That clone-stamp darken mode trick in the end is worth a tutorial on its own!
My thoughts entirely Mads. A great tip that will be very useful as is softening the edges of harsh sunlight
Oh MAN, I’ve worked through your whole suite of tutorials, Nick, multiple times, but even so, watching you think through other people’s images and decide where they need a little fix-it work is SO helpful in understanding what makes your editing so good. Thanks man!
Please do more videos like this! So much useful information, a well thought out critique and delivered with thoughtful optimism. Thanks for all your work Nick!
These comments are always so constructive and clearly explained - thank you
when I took oil painting, the prof would make people cry... it was wild. I like your mild manner approach and taking the extra effort to explain what you would change and why. It's actually helpful. I do believe that we can ALL be better, and with such mindset, you grow over time.
You're a good teacher: first praise, only then find fault, finally demonstrate a correction.
Gives a lot to think about. From taking the shot thru post. Good stuff!
Dude, you’re a freaking master! Love watching you post process. Thanks for doing these critiques. Thanks to everyone submitting! Beautiful work!
Brilliant vlog, Nick - you make the processing look so easy! Look forward to the next one.
Your little tips and tricks in this video are so golden, you literally hit the nail on the head for some of the little problems Im having! THanks Nick!
This actually helped me with a masking issue I've been struggling with Lumenzia. Thanks Nick!
Love hearing your thoughts as you critique the images, very informative
This was great, perfect way to critique images using the more hands on method. Looking forward to more.
More of this nick! Love to hear your thoughts.
Love that you are spending some of your isolation time time helping others with your feedback. It's also very helpful when you to take some of the images and apply some of your recommendations in photoshop.
This was incredibly helpful. I feel like many folks who critique end up just being complimentary and not actually critiquing, but you gave awesome constructive criticism.
Thank- you Nick for your kindness, knowledge and inspiration. We will all benefit from listening to your thoughts, suggestions and critiques. Thank- you to everyone for submitting your images. Look forward to your next review Nick. Best of Safety, Health and Happiness everyone.
Thanks for the critique Nick. Now that I look my image it does make sense.

Thanks again - these critique sessions generate constructive thinking in the story telling of the image. Learning a lot with the free time we all are getting. Questioning, critiquing, and learning are better on my soul than bitching, blaming, and learning nothing. Keep up the great work!
Fantastic! Dealing with the bright sky was fantastic, and so quick. These were great tips on all the photos. What a great idea to do this.
Way, way better than I had hoped. I’ve learned so much that I can use right away.
Great video and some amazing shots. I paused the video and looked over each image came up with what I thought then listened to what your thoughts were. I view so many images watch so many videos and don’t get to shoot that often but it’s unbelievable the impact it has on finding my own compositions out in the field.
Thank you Nick for this super educational moment ......the editing on the forrest image is eye-opening !!!
Nick, you are really good at this. Thank you. I hope to see a lot more of it.
Thanks Nick .' ...managing where the highlights are going to live to help the visual path.' This simple, but powerful statement will live with me.
This was really helpful Nick, you can learn so much from video's like this!!
Looking forward to the next one!!!
I learn a lot from these critiques! Thanks for doing these videos.
Fantastic watching your thought process on other images. Just the tip on changing the clone stamp tool to darken was a huge help. Thankyou and look forward to more awesome content.
Excellent Nick, you’re like a wizard with that pen, thank you
Really cool of you to do this can't wait for the next one.
This was awesome info Nick! Thank you please do more. Sorry about your poisoning, you will be missed.
Love the format.
This was a REALLY helpful video Nick. What better way than to brush up on our editing skills, with all this free time indoors!!
I for one are looking forward to the next one. Keep up the good work.
Really really helpful to hear your thought process here, thanks Nick!
Excellent, I love seeing how the artist things not just the techniques used. Also a nice tough the really low piano music in the background. This video was a pleasure to watch and much need stress relief from the news.
Awesome as always! Love this!
Awesome as always .. can’t wait for the next one .. will be back to finish :-)
Very generous of you Nick to share your great gift of post processing, :-)

A lot of great information Nick.
Good good stuff! Very helpful man. Love when you actually get in there and show what you mean in PS.
Super critiques! It was especially helpful to watch you re-edit the images -- not only to see your train of thought, but also to see what tools you use to get to your vision.
Wow that was one fast half hour. Really enjoyed this video. Always looking at improving. Huge thankyou for all you do. Stay safe

