Thank you, Chan. Your interpretation of the future erasing the past is probably what is actually happening, and what I experienced in India is the fleeting moment in time when both still exist. |

Hi Cindy,
I like both versions for different reasons. I love how we can see the whole tail in the first image, and I love the white tufts behind the ears and the long sharp claws in the second. Those claws explain how these little guys can climb so well! Everyone had good suggestions, but the best one was to keep getting out there and practice waiting for them to do something interesting. Patience is the hardest part of wildlife photography, and it's something I really need to work on. |

Hi Will,
The storm and clouds and lightning really take this image out of the realm of ordinary night shots! And the reflections add to it. I was so caught up in the sky that I barely noticed the sheds and the boat. The sheds could go, I suppose, but I don't think I'd take the boat out. I can see why you got attached to this image and I would love to see the surreal versions! |

Hi Dale,
I love your bird! I've heard this style of photo called an animalscape because both the bird and its surroundings are important to the story. The blurred background is perfect! |

Hi Steven,
A wonderful capture of this beautiful bird! I am definitely in the keep the nest camp. I think it adds information about Osprey behavior. And I agree with your wife and Cindy and Lance about the sky. In my club this image could be entered in Nature with the original sky, or in pictorial with a sky replacement, but only if it was a sky that you actually shot. But rules or no rules, I like the image just as it is! |

Hi Chan,
For a person who gets seasick and isn't into fishing, I'm surprised how much I enjoy photos of boats! Your crop is excellent, especially getting rid of the sky. And your B&W conversion is beautifully done. |

Hi Lance,
A very mysterious shadow, and it does have a touch of double exposure feel to it. I thought horse, but now that Cindy mentions it, I can see fish. You notice the most interesting things! |

Thanks Will! Yes, the sand color. I tried to make them blend better by putting a purple adjustment over the flattened image. Your suggestion of working with the camel image separately using white balance or some kind of color adjustment might work a lot better. Actually, the colors in the two images weren't that far apart, as you can see if you look at the two ends. It is only in the center where the two colors blended that the colors became radically different. Blending modes do strange things! This is another matter I will take up with my PS tutor. I appreciate your comments! |

Thanks Steven and Lance!
First, I totally agree about the harsh vertical lines, but I have not yet learned to use masking. My club has just started a mentoring program and the woman who is offering PS help is coming over tomorrow, and masking will be the number one priority for this photo. My plan is to use the images I created for my class as a framework for learning more PS.
As for size, Lance nailed it! My thought was how camels are being replaced by machinery. But both ways would work, just with different stories. |

Thanks, Lance! The guy on the bike was just a random guy at the informal Sunday afternoon dune bashing event near Jaisalmer. I had a bunch of photos of guys on bikes, but chose this one because of the color of his outfit! It is not uncommon for people in Rajasthan to dress flamboyantly. |

Thank you, Cindy! I learned one small portion of Photoshop, but for me it was a big thing! The key was not trying to do too much and then repeating the process multiple times to make it stick. Class was ungraded, but I gave myself an A! |
