I'd love to have a review of this photo... How
could I improve it with post-processing? I did
post process already.

Hi Dan,

This is quite something! I really love the softness brought across by the movement. A very striking image.

Compositionally, my recommendation is to eliminate 1) the partial flower protuding into the frame on the left and 2) the bright spot in the upper right corner. Other than this, I'd say you might want to play with some additional blurring/softness if you are up to it. Not sure where that will lead, but its worth a try.

Great work! :toast:

Thanks Anil. I agree with the 2 nitpicks. Should've cropped that before posting the photo in the 1st place, esp. since I adjusted the photos already.

Another batch'o pics comming up! :)

Dan,

Very nice. I also like the receeding focus/DOF; the emphasis is placed on the foreground flowers and grasses which make for a strong composition. I like what you've captured. Will have to agree with the open area in the URC, but the flower on the left doesn't detract for me.

I updated this photo too. No more cut flower nor sky.
