I love the simplicity of this image. You have indeed created a strong image. Best wishes with your exhibition plans. Unfortunately, I will not be able to see it as I live in the United Kingdom. |

This image not so much tells a story as invites a story! As a result it is the more captivating. Certainly the cropping you applied worked well. Were you tempted at the time of taking also to zoom in to the 300mm end of the Tamron? The bars without the arch might have been to distracting. |

Very strong portrait with excellent lighting. Could you give us more information how you lit your subject? |

I love the saturation of the colours in this image. The lighting too is very effective. I was wondering if you have looked at it in high contrast monochrome? This would further bring out the textures.
Great picture! |

My first reaction was similar to many of the group which was to crop more tightly. But after thought, I believe it would turn an intreguing image into a rather cliched one. The main feature obviously is the 'hall of mirrors' effect of the doorways. To that end, I agree with suggestions that more texture in the sky, if possible, would be useful.
I was wondering if you had a considered a gentle vignette to focus the eye back onto the image's centre?
I would very much like to see your old dog image sometime.
Thanks for a most interesting picture. |

Thanks for this image that invites you in to its story. I believe your second picture should be the basis of your further work although I agree with Peter the ground beyond your husband could be darker. Similarly, I would selective darken the area of near white on the bottom right of the passage entrance to be closer to the tonal range of the original. As it is, I find this bright area somewhat distracting and the original wall had more character. Hope this is helpful. |

Thanks for your image of a Menorah which has sacred significance in the Jewish faith. From my own experience, photographing in cathedrals can be very difficult. Not least we cannot or do not wish to use flash. Also there can be significant numbers of visitors obscuring subjects.
I believe the contrast is just about right to create a pattern rather than a 'portrait' of the candelabra. In particular, I like the play of light from the windows on the chairs. Perhaps some very selective and slight lightening around the actual candle holders at the base of each candle might be interesting to explore.
Thanks for an interesting picture. |

This is a most striking image of fascinatingly designed building. In common with the other Group members, I agree the contrast needs to be increased. If it had been possible to photograph it with a side light to bring out texture that would have been great. I believe that Dirk-Olaf is on the right track by cropping. This would bring attention to the sweeping spire and also remove the 'clutter' of scaffolding on either side. Another possibility if time had allowed would have been to exaggerate the spire slope by photographing sharply upwards from its base.
Nevertheless, you have share a striking image.
