That’s a step in the right direction! I learned to use PSE by playing and experimenting. Try going too far until it looks over-processed. You won’t know how much is too much until you do too much. For this image, I’d increase contrast quite a bit, and then maybe brightness just a bit to balance. Don’t give up, practice and play!

Gerry Hiebert replied to the topic White sky scrub jay in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 10y, 5mo ago
I think it needs more contrast so it pops out of the white, right now you don’t actually have any pure blacks and so it looks washed out. Also, the jay is really crowding the branch in front and it’s uncomfortable. If you’d moved just a bit to the R before capturing it would have created more space between branch and jay and further emphasized…[Read more]

Gerry Hiebert replied to the topic Costa Rica Dusk + Flash Fill on Trees in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 10y, 5mo ago
Immediate foreground lacks interest but is illuminated enough to draw the eye, the branches on the R got too much light imo. Less foreground and no flash would have created some nice silhouettes framing the sunset. This is a case where less would be more. And I agree with @pmarione, a softer process would enhance the mood.

I really like the intent of the Shark Tank!! I’ve enjoyed and learned from the critiques and suggestions. However, since the thumbnails no longer appear, I have much less motivation to participate. It’s a nuisance to have to open each post to see if there’s anything I want to contribute. Is there any way to restore the original format which was…[Read more]

All textures are from my own photos, processed selectively through PSE Blend Modes.

Gerry Hiebert replied to the topic Emptiness in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 10y, 5mo ago
The silhouette without detail is fine, silhouettes are intended to be more graphic than documentary. However, I don’t find this image holds my attention. I immediately identified the subject, looked for something to keep me interested (colour?), got bored and wanted to find other images to look at.

Gerry Hiebert replied to the topic Too much black. in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 10y, 5mo ago
The only thing that doesn’t work for me is that rather large, white thing dead centre. Too bright, too central. The rest of the composition and treatment work.

Thanks everyone for your feedback!!
Jonathan, nope, no tripod. But as you can see from the original below, it wasn’t as dark as it seemed.
Michael-Lloyd, all processing done with Silkypix RAW converter and PSE 8.
CKinil, no shots with the marquee. My subject was the sign with the perfectly burned out lights. More marquee would have made…[Read more]

Have processed this image several times, trying to emphasize the texture and the lights. How did I do?

Forgot to mention, I cropped a bit of boring, grey carpet off the bottom as well.

Here’s an amended (improved?) version based on your helpful feedback. Thanx all!!
Michael, it appears I forgot to sharpen in the original! Not only shot on a tripod, but with a remote release!! Is this better? And yes, 1/25.
Caimi, blur is always a matter of taste. Maybe a touch faster, but I didn’t want her too sharp and I did several test…[Read more]

Gerry Hiebert replied to the topic Monestary Door in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 10y, 7mo ago
I like the subject and treatment, other than the bright spot in the foreground. Compositionally, it feels too tight. You have cropped elements L and R. To the L, the arched door frame is cut out in the middle. To the R, there are flowers cropped and wall elements that would be better with more or less. I think either a larger or smaller crop would…[Read more]
