I have been trying to get a handle on this sRGB color space. If this picture is viewed using IE10 it does not show the color correctly, If view in Firefox the colors are correct but a little too saturated. In Opera 12.16 not the correct color and in Chrome 3.0 ? still the reds are muted but as bad as the other web browsers.

This must be…[Read more]

The tops of the ridges should be a deep reddish brown color, when outputted as a tiff the color is there. If I open the file in Firefox or Chrome the colors are there but not in IE10 or Opera.
I shoot everything in RAW and open in Lightroom 5.2. Soft-proof in sRGB with a 50% gray…[Read more]

Thanks, I think I have done all I can (want) to do with this one. On to another. Thanks again for all your help, I learned a lot and more importantly to be more aware of the horizon.

I have been away from my computer for the last week and boy have things changed. I noticed that there is a size limitation of MAX 500 Pixels Width!. This is not bad for a shot in portrait node but limiting for a shot in landscape mode. a MAX 500 Pixels for the short side would work better.

The ability to upload a larger version of the picture…[Read more]

@michael-lloyd thank you so much for the detail comments and instruction. I have been away from my computer for a week so was unable to reply. I have tried to incorporate as much of your directions as I could and still maintain the look I wanted. How did I do?

@jonathantimar thank you for your comments, sometimes I cannot see the forest for the trees. Now that you have pointed it out the horizon is definitely crooked. I will look at it again and do a little patching in Lightroom. Also I will try to get a bigger picture to post.

Thanks again.

At first glance, I totally missed the dog. The large tea pot left front keeps dragging the eye away from the actual subject. Overall a little dark for my taste.

Thank you all for your comments. I have re-cropped and adjusted using the Topaz Labs clarify filter.

For me the perspective is off and I feel that I am falling into the picture, also the section of white sky and top of the building is a little distracting. If this was cropped, I would use the un-cropped version try correcting the vertical perspective, then cropping. This possibly take out some of the white in the upper center and bring your eyes…[Read more]

I agree with most of the comments. I find that the area of the right eye is too dark and distracting. In photographing animals and people that focusing on the eye gives the best results. If the eyes cannot be see or are not sharp detracts from the overall impression. If you have Lightroom and especially Lightroom 5 there is a wonderful vignette…[Read more]

The white in her dress is blown out and very distracting. See if you can recapture some detail there and darken it. The hair around her head blends with the background d gets lost, more detail here would be nice.

She tries to update it regularly but just doesn’t seem to get there, last update was in February. She says she is working on it. Maybe and update soon.

Yes the face is a little out of focus, but this possibly is not a bad thing. Years ago before digital we use to shoot some portraits through panty hose to soften the image and give it a dreamy feel. With the advent of digital, we seam to only want tack sharp shots. I think at times, like this, a little softness is good.

I agree that it appears to be a little tilted to the right. It looks a little washout and I would add more contrast to bring out a slight more detail.
