66 Dec 20 Comment Grab shots reveal one's creative instincts. They are so intuitive and nearly subliminal. I can see why you suddenly shifted. A carriage appearing out of nowhere is a delightful surprise. All the tech requirements for a great shot are spot on; however, I agree with comments about the darn tree overlapping the horse. It could be removed, if you wish, but would take a lot of pixel work. Dec 10th
66 Dec 20 Comment Palli, I like the vertical version of this image. It reminds me of some of the great images in the "Family of Man" series. The light catching the top of the trees is enchanting. I like the placement of the forest walkers. You caught them walking in sync. A very pleasant image. Dec 10th
66 Dec 20 Comment Gary, I like the way you allowed color in the barn and how you gave it more emphasis by the crop that moved it slightly more left of center. The texture and details in the foreground are palpable. This is an image I can imagine with a simpler cloudless sky. Leaving the power lines in the image gives it a native feel; however, being a bit neurotic about lines, I'd consider removing them. Dec 6th
66 Dec 20 Comment The soft textures and subtle shades of pink are comforting; however, IMHO, not being familiar with Japanese Tea Gardens, I find the composition of the B & W version easier to comprehend and appreciate. Dec 6th
66 Dec 20 Comment Emil, thanks for digging into your archives. The curvy narrow path is a strong compositional element. I like the way it parallels the fence and fence shadows. Beautiful use of light and shadows. There was no man in the original. Did you add him? A minor suggestion: remove the sign at the intersection? Dec 3rd
66 Dec 20 Reply Gary, wow, it does have impact in monochrome. Thank you for transforming it. I do not have the Silver Efex Pro program. You and a couple other photographers in our group use it. I must download it soon. Dec 3rd
66 Dec 20 Reply Thank you for the kind comments. I had my old Nikon D7000 converted by Life Pixel. They installed the 590nm filter which allows all IR light and some normal light near the IR boundary to be sensed. Dec 1st

88 Dec 20 Comment Gary, wow, this is an iPhone photo! I like both the color and B&W versions of this image. For me, it is a complex image that needs some visual searching before the eye settles down. For me, the color version is easier to comprehend. You captured an absolutely lovely sky. I wonder if through an alternative crop, less of the bush on the right in the foreground was evident, the viewer could more quickly explore the reflection and distant trees? Dec 10th
88 Dec 20 Comment Trey, whatever you did to enrich the colors and enhance the luminosity (highlights) has advanced this already lovely Fall scene to a higher level. I like the additional crop at the bottom, as Gary suggested. My eye wants a little more of the top of the Birch, but the composition is splendid as is. You are a comfortable, at home, photographer in forests. Dec 10th
88 Dec 20 Reply I agree Gary about lightening up her face, paints and gear. I made some slight adjustments, that seem to help. I wish I had composed it with more room in the foreground. Dec 6th
88 Dec 20 Comment Quang, the colors are gorgeous in this image and the blues in the distant hills add a pleasant mood-setting contrast. If this was my photo, I might try replacing the sky. With PS 2021 it can now be done quite easily with a stock image or one you supply. Dec 6th
88 Dec 20 Reply I really like your crop suggestion. Human beings deserve more attention than rocks. To draw even more attention to the artist, perhaps lightening her canvass a bit more and bring up the luminosity in colors in her paint tray might be appropriate? It was fun talking with her. Photography is a medium of communication, after all. Dec 4th
88 Dec 20 Comment These night shots are indeed a challenge, trading off shutter speed for an acceptable level of noise. I like the vantage point of this photograph, above the bridge looking down its length. At 1/20th I am surprised there is not more blur. The direct head-on shot (normal lens) and perhaps the speed limit slowed the cars? The bronze colors in the bridge nicely complement the dark blue of the night sky. Dec 4th
88 Dec 20 Comment Again Gary, I am amazed at what you can accomplish in post processing. This is not to say you had a lot of deliberate work and planning taking the multiple shots at the right time in the right place. I like the way the Genesee River leads the eye to the sun. The colors are spot on, not too saturated, simply naturally beautiful. Splendid work. Dec 4th
