Very pleasing to the eye. Try a letterbox format to get rid of toooo much forground.

Here is an alternative thought Lenny. If you can go back, position yourself two paces to the left. The handrail on the left will disappear into the bottom left corner of the frame, along with the light area in the far background practically disappearing. The curve above will still enclose the eye down towards your steps.

Overall, the image you have already produced stacks up well for me. Thanks

A well balanced (even romantic)   shot Rob. I would hang it on the wall to admire as I pass.

Would prefer it in colour Bruce, as it is highly detailed but flat. Colour would make it more three dimensional.

Move three steps to the right and one foot lower. Need to see more of her face. Agree about the framing.

Affinity Photo – new kid on the block, but with a fairly steep learning curve. However, a user forum is a big help in times of “help needed”

Serif of Nottingham, GB.

Also a free one called Lightzone which is open source.

Good topic, good read. Thanks.

The lighting is warm and good. I would improve its impact by making it a letterbox, cutting out the cliffs. If reduced by two thirds height, the picture comes alive for me….

Hope this helps?

Two metres to the left would eliminate the rider. I am against post processing, get the shot right first click.

Cropping the existing image to a letterbox format would help, although several attempts with light changes – time of day – may help? Finally, more sky, less water. Hope this helps.

Depth of field improvement could isolate the flower better. I use controlled flash to stop movement.

Image is a “rotator” to my eyes. I have wandered round the print, but nought to anchor my interest. Agree with the others, but the time of day is wrong, and with blanket cloud…. A shaft of moonlight on to a mono image would give more impact. Thanks for shewing it.

[mike PENRITH]

Like the composition, but would have used flash with a linen handkerchief over its light, so the face gives a little more presence.

[mike PENRITH]

Like the sweeping stone wall which leads me to the trees, but over-contrast leaves them as vague black blobs. An old man sat on the grass chewing a twig would create more interest I feel.
