Day 9 - Street at Sunset - Edited

Good save Rob, and yes, the power lines that seem to be everywhere I want to point my lens are a real pain to edit out, esp when they cross thru things besides clouds. I think that in the finished shot, the clouds look great, so PP wins lots of points for a good job with that. You started with a tough one to repair, and ended with a pretty good save.

I like the crop, and the reflections are great. Somehow the left bird lost the black hooked part of it's beak into the tree behind with the processing. That's not a big point, but just something that seeems missing, as I am familiar with how the birds look. Usually in pics, their very bright eyes show up strongly too. I am wondering if these are the real thing? There are 5 species, and 3 major types in addition to the more common plastic yard variety.

Cat Day 7

This image will be a good one to try processing skills with. the eyes need some work, and the hi-lights on the jacket sleeve.
I generally try to take animal shots from their eye level, and it helps to make the animal look more personable.
I am waiting to see what you do with this one. Good looking cat. I had one named "Bear cat" that looked almost exactly the same.

You made a gem from a rough stone with this one. I need to learn about layering in order to present some of my images in better fashion. I like images with geometric shapes, and this one is full.

Minimal Edit PAD 3 "Alligator and Turtles"

Cool shot! This is a scene worth waiting for. They do this sort of thing when the water is cool and the sun is shining and warming a place for them to sunbathe. I have seen turtles do this in groups, and gators, but not exactly like this, all in a group.

That was quite a major processing operation. The selective desat helped get the focus where you wanted it.
You usually seem to post landscapes, which I guess is your fav shooting style. It takes a lot of practice to get comfortable and good at shooting moving subjects. I still can't rememeber to check all of my camera settings before shooting action shots like this. I tend to get excited about capturing the scene before it is gone, and just compose and click away.

Day 8 - Prow

Love the plain sky that does not detract from the details of the boat, and the straight on POV.
You deserve to be "prowd" of this image.

I can see why this was a feel good moment. Wow!
I like the border too.

Self Portrait Edited

Comment:
The crop plus changing the background color, and then the arms where they are makes the image look almost 3D. The slight shadow along the cheeks also adds to the effect. Wider aperture for shallower DOF would make the effect even stronger.
The edit makes a very powerful looking image. You make a good model too. Pretty face, esp your eyes.

You have given me an idea. I wonder what this would look like if you shot a longer exposure, and zoomed during the exposure. Cool looking image as it is. No way to look away from the center.
