beautiful composition here. The trees act as a much needed foil to that magnificant sky.

Oscar can stick around for a looong time. He's gorgeous. I do wish we could have seen all his crest, but that, in this instance, is really a minor detail. 9

Orange & Blue

Greetings from the Critique Club

What a startlingly nice image of the orange section. When I saw this in competition, I scored it high, as did many of our voters.

However, now that I'm in critique mode, I've got to be a bit more objective about your image. You do have some commentors who noted the photoshop effects around the edges of your orange could use some work. This unevenness shows up loud and clear on my monitor as well. While I note you didn't prefer to mark these particular comments as helpful, they really are meant to assist you. As is this one. There is a light blue halo all around the orange. There are peculiar two-color blue changes at the right side above the mirrored segment. The blue at the bottom shows a marked color change where either erasures or some other changes in color took place. Just a little more practice with PS is likely all it'll take to make your images constant winners.

Overall, a fine image, well placed in the frame and excellent focus.

I see I've had the pleasure of critiquing another of your images recently and for sure, I'll look forward to seeing more of your work on DPC!

Greetings from the Critique Club

It's always a delight to draw a beautifully done image from the Critique Club queue. I get the chance to examine a lovely photograph.

But I can hardly improve on the comments you have already received so I won't try. Except to add that your sky is perfectly fine. There is no real need to polarize the daylights out of every sky in creation. However, I would probably have used the clone tool on that aircraft condensation trail in the upper left corner.

Your portfolio tells me you are a good photographer. If you have the time, we sure could use your expertise in the Critique Club.

In any event, I shall look forward to seeing more of your work in DPC.
