Samuli - love the soft, warm light in both building shots. Some subtle telephoto compression in the first to highlight the repetitive patterns in the buildings.
AbramG: enjoy! The first test shot is particularly nice -especially the front door!
rwcs: yellow & blue color combo really adds to the shot. Love to see more.
prosep: interesting shot of the falls in Yellowstone. Taken from Artist Point? When did you go? Nice to see some lingering snow as well. My very personal opinion would be to slightly bring down the contrast levels slightly w.r.t the brown tones in the corners
BTW, ws your workflow there something like this? !
<swat flies> <take shot> <put bug spray> <throw it away> <swat some more> <repeat>.
juan: Yeah, as Samuli said, quite shallow bokeh, even after accounting for 35mm FL and background distance [estimated]
Bob: that 5 shot pano, is very, very good. Crisp and vibrant! Regarding your second
set, #3 and #4 are already at a very good baseline IMHO and a few simple moves and some careful sharpening should do the job. On images like #1, if the histogram is narrow as I suspect it is, it would be useful to open up the highlights a little bit [unless it was a dark grey] and work on some local contrast in the upper half of the tone curve. the lower half will need only some gentle contrast treatment before it gets crunchy IMO. Or else, try B&W and a higher contrast/separation treatment.
This is also a good candidate for an a,b curve steepening move in LAB.
