        That Falaxy & Bucweet say he’s got a point sways me. But I’d be surprised at consistently good images. Oh, they’re gone. Which is pretty pointless?

          I’m totally open minded to it being more though?

              Sorry Erik, but this is just a anapshot of a moderately quirky situation? I don’t get it tbh

                I can click through to the pic but it’d obviously be nicer if it were here.

                  With Admin that it’s interesting. Compositional fail not to get the lower drape? But it’s a bit flat?

                    Having looked at the shot,Erik makes good points. For me, anyone who’s bored of flower photos is bored of life, they’re nature’s supermodels?. BUT they do require exquisite precision?!

                      I’m no expert but uploading to Imgur & then copying the HTML to LS seems to to be a good way to go

                        I was okay with the original compo. Just the processing was really lumpy?

                              I kind of do get it. Soz if I was excessively blunt in my last post. I like a drink as I’m processing too. Is your exif accurate?
                              The background trees getting a bit purple is definitely a girly unicorn wish though đŸ˜‰

                                Sorry, being shitty sharkish, You could’ve started with a better pic?
                                TBH I’m not interested in this shot & nothing you’ve done has increased the interest.
                                What am I supposed to be looking at?

                                  I really dislike the processing. Sorry to say this but it’s really a bit of a sledge hammer on a subject that could be more gently treated?

                                    Being sharkish. The composition is cramped & lacking a decent point of interest. The processing is okay but the dark, shadowy band across the top is really distracting. It’s long exposure water, tick, but what am I supposed to be looking at?
                                    Not Being Sharkish. I can see what drew you to it. The contrast between the blue/white water & the red/yellow plants is really nice

                                      Thanks Chris, you are indeed a sophisticat.
                                      Cheers for the thoughts Bucweeet, I’d like to think the workflow I had in mind was flexible but identifiable. Not what I thought I’d be doing in that it’s harking back to old school methods. I’d much rather be ‘cutting edge’! But I am just a middle-aged punk…
                                      I see the bright spot. that may be from where I nuked his labrador đŸ˜‰

                                          Or you could be bold & show that the lesser things can be overcome?

                                            The obvious thing for me, as someone who’s posted a similar shot recently, is that you’ve got your subject in the trees when she should be framed in the bright spot? That just makes for visual complications that take away?
