Thanks for your great feedback and kind words. Seeing as this was a first intimate forest scene for me, I knew there would be some point to consider and rework, but I love the learning process, so happy for the feedback.
Oh, and also THANK YOU for the idea of starting my new window installation venture. Website coming soon!
@Michael_Lowe Thanks , Michael. I was torn between leaving the white boarder on or off, but I agree that it seemed to work better with it on.
@Ed_McGuirk Thanks, Ed. I noticed the lack of separation and tried to go heavy on the vignette, hoping it would drawn out the central subject. Will try toning it down and revise. You’ve also piqued my interest to see this in B/W as well. Because I was after fall colour, I didn’t think to try is that way.
@Igor_Doncov Appreciate your kind words and for giving me the window business idea. Royalty check is already in the mail!
@Ian_Wolfenden Thank you, Ian. Appreciate your feedback.
@Lon_Overacker Thanks, Lon. Our house backs on to a creek and conservation land. The tight crop might be a tad deceiving, but it is a nice view. I think I may have been a little heavy handed with the burn tool in hopes it would add a bit more depth to a very flat image. I’ll try toning down the darkness up there to see if it feels more natural.
@Youssef_Ismail Thank you, Youssef. That’s actually a great idea! Sadly all the fall colour has gone for the season, but it might be interesting to visit that suggestion during the winter.
@Ben_van_der_Sande Much appreciated, Ben!
@Ralph_Yakaboski Thank you, Ralph!
@Lefteris_Kachramanis Thank you, Lefteris. Be interesting to see if works better pulled back a touch.
@Eva_McDermott Thank you, Eva!
@Larry_Greenbaum Thanks, Larry. I’m going to have to run a 50% off promo for NPN members.
