66 Oct 22 Reply Yes this image is multistable in terms of definition of the dominant subject. I have a version without the pigeon that may be more pleasing to the eye. Oct 11th
66 Oct 22 Reply Yes I flipped coins to decide on keeping the humans. They are less graceful looking than the pigeon and distracting; so, I'm going to play God and remove them. Thanks for biasing my coins. Oct 11th
66 Oct 22 Comment Henry, the Garden of the Gods is a magical place, which your photograph captures quite well. The sky you rendered so deeply blue contrasts nicely with the boulders and foliage in the garden. Since you and I experiment more with color than the others in this group, perhaps we should share some trade secrets. I'm wondering about your white balance setting in your camera, it seems too bias to reds. You might have a second look at it. Also, in post processing, you can make some white balance adjustments in Camera Raw using the customized setting. You'll be delighted with the results. Oct 8th
66 Oct 22 Comment Emil, such a lovely scene, so perfect for IR. Removing the spillover dam was essential, allowing the reflection and the viewer's eye to move on to the bridge. Your translation to black and white is masterful, however, being me, the colorized version is lovely too. If the color of the sky was changed, the image would be pleasantly dreamy. Oct 8th
66 Oct 22 Comment Palli, the inversion was a smart creative decision. It made these beautiful trees the subject allowing the viewer to see a lovely abstract pattern too. Wow. Oct 8th
66 Oct 22 Comment Gary, you are so creative. Here you have made a sculpture-like image, not merely a photograph. The glow adds so much interest value, especially the tops of the palm trees. Please don't laugh at this trival suggestion: why not remove the couple going into the castle, don't they know the title of this intriguing image? Oct 6th
66 Oct 22 Comment Jack, this is a complex image, but you wisely used the path through the vineyard to pull things together. The vibrant luminescence of the grape leaves could only be accomplished with IR. I like Palli's version; it gives more pop to an image that is already strong. Oct 6th
66 Oct 22 Comment Arik, such powerful interesting clouds. This is not only an exceptional IR image, but also a story about an isolated, abandoned home. I agree with the other commments and add a suggestion: why not remove the little hut at the lower left? Oct 6th
66 Oct 22 Comment Melanie, I like the viewpoint you took on this marvel of architecture. The curved walkway and repetition of geometric forms is a good IR subject. Eye candy. Oct 6th

88 Oct 22 Comment I agree with the comments of Rich and Mark and would like to second your thoughts as well about cropping. The grass in the foreground causes my eye to hesitate entering the image. May I suggest also making the clouds a bit more angry by increasing contrast and texture. These are great clouds; they contrast beautifully with the tranquility of the rest of the image. Oct 11th
88 Oct 22 Reply Very good advice about cropping. Like it. Will do it! Oct 11th
88 Oct 22 Reply Yes, I over salt my food and over saturate my images. I agree, the colors have to move a tad back to natural. Thank you. Oct 11th
88 Oct 22 Comment I agree with Mark's comments and must add that this is one of the best images you have shared with us. The placement of the boy and his glance downward is powerful. Thank you for sharing this portrait of solitude with us. Oct 11th
88 Oct 22 Comment I like the way you used a fast shutter speed to capture the energy of the storm surge. One can almost hear the waves hitting this pier. Shfting the color more toward blue brings a coldness to the image that completes its story. Oct 11th
88 Oct 22 Comment This image arouses one's compassion. She is not your usual beggar. Look at her clothes and bag. She is not used to doing this sort of thing. She is desperate. I particularly appreciate the look of discomfort on her face that you captured. Thank you for sharing the image and the story it tells. Oct 11th
