The square crop did help, thanks! I have also ordered some extension tubes to help with macro pictures. Hope this allows a deeper DOF, with more for the droplets and leaves in focus:-)

Thanks for the inputs, I appreciate them.Check It Out

Here is an edited version to address the crop on top and right side per input from @gordonjames and @markspinner. It looks better to my eye, appreciate inputs on whether this is a better crop.

The out of focus areas are not fixable with my skill level of photo editing. Next time a deeper depth of field will be used and get more in…[Read more]

Thanks for the feedback @gordonjames and @markspinner.
The comments help me appreciate why I need to practice, refine, practice, refine, …:-)
The upper crop at the needs work and my eyes spend to much time on the drip. The shot is wide enough for a re-crop and will try that tonight. The out of focus area resulted from a narrow dept of field…[Read more]

I really like the softness, color and gentle curves of the stream. Just wonder if a portrait view would lead the eye even more through the stream.Check It Out

Nice updates to the images, both are cleaner and more powerful to my eye:-)Check It Out

Just my thoughts on the background. The green is wonderful while the dark spots were a bit strong and enough contrast to distract my eye. Perhaps just my personal taste, shades of green versus green/black is more relaxing and less distracting to my eye.

Appreciate your photo and the discussion!Check It Out

Really like the water on the leaves. Both images have something on the right side that distracted my eye from the water droplets. The water droplets are quite spectacular. The green/black background pulled my eye away from the water.

Thanks for sharing, nice work!Check It Out

Wow, like the like the blue, green and golden colors. The crop on the right side drew my eye when first looking at the image. After looking at it more closely, the little hay roll took my ey away for the nice leading lines at the center, to the tree and sky. Other than that, it is a really nice shot to my eye.Check It Out

Like to old car and curious boy in the picture. The contrast in the image to my eye is a challenge. The rust/paint edge does not jump out and reinforce old car, to paint seems blurred and soft whereas a old car to my recollection will be damage discolored paint.

The tree branch in the upper left is an nice lead into the car and boy. The…[Read more]

This may sound odd, but i tried holding some paper around the edges to experiment with crops. Cropping left and right sides to the edge of the dome while cropping the top down to the peak of the dome seems to be a cleaner image to my eye. That crop lets my imagination fill in that there is a sun hidden behind the peaks.

All the best.

Like the contrast and isolation of the blossoms, very dominate and pulled my eyes back and forth between the two blossoms. Sometimes odds work e.g. 1 or 3 blossoms.Check It Out

The feedback is very helpful. Good point on landscape orientation and wider perspective. I have tweaked the original based on the feedback and it is a better photo:-) Check It Out

Appreciate the inputs!
Those are items I struggled with, wider angle, car coming thru tunnel and exposure. Waited about 30 minutes for a car coming out of the tunnel but no luck. The exposure was set for the tunnel to keep it black which overexposed the road a bit but agree it may have overexposed the road. This is a crop of a wider angle…[Read more]
