66 Apr 22 Comment Palli, such an interesting multi-stable image. Both the eye and the brain must labor overtime to settle on what "it" is. I like your processing work, bringing out details and drawing attention to the middle through subtle light enhancements. But what I like most about this image is how you spotted it and imagined what it could become. That's an artist at work. Apr 11th
66 Apr 22 Comment Emil, I rather like the original, but maybe flipped. What could be more IR than an old truck ajacent to a wooden shed? Very appealing. Here's a question out of the blue, nearly random: How did you set your white balance? Yours looks spot on compared to the other's originals, including mine. Do you readjust WB with each image or rely on a single carefully calibrated setting in your camera? Apr 11th
66 Apr 22 Comment Gary, I am lost for words. This image has impact because it is so emotional and personal. It is a personal reflection and statement on how you feel about the horror of war. However, it is also an experiment on applying filters to an IR image, appropriately blending visual and infrared light. Very provocative. Apr 11th
66 Apr 22 Comment Jack, the foreground doesn't bother me. Using the three cacti as a central compositional structure integrates the foreground and busy background. I like the contrast with the dark sky. Good experiment. Great image. Apr 11th
66 Apr 22 Comment Arik, it is a challenge to take a portrait of a tree, let alone find one to contrast it against a stormy sky. Trees are rarely separated enough to create a portrait situation; however, your eye caught this gorgeous tree and the background. Simply beautiful. Apr 11th
66 Apr 22 Comment A tunnel through trees backlighted with a strong leading line creates a very pleasing image. I like the slight tint you gave it and see why you increased contrast and sharpened the image. I am finding focusing with wide angle lenses with IR to be tricky. The wavelength of infrared light bends differently than visible light as it passes through lenses, especially wide angle lenses. I have read that using manual focus with live view instead of through the viewfinder can more accurately place the focal point where you want it. So, in a very wordy way, I am asking, is the image in focus the way you wanted it to be? Apr 11th
66 Apr 22 Reply Gary, you noticed what I failed to mention in my image description: I replaced the sky. I did this for the purpose of emotional contrast. However, I see the advantage of keeping a consistent somber tone. Thanks Apr 6th

88 Apr 22 Comment Trey, are we twins separated at birth? Several times our photographic subject matter has overlapped. I like the composition of the green moss covered rocks contrasted with the white flowing water. Changing the contrast and clarity restored just enough texture in the water to suggest its movement. Adding highlights to the moss added just the right touch. A very lovely image. Apr 11th
88 Apr 22 Comment Although this is a scene familiar to many, your version is fresh and interesting. I like the effort you invested in stacking the images. The result is a photograph with nearly 3D properties. Very lovely image. Apr 11th
88 Apr 22 Reply Thank you John for your kind words and useful comments. I agree about the light colored rocks on the left. They are a bit distracting. Congratulations on booking a trip to Iceland. It is one of the heavens on earth for landscape photography. I am looking forward to the images you will share with us. Apr 11th
