Thanks for the comments! I knew the boat on the left would be a distraction but my editing skill are not good enough that I can git rid of the boat and its reflection. I did another version with a vignette which made it a little less noticeable but it is still there. I’ll give it another try. The colored ropes did not bother me but see how they would distract somewhat. Have no idea why so many, perhaps it was a convenient place to throw any extras laying around. Have not seen any photo of the boat fully rigged out so don’t know how they would be used. I see some spots on the right that I missed but that’s about all. I do like the perspective so will reshoot on my next trip. Sorry about the allergies Gordon. Thanks again folks!
Thanks for the comment! You’re correct about the vibrant colors on the coast. Every place we stopped was super.
Thanks! Missed the horizon. Dark shadows weren’t as intense on my computer, may need calibration.
John stole my thunder. This is a much better photo than the other valley shots from couple days ago. The water flow here is great, gives a good sense of the power generated when the gates are opened. Good job!
Looks like he came for St. Patrick’s day and stayed over.
I think it’s a great shot but agree with Tersha about the News image. Would crop it completely out leaving the Metro, man and lamppost. This is very picky but might also fix the scratches on the back wall that lead into the man’s face.
Excellent! Easy to see why it was picked. Congrats!
Great choice Kent! @nancyka it’s amazing how a simple photograph can convey so much. Give us another soon.
This is one of those wish I’d taken that shots. The only thing I notice is that there seems to be some artifacts at the top of the hill side on the left. Either that or my eyes/computer is off and it’s just the lighting. I do agree with punching up the tree a bit.
Excellent job. Agree with trying to sharpen the lip although not sure it will help much. I might also burn the large leaf just to the left of his head, seems to draw my attention away from the face. Super detail!
Thank you for the comment Kent! It is kinda different from most photos of the Blackbird.
Done! Removed artifacts and stand. Leveled and fixed spotlights. Lights looked a little more realistic with pinpoint of light in the middle. Did not remove the wheels under the wings. Tried but didn’t look right. Thanks for the comments. Like the final!
I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but wanted something different. Will fix the light and never even noticed it wasn’t level. Thanks for the comments.
Excellent! Love the texture effect. I’ve just started using them but have nowhere near the your success. Pick a prominent place on your wall for this one.
Good choice! For 9 years my Golden and I were a therapy team at INOVA Fairfax Hospital in Fairfax VA. One of our local programs had a therapy French Bulldog with a similar challenge but with a store bought chair. He would run up and down the halls spinning his wheels and was eager to meet with patients. Super photo with great subject!
That’s more or less the crop I had in mind. I might also clean up a few more of the grasses. Not wild about the ripples. Thanks for the edits!
I like the photo! Great color. I easily imagine the crew walking down the dock getting ready for a day on the water. I think everyone handle the print issues well. I would do a little cropping, say from the bottom taking out about half or more of the dock and even from the top just a bit. IMO that gets rid of most of the negative space and brings the subject more into the frame. Perhaps a bit of lightening on the deck to see the tools of the trade.
Thanks guys. I know it needs a little more sky. I’m going to try to add some in PS. Never done that but will try. Also thought about cropping down to the horizon for a different look. Have at it Robert, be interesting to see!
