Good colorful image. Better is both people were looking up. Good to crop off the third person.   Posted: 05/07/2023 15:40:06

Cropping this image makes a difference on where the viewers eyes go. I'm wondering if you can lighten the people's faces a bit. Maybe with a brightness adjustment in photoshop with a layer mask.   Posted: 05/16/2023 10:58:00

This image is so colorful and has interesting details to look at such as the mask on the camel. I love the regal posture and expression of the front rider. I did not like the water bottle in the hand of the back rider. It took away from the timelessness of the image. As a challenging exercise, I worked on removing the bottle. It's not perfect, but I learned a lot doing it!   Posted: 05/19/2023 14:45:35

The colors and details on this image are outstanding. I am wondering since so many have commented on the second rider, if you might consider eliminating him altogether. No sure how important the second rider is to the story you are telling but this might give you an idea of how it would look without him.   Posted: 05/19/2023 17:39:30

Great idea, Terry. I could have saved an hour spent on trying to remove the bottle if I had thought of your idea!   Posted: 05/20/2023 12:54:02

Very sharp and colorful image. I prefer Terry's crop with little corrections.   Posted: 05/23/2023 07:26:02

Well taken, well cropped. So colorful and interesting. It made me say WOW. I prefer it just the way you presented it. The water bottle is fine. I didn't even see it until it was mentioned here, and it is the desert - an appropriate place for a water bottle. Leave the back rider there, water bottle and all.   Posted: 05/28/2023 08:31:40
