_MAK2228by MAKComment: No question that the square crop suits this one and frames the circular fan perfectly. Love the delicate, lacy look of the Oriental design. |

Well, it would definitely take it in a different stylistic direction than I intended with this edit. :-) Here, I'm going here for a warm, sun-faded matte/distressed-film treatment, so I've actually used some processing decisions to reduce rather than enhance contrast--and to introduce grainy imperfections. But admittedly, it's a stylistic voice that doesn't resonate with all viewers. And I'm far from the best I've seen at recognizing when and how to apply it effectively. But since it seems to be popular in stock photography right now, especially among DTC brands in the fashion and progressive lifestyle space, I'm experimenting with ways to incorporate it into my portfolio of work.
Appreciate your kind words! |
Got it. I kind of wondered whether the faded look was intentional. |

Autumn Blossom with Beeby kanajComment: Nice focus and I like having the bee centered so the square crop works well. What does a contrast boost do for it? Message edited by author 2025-12-10 13:16:50. |

shineby kichuComment: Much interest in each of the thirds as well as in the whole. Love the colors, esp the splashes of red and the way the many shades of grayed blue tie it all together. |
