Pierre, I love what you've done with the colors and tones - shifting from a drab, uninspiring image to a really quiet, feel-good warm tone. I wonder how it would compare with a little more intimacy and punch? Jerry Posted: 08/14/2026 15:42:28
Thanks Jerry. Nice touch. Posted: 08/15/2026 00:24:09
Hi Pierre- I agree with Jerry's comments about colors and tones, and also with the potential to focus it a little more sharply on point of interest. I tried to do this by cropping the image down to bring out the little pond to make it more the focal point. Posted: 08/15/2026 00:22:38

Hi Pierre, You really did bring the photo to life giving a feeling of a warm summer day. Both the sky and field provide good leading lines to the pond. I agree with both Jerry and Kirk. As a suggestion, increase the contrast in the clouds a little. Posted: 08/18/2026 00:30:35