Awesome episode Nick
Even though I am mostly a wildlife photographer, the ideas and techniques you present are good food for thought. Gracias, and stay healthy.
Very well done! I learned a lot, thanks.
Excellent video! Great tips.
Really useful tutorial, thanks Nick.
Thanks. You really do a nice way to comment the photos. It's very helpful and you do it in a nice way. I look forward to see more. Anyway I'm fan of your edeting style and for sure of your channel.
Gran vídeo Nick. Muy útil ver tus consejos sobre como mejorar las fotografías de otros. Este tipo de vídeos ayuda mucho al resto de personas. He descubierto hoy tu canal y me encanta.
Wonderful critique! I learn so much but reviewing your comments and suggestions. Now... I have the time and opportunity to focus on learning. Stay safe and positive :) Thank you!
Another great video!
Really excellent commentary and examples. Esp enjoyed your edits in last two images.
Great tips Nick.
That was great Nick, Thanks! very constructive
That was great Nick! I found myself looking at the various images doing my own critique and surprisingly found that I was seeing the same issues for the most part. The difference is that I can’t come close to dealing with a lot of those issues with the same ease that you demonstrated. I ditched PS when Adobe went with their subscription based model and I’m using a standalone LR version that is sorely dated. Might have to cave in and re-up because the version of LR is not supported if I update to the latest macOS either now. Bastards!
thanks Nick. Helpful.
Nick, just came upon your channel. And thanks for the 'happy Armageddon' intro straight off the bat, that resulted in a mouthful of beer over my keyboard! Man, that was funny.
Great video Nick
I really like the way that you approached the critiques. You demonstrated 'balanced' feedback in a way that still allows the submitting photographer to take pride in the submission. I have submitted images before for public critiques and after the critique was over I felt I should give up photography altogether. In many cases, it isn't the feedback provided by the reviewer, it is their tone that can be most upsetting. After all, capturing images and post-processing can be very personal. Keep safe & thanks for making this great content! Cheers, Keith (Canada)
Very helpful video Nick 👍
Wow, that was a quick 27 minutes. Great session!
Love it
Good stuff Nick! Learned good stuff from this one!
Up until this past 2 weeks I would use Lightroom for 90% of my editing. I found Photoshop to be cumbersome and counter-intuitive; therefore, only using it for things Lightroom just couldn't do. However, now that I find myself with more time on my hands, using tutorials from you, Sean and Greg and getting the Lumenzia panel, it is becoming easier to visualize what i want and achieve it in Photoshop.
It is a horrible thing we are facing but I am able to find the silver lining in being able to create it in Photoshop.
Thank you Nick
Really enjoyed this one Nick, would like to see more critiques :)
Those were some nice pictures and good critique. 👍
Definitely useful, learned quite a bit from that! Thank you.
Thanks very much for the critique Nick (last image). Very handy tips. I'll rework the raw file and see what I come up with. Especially now that I've found a workaround for luminosity masking in Affinity Photo, it'll be worth taking a fresh approach to this image. Really great tips, which I will definitely implement.
I like this. Thank you!!!
Great information. Thanks!
Thanks Nick for your opinion.
i like your presentation because it offers constructive comments and "how to's" to support your opinion without harsh, negative comments & without a "superior" attitude. i think we can all use encouragement rather than demeaning criticism. thank you.
Wonderful post, Nick. I look forward to more of these critiques; they're very helpful.
I have some comments on the beach image with sea stack arch and sunset (13:00+). I think your edit focuses in on the dramatic parts of the image, and the result of your edit is compelling. But in the process I think you make the image considerably tighter and heavier, and lose a part of what I like most about the original image -- and maybe what the photographer was going for. To me, the original image conveys a sense of expansiveness -- big sky, lots of air, a lot of gentle light, large areas that are serene rather than dramatic. The dramatic bits exist in a larger, more calm and expansive context that is also part of the story. I find that I want to see the image even wider, maybe lighter, with a less dramatic wave--all to enhance the contrast between the dramatic bit and the larger, gentler context. And, ideally, I'd like the foreground rock (apex of the upside-down triangle) to be a bit larger. I don't claim to know what the photographer intended; I can just speak to what the photograph said to me.
I'm definitely not saying that a weakness is a strength if it's what the photographer intended. My point is that making a picture stronger can sometimes result in a picture that tells a different story. And I think, in this case, there's a valid argument for taking a different direction when editing the photo.
Ironically I was thinking similar thoughts on that edit and about to put up a comment but yours sums it up. I did like the crop though but not how the mood of the photo changed so much. With that said I'm happy Nick processed all these images they way HE would not worrying about what others would think. What makes this interesting is if you put all the same images on the desktop of another artist the end result would likely be very different but possibly equally as compelling. I too look forward to more critiques.
Excellent!
Thank you Nick, that was really interesting and useful.’im just sorry I didn’t get a chance to submit but I intend to fire an image to you tonight.
Thank you - very helpful.
Great video!
Great stuff
Very informative thank you
Super helpful and it was cool to see what you see in other photographers images. :-)
I missed it! Will send a photo ASAP!!
