Nicely done. Posted: 04/13/2025 18:59:54
If there were a small boat rowing in the river, wouldn't it be even more exciting! Posted: 04/13/2025 22:21:18
Small suggestion from my personal point of view:
- How about improve shadow details a bit to get rid of dark areas slightly.
- I too like Zhicai Ren idea...that would make more exiting !
- Since this is almost symmetric composition, how about crop from right side or keep some room from left side if possible. Posted: 04/23/2025 23:22:03
How is your monitor calibrated? Posted: 04/24/2025 06:25:46
I'm using DELL 32 inch monitor, but not calibrated. Then may be issue is in my end.
For me, overall exposure is ok and I was referring to the below highlighted area. But if it is fine in your calibrated monitor, please ignore my comment. Posted: 04/24/2025 07:17:07
No problem. It does look okay on my calibrated monitor. That was an area that needed some special attention during post processing. Posted: 04/26/2025 08:22:56
