14 Aug 25 Reply Hi Kamal - I would love to tell you that this was a staged photograph, but alas, I was at the mercy of these kiddos scrambling about. Just took enough shots that happened to have an image with a decent composition in the mix. Thanks for your input! Aug 28th
14 Aug 25 Reply Hi Karen - I appreciate the supportive and corroborating thoughts. Aug 24th
14 Aug 25 Reply Hi Erin - Thanks. We have some great parks around us and my granddaughter loves to explore them all! Aug 24th
14 Aug 25 Reply Hi Tom - HA! Old lady - maybe/weirdo - never! :) I agree he was probably curious about what I was up to as he took a break to look around. Although, I can't imagine it is all that uncommon for grandparents to be taking pictures of a grandchild on a playground full of other children . . . that's why I was there with IPhone in hand. Thanks for the observations . . . I think!! Aug 24th
14 Aug 25 Reply Hi Greg - I agree - playgrounds these days are so much more interesting and creative. I appreciate your supportive input. Aug 24th
14 Aug 25 Reply Hi Ingrid - Thank you for your kind comments. I was drawn to the composition although I hadn't seen that kiddo looking directly at the camera until I was reviewing the images . . . a nice surprise and an added plus. Aug 24th
14 Aug 25 Comment Hi Kamal - A beautiful landscape with lovely impact. The composition is classic - having a fore-, middle- and background is what brings depth to this image. The lighting and unifying color is wonderful and made even more so by how it reflects throughout. I agree with Ingrid . . . I wouldn't change a thing! Nicely seen and captured! Aug 17th
14 Aug 25 Comment Hi Tom - I agree that your efforts in Photoshop produced an improved image over the original - no surprise here. The more abstract environment created in post is alive with color and the exposure and lighting have brought more focus and interest to the ferns in particular. The horizontal arches stretching through the entire length of the image create a nice composition too. I also like that you haven't carried the lighting of ferns to either edge of the photograph helping to keep my eye inside the image. Nicely done! Aug 15th
14 Aug 25 Comment Hi Greg - Grackle's are not my favorite bird . . . the American ones are kind of bullies around the feeder. I particularly like how sharp the eye is, your tight depth of field and how you've brought out the texture in her feathers. I imagine that branches are always a bother to bird photographers. One of the foreground branches cross this subject's beak and as a result creates a distraction. I would eliminate that section of the branch. You're a master in post so I'm guessing you could do this and no one would be the wiser. It appears that you've caught this bird balancing on one foot - hope she's not injured. Nice capture and good job with the research! Aug 14th
14 Aug 25 Comment Hi Karen - This definitely meets the definition of "Lights in the Night". There is lots to like about the image - In particular, I like the story, all the colors, the bokeh created by the drizzle and the feeling created from the vibrant atmosphere despite the rain. That atmosphere works both ways though . . . it is also quite busy and I have a hard time knowing where to look. It does help some to have the leading lines looking down the street. If it were mine I would tone down the car lights - front and center as well as your car's headlight reflection on the couple of cars in the line up to the right. Good luck with your camera club submission! Aug 13th
14 Aug 25 Comment Hi Ingrid - Love that golden glow, the highway providing leading lines and the depth created by the receding mountains. I also like that you captured snow in the upper altitudes, creating interest. Nice capture. Aug 13th
