Good camera's aren't they. Huge Dof and color. Exposure is a snap, as is focus. Even if this was a hill, I think I would level it to the fence and not the tree. |

Very technically sound, with lots of repetitive shapes and light. Good subject for B&W. |

I may have to spend some time there on the way to meet my brother in June. The canola should be in bloom, and the yellow fields are a spectacular contrast to the green wheat fields.
Great light on the contours, although there is a rather long dark area that probably needs some dodging to tie it all together. Might be a New Holland tractor lower left as they use that blue.
The conference will be in the Palouse this year. |

Sharp, well exposed, and I'm guessing you fixed a shiny spot on the large bulb (or boxing glove?) f16 should give you the starburst, but the zoom created strange lines I'm not sure about. Pretty creative for our technical perfectionist! |

Even though the color is pretty monochromatic, the light separates the ponies nicely. Good focus and fair exposure, but I think I'd crop most of the top slough to keep it from drawing the eye from the ponies. Which is Misty? |

Straight Horizons, or attitudes are a must for competition, and in general. Nice job of focusing and the color is good. Large spectral highlight on the bow. Probably a good image if he is your client, but I agree that his face needs to be brought out. I might clone out the other boat. It obviously isn't in the race. Did you have any wider angles with multiple racers? |

Funny, but I was attracted to the scene because of the blue! Go figure. Gave it a haunting look for me. |

The sun was the light source. I don't remember or didn't notice what was on the roof that caused the blue areas, but it added the pop for me. I do like the B&W, and tried several virtual copies, but ultimately selected this for comments. |

I think you have grasped the ideas of DDG perfectly. Well said. This is the place to try out our images we are struggling with, or have become too attached to emotionally to see them as others (judges) might. Thanks, Ken |

Greenbaum's was just my poor attempt at humor. |

Hmm. As you can see from Larry's reply above, if you click on reply, a new reply box is supposed to be indented in the comment. The "comment here" box should change to "reply here," and if not try clicking reply again until it does. If you are still having trouble, let me know, and I'll have Tom check it out. |

Excellent detail, focus and color. I like your sunnny woods bright, but the flowers are a better dark base, for me, if cropped up to eliminate the sunlit flowers at the bottom. Maybe a gradient would work too. Simon Baxter does really nice woodlands video's on u-tube. Thanks for the hint, Paul. |

Little house on the prairie. Great story, composition and processing. Probably would work as a sepia or B&W too. |

I like Paul's story. Glad you were able to get off the tracks without any harm done. I cannot find a story or subject (besides Greenbaums) to focus on, except that the switched track goes into the bushes. |

I could not disagree more about Greenbaum's. My sister in law works at that store (over 35 years now!) |

I like the ideas you've tried out. It is an image that appears to have too much dynamic range, and may have benefited from HDR processing prior to converting to B&W. Larry's flip makes sense to me. It looks like he may have leveled the image too. When I look at the dark areas, I see details, but nothing that adds to the image, so I might just take them to black. The diagonals are good,but in my opinion, I'd like the base cleaned up from the scrub plants. |

It is generally accepted that the eye is actually drawn to the brightest and sharpest parts of an image, Squinting will define the brightest parts, and the subject may be defined by its sharpness.Try it out. |

Excellent image, and you didn't fall into the canyon. Well done. I'd agree with the comments so far on processing, and camera focus. There are different reasons for photography, and being able to take a tack-sharp image is paramount when starting out. You have to be able to master the camera and lenses that you own.

So this is what a traffic jam looks like in Idaho! I like that the equipment is running from L-R (looking into the future.) Leica is famous for its color, and this is very vivid. Good wide angle subject, I think. We used to have clean air, but not so much any more. |

Just another New England millionaire. I think the family did rent out rooms after his death. We roamed the balconies and it pays to be wealthy! |
