Awesome idea and execution Jay. I like it. The second one has more WOW factor to it.

I really like this, Jay. Well done. May I suggest rotating it horizontally so the couple is in the right third? My eye keeps drifting to the pool.

thanks Ray.

John, you may have to save it and do it for me to show me what you mean.

I know what you mean though about drifting. That is what bothers me about the pic. the couple is too far off to the left. It is almost like they are in a panoramic shot where you have to turn your head to the left to see them. When I get time, I think I will try to put them above where they would be if they just walked off the last step on to the main platform area around the pool.

First of all: Great picture. If you hadn't asked I would have nothing to say.

I find the yellow shirt too similar to the lights. The jeans seem a little too blue as well. How does black and white, or at least highly desaturated look? I'm at work or Id check it out myself.

that is better. still not sure I like them being so far off to the side though. did you use levels to brighten it a little more or other tool?

Very nice. I like the cropped version very much! Now my eyes wonder around the waterfalls but ends up on the couple.

The color difference is due to converting it from Adobe RGB to sRGB.

Cropped version works.

Yes, I agree about the wandering eyes.

I tried playing with your faithful yesterday but could not get it come out the way I wanted. I like the color version. The geyser seems to really pop and gets your attention immediately. I hope I can get up there someday.
