Hi Tom - Agreed. Going back to this garden (especially in the spring) would be lovely as would capturing a better depth of field. As always, I appreciate your observations. |

Hi Greg - Interesting insight. I had not thought of the image as peaceful. I appreciate the perspective. |

Hi Ingrid - Your camera club comes up with some innovative challenges and you've found a creative way of answering the task. Your composition is good. I might suggest either replacing one of the two almost duplicate images or perhaps rotating one of the images. Maybe it's just me . . . my eye keeps going to those two. Otherwise, nicely done - |

Hi Kamal - I appreciate that your travels result in images that show the cultural landscape, as I always learn something new. While I knew that northern India had a desert landscape, I had not associated India with camels somehow.
Your image taken as street photography has a lot to draw my interest and eye. If it were mine, I would probably crop so that my eye would follow the line of camels and focus on the festival's parade - maybe after the second camel on the right and take some slightly off the left as well - possibly a square aspect ratio? You might consider bumping the saturation some to bring out more of those beautiful colors and adding a vignette (can you add a vignette in street photography?). The detail is sharp and I like that the shadows draw me visually up and into the image. Is it me, or is that first camel smiling for the camera? |

Hi Xiao - I enjoy seeing your images of birds in flight. They invoke emotion, interest and are quite creative. This image is no different. I like the detail in the feathers, especially those on the bird's body. I don't mind the softness generated by movement except on the head around the eye. I would have liked to have that in focus which probably would have resulted in a stronger eye glint as well. I like the splay of the wing feathers and the subtle play of light on them. The contrast of the background is nice and is well-done as is the composition as a whole. Good job - |

Hi Tom - What an interesting bloom you captured! It is a Queen of the Night cactus - a catch-all term describing several types of cactus that only bloom at night and usually only for a single night. They are typically quite fragrant too. While the plant is not rare, the blooms can be.
Great close up! I love how crisp and clear the detail of this image is. You did a nice job with your IPhone's flash and in post on the background. I particularly like the choices made that resulted in the translucent feel of this specimen. And the working bee invites me to keep on looking. A very, very minor item would be to remove the white spot (another flower perhaps?) in the lower left corner. Otherwise a compelling image with good impact. Quite a nice capture - especially when you know the story behind this bloom. |
