Hi Julie,
A little more what around the edges? Do you mean you think a vignette would help, or you wish I hadn't cropped so far? |

I would be interested in seeing what you do. I think pictures of statues are worth doing. They summarize and interpret our culture just like architecture does. there is room for the photographer to interpret, just as there is in a landscape foto.
I look forward to your next shot.
Have you every tried putting all your statue shots together and look at them as a group and see where your muse is taking you with those? |

Great cropping. This is a great portrait. The work you did on the colors brings out his eyes, I love the hairlight.
But most of all, your friend is simply a great subject. I was a little confused - what was he holding in front of his face? But once I studied it more than anything I wished I could talk to the guy. The expression in his eyes is priceless! |

My first reaction was that cloning out the top right was not necessary because the line of the hedge parallels the line of the lawn. But once Don did it it did seem better.
I too find your tight crops a bit claustrophobic.
On the second picture I wish the tree in the back was gone but that we had more room to the front.
This is an image where combining three views in one image would probably work great, as a way to evoke the character's intense thought. But your original image does evoke that by itself. It feels a little overexposed to me - I feel like I am missing out on texture.
A question I have for you: you take this type of picture of sculptures often. Do you simply want a record of the scultpure or are you also trying to comment on them? By re-titling I feel you want to comment. I'm not sure how one would "comment" on a sculpture when the photograph it, but if anyone could do it it would be you.
This inspires me to try to go around my town and photograph the sculptures in a "commenting" way. |

Don, that is a beautiful photograph. To me it tells a story, because of the historic ship. Putting these two images on one page makes me think we should try that as a group, all of us do panoramas one time. Andrew, what do you think? |

Wow, I just woke up and there is already a full blown discussion going!
I find the conversation about panoramas interesting. Maybe one month we could all agree to do panoramas, just for fun. It would be interesting. I sometimes try it on my phone, more as a way to catch an interesting view, but I've never really thought about it like a photographer, with a goal to make something really artistic. Jaime, your picture is really evocative. I feel the water "breathing." I love the colors of the sunrise. I like the range of the image just as it is, I appreciate the simplicity.The point of your image is the mood, the invitation of the sunrise for us to pause and empty our minds before we go on with the day. Love it! |

Hello Mondrian!
Really amazing what a difference flipping it made. I see you flipped it to the left but also did a 180 flip. Judicious cropping, excellent slider work.
That's a big lens to carry around handheld! Can you use a monopod with it when walking around?
Really lovely, evocative, picture, could be used like a mandala for meditating, similar to your picture last month. You should link up with a poet and illustrate a chapbook of meditative poems.... |

I wasn't familiar with that filter so I looked it up. Here is the link for others who are curious: https://www.peterstewartphotography.com/Blog/Color-Efex-Pro-4-Review
What a fantastic photo opportunity! I assume they charge money to let you do that, is it very expensive? Do you give them copies of the pictures? Has there ever been an exhibit? When it is restored, what will they do with it?
Your original picture is well framed but seems out of focus. It looks like you used a fisheye lens?
The final crop is excellent and the filter adds contrast and highlights texture in amazing ways. The image does make me want to know more about the building, you have definitely succeeded in evoking a sense of time and history.

Julie, what an evocative picture!
Their faces tell so many stories.I especially love the two children in the middle who look longingly at the seed packets while their mother digs for change.
Excellent job with the cropping.
The birds feel a little overexposed. Maybe a little more slider work in camera raw to reduce brightness or whites.
Great picture!
