Hi Chan,
Thanks for your comments! I think you may have a good point here about flipping the image, especially because of the bush! |

Hi Lance,
It is interesting how a bit of cropping succeeds in simplifying the image and enhancing the Japanese esthetic you are going for. |

Hi Chan,
Your wife did a great job shopping! And you have put together an attractive composition. I agree about the table being distracting and really like the alternative shot you posted. |

Hi Steven!
A great action shot with wonderful focus and detail! The lighting on the muscles is great and the flying hair and facial expression as well as the position of the ball all combine to make this a terrific action shot! |

Hi Dale,
A beautiful rose! Focus is tricky with flowers - I've seen some where only a small portion is in focus and some where the whole flower is softly and dreamily out of focus. Yours is somewhere in between. Lightroom offers a lot of options to lower the highlights and improve clarity, etc. Since you are just starting with flowers you will want to experiment with different types of exposure and focus as well as different types of postprocessing. Looking at other people's flower photos can give one lots of ideas. Flowers are beautiful and convenient and they mostly stand still, so a good choice for practicing photographic and processing skills. I've almost convinced myself to get back out there and photograph them! |

Hi Will,
I think the hands and arms of the buyer and seller are well separated from the wares on sale. The language on the price markers gives the sense of a foreign market. I think the image tells a story of traditional with a contemporary touch. The color is a bit distracting. You could darken the background a bit, and perhaps desaturate it some or even make the whole image B&W. I do think it tells a story. |

Hi Cindy,
A beautiful azalea! I agree with Lance about the focus. A few other things you can check are the diopter setting on your viewfinder - it should be able to be set to have the scene in focus when you look through it. Another thing to check is where you have the focus point set. Some cameras let you move it around (mine does, and sometimes I forget to check where it is. Some camera settings let the camera choose the focus point, and that can get you in trouble. Lance's suggestion about using manual focus when on a tripod is an excellent one. But then you have to remember to put it back on autofocus for hand-held photos! So many things to keep in mind - I am assured that if you keep at it long enough these things become automatic. Hasn't happened for me yet! |

Hi Cindy,
As I told Lance, the mare was unintentional, but I shouldn't have been so lazy. The ? is a typo and looking at the keyboard, I have no idea how it got there. It should have been a dash. It was a wonderful workshop! |

I agree, the mare messes up the photo. I had several shots of this stallion and didn't notice the mare at first. When I did, I should have deleted it and chosen another version instead of just acknowledging that she is there. I am planning to do my portfolio for N4C this years using 8 - 10 of my wild horse images showing different behaviors of horses in the wild. |
