tint is very good

It's great abstract , the only suggestion I may have is this

if you made those dark 'windows'   gradient like and also shades above them kind of smooth  it would only add quality to it

I only hope you know what I mean

otherwise excellent work !

what a great image Radoslaw

simple,  elegant with  frozen motion effect, whitch  adds so much to the mood here

very good choice of BW with excellent silver tonality

that's only one of so may great images you have in your collection I enjoyed

great experience

my regards

thank you everyone for your  generous opinions, comments and marks

Willow Spring Station SA is extraordinary location with  lots of hills and those blue-violet flowers are everywhere but,

original image  'full frame' is  kind of boring and too messy , with not much happening on ether side

that's the reason I opted for tighter square crop

thanks for your  confirmation Stephen on  sharpening  method working  well

 :)

 regards

I find this photo really funny

very well seen

regards

hi Allen

its a good document of  a man who  doesn't  care

its got nice  look of a film camera to it

good image !

regards

you have very nice depth here,  nice reflections there also

so Tony how you get such a good luminosity range out of one RAW file?

...

and those  V cloud formation!

I crack my head open how you guys get those ?

would you advise me in that, and did you try less  of  a brightness  ?

regards

hi,

not sure if this crop works with my composition, also I applied

sharpening method recommended by Chip Phillips

on my large monitor looks not enough, on the other that is MBPro is better

how this looks ?

thanks in advance

what an excellent b&w that is

silver tones are perfect, composition great

not to mention your model Maurizio

regards

simplicity is often most effective tool

excellent image  Hasan !
