“I appreciate the time and thoughtful insight you shared regarding my image.
Your recommendations for change definitely improved the overall image. I certainly like
your suggestions regarding camera composition and post processing. It was very nice to meet
you and be a part of Saturday’s workshop. Looking forward to submitting another image to you for review and guidance.
Thank you again for sharing your time and expertise.”

“First, Thank you for the photography class this past Saturday, at the church in East Boston. A lot to absorb on MyLio. Was a little overwhelming. But now that I’ve had time on my own to explore the software, and do some comparisons, I think MyLio is going to become part of my work flow.
I’ve been a Photoshop Elements user for years. I edited one of my church photos in PSE and MyLio, and like MyLio version better.”

“We did have a very good time at the workshop we attended. David did a great job during our photo session and was very helpful.
We appreciated the time and effort he put into constructively critiquing our images. The video he recorded and provided showing how to implement his suggestions was very helpful and positively presented and received. ”

“David,
Thank you so much for your professional insight regarding my image of Joshua Tree at sunset! I found it very helpful to hear the subtle differences that make a good image a much better one. The information that you provided is the detailed part of producing a better, post processed image, which I, personally, find illusive.
Many thanks for your personalized critque, looking forward to getting your input on my 2nd image and Steve’s 2 images. I will, again, attempt to send you all 3 RAW files tomorrow.
Best regards,”
-June
