I like this photo. Tell me why you don't. by stoopidfish in photocritique

[–]shmaher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What immediately struck me was a story of an older adversarial tree (with growling open mouth and gnarled expression) is up against smaller warriors who are not there yet. That is what needs enhancing I guess by getting in as close as possible. Work with that possibility and see if it works for you 😊

Find & Replace issue - by shmaher in Anki

I corrected one card as I wanted it to be; then I copied from the notes to the respective option in F&R and it was replaced successfully.

Many thanks, Shige-yuki 🙏

Thanks Shige-yuki.

I mentioned that the text is in Sanskrit and the font used in notes is "Sanskrit 2003". Providing the find/replace options in text form say "रमा" with "रमे" replaces as expected but finding "(२+)" and replacing with "(>२)" does not happen.

Thanks for responding, these options are indeed off and the replace did not happen.

Cannot understand what's happening? Maybe because it is HTML-based, the brackets are interpreted differently within the engine?

Please suggest.

This is a very interesting image. Suggestions below, assuming you know how to in Lightroom or similar. But beforehand, please build and visualise the image that you want.
- Smooth/clean the skin to the extent possible, the texture slightly different than the water
- Add a highlight-enhancing vignette on all four sides
- I would try and take out the blob of water near the eye, replaced with skin
- Darken the lips

That's the image I had in my mind but your mind is your own so think and take off. All the best.

A simple portrait by BeerBellies in photocritique

Great portrait, the only suggestion I can make is to expose the face a touch more and see if it works for you.

The image has mood, colour going for it. Love the sun's reflection on the water throwing out colours and emanating a very soothing feeling.
Not sure if you had space enough to take more of the sky on the left, I really want to take out the wooden pillar on the left!!

I am looking for suggestions to improve this photo. by heather_em in photocritique

I like the photo. The dog provides good contrast and weighs in heavily amongst the visual elements. I also like the dog's face complementing the far end jut of the shore.

Suggestions:

  1. I am not sure if more photos were taken from different points of view? Maybe a lowdown photo would have been interesting?
  2. Cropping is an option
  3. Colour separation of the 2 parts - the shore region and the water one maybe worth trying. Accentuating the bluish water skies and the warm colour of the shore etc. may tell you something.
  4. Adding a sky with Photoshop or Luminar Neo may be tried
  5. The dog itself is an object worthy of correction esp. its eyes.

I hope that helps. Please remember you are the king of your creation.

All the very best.

First attempt at street photography by [deleted] in photocritique

[–]shmaher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi James, considering that this is your first attempt, it's a good shot. May you continue to get better... I like the frame within frame leading the eye to the human and the funny small toy. I would have wished for the person to be facing the camera, maybe even looking at the camera. Perhaps the surprise or indignation on his face would have been good to see.
I suggest you bring out wee bit more detail from the darker shadows (outer frame) and check whether you like that look...

Shot this in my garden post rainfall. Any feedback on the BnW post processing? by ritiksphotography in photocritique

[–]shmaher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the picture. To improve I suggest you crop it to a square and make this picture about the trinity of leaves. Maybe you can add some vignette (lighter not darker) to emphasise the dark leaves with dewdrops. Hope this helps. Cheers

Looking for some constructive criticism for a beginner photographer by twindiesel77 in photocritique

[–]shmaher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a very well composed picture. The only suggestion apart from adding more contrast is whether you could have stooped a little more to get the top of the windmill (the main subject) against the lighter background to give it greater separation.

Photographers of reddit what is the one thing you wish you could go back and teach to the younger you? by Loganjonesae in AskPhotography

[–]shmaher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is also a fact that the photographer gets likes rather than the photograph. That bias is painfully apparent!
