CONSTRUCTIVE AND HELPFUL CRITICISM FOR PHOTOS, PART III

Season: First Sailboats on Lake St. Clair
Neither of these is the greatest photo, but I was so thrilled to see the first sailboats out on Lake St. Clair when just 2 weeks ago it was frozen. The contrast is amazing!
I did it again - I was sure I'd posted a comment to these yesterday. They both totally fit with the season theme and I am amazed by the transformation of the place. I certainly wouldn't like to risk being in a sailboat and possibly fall into the cold cold water. I love the grasses in the foreground of the sailboats and the impressive detail and sharpness in the ice. I wish you had let us see a bit more of Keith's face possibly by trying Edit - Adj - Shadow-Highlight.
If you post a comment and it "takes," it will show up in your mailbox within a minute or two, usually, at least mine do.
Thanks!
Yeah, I should try adjusting the shadows, I really did loose a ;lot of detail in the face etc, didn't I. I had some without Keith that were better in some ways, but having him in shows how big the ice chunks were.
Remember, I am leaving shortly for NY and will be off-line prolly for about two weeks. Prolly won't get to try the shadows adjustment until after I get back.
We are leaving THURSDAY MORNING (or midday) but the next two days will be very very busy with prep and I won't have time for much blogging or emailing.

Will be thinking of you and your family on your trip. Hope all goes well and you give mom a good send off. Look forward to your return.
Thank you so much.

Or playing with photos to lighten shadows, LOL! (Which I would like to try.)
I hope that you and Geoff and Val and families have a good fortnight.
Edit - Adj - Shadow-Highlight.
I don't have an edit/adj/shadow hightlight on mine--I'm using an older version, remember, I couldn't install it on my computer.
:-(
I wish I did, I need it!
What a shame - I find that very useful! I would say it is more useful than say combining two different exposures together.
