About the Image(s)
I went back to my home town last month. Having a alumni re-union when I saw this unique mini rice field. I planted the same at home (Original). I was astonished to see. This mini rice field produce beautiful morning dew with side light (Original 1). I remember that I have hummingbird images (Original 2). I know humming birds don’t like dew. That’s what I called it ‘Altered Reality’. These are all done in LR and PS. As usual. Your comments would be much appreciated.

Gorgeous creation! I know very little about hummingbirds since we are not fortunate to get them in UK, so you have taught me something as well! My only though is that the LHS is too bright and could be toned down to a similar colour to the rest of the background, since it keeps drawing my eye away from the main image?

Hi Mike. Thanks for your kind words and suggestions. Posted: 07/26/2024 03:00:33
I always look forward to see your next creative endeavour - always surprises me. They are always very impactful for me and I appreciate you sharing them with us. This one is no exception - technically well done. Like the colours and the composition. Only one suggestion - the left light background is a bit distracting for me, and could be darkened a bit.

Indeed, I always want to present some thing different every month. Your words give me a positive energy! Thanks Gunter. Posted: 07/26/2024 03:03:23
You have used a lovely color palette. The hummingbirds are well placed. I agree that the left side is too bright. Beautiful work as always. Posted: 07/15/2024 22:46:14
Hi Candy. Your suggestions together with other group members. Consistently confirm the left side of the scene is too bright. I should have tune down the brightness. Posted: 07/26/2024 03:05:53
You've created a masterpiece here! I agree with everyone else about the lighting on the LHS, but other than that you've manipulated the elements superbly and prodoced a very eye-catching image. Well done. Posted: 07/25/2024 20:22:42
Hi Steve. Thanks for kind words and suggestions. Posted: 07/26/2024 03:06:36
I agree that darkening the background would improve the definition. Also, the light on the grass seems to come from the right, while the birds seem to have shadows falling on the right. Posted: 07/29/2024 04:14:10
