30 Jan 17 Reply Following Judy's and Dorinda's suggestions, removing the tilt of the top edge of the window, and also cropping some from the left yields the following, which seems significantly better than my original posting. Jan 19th
30 Jan 17 Comment This is a fun and happy picture, but when my eye reaches the boundary between the dog and the background, your dog's head suddenly feels two dimensional instead of three. I wonder if you could achieve the effect I'm guessing that you wanted with very strong vignetting? Jan 19th
30 Jan 17 Reply Incorporating Dales and Jon's cropping ideas and taking out the roof and road plus curb as well produces an image where my eyes do go to the bikes, although I still wish they were somewhat more distinct. Jan 9th
30 Jan 17 Comment It is a very nice picture. I guess that this month though, I'm not that enthusiastic about waterfalls taken with long exposures, perhaps because these days I seem to be wanting pictures to look a lot like the scene felt or looked. Either extreme in exposure time of a waterfall is not the way my mind sees them. You might want to look into Photomatix, an HDR program that can align the exposures, which eliminates the need to take an exposure series using a tripod. Jan 6th
30 Jan 17 Comment There is quite a bit going on in the vicinity of the bikes and some additional distraction elsewhere, for example, the open and beckoning door on the right. All this drew my eye away from the bikes. I wonder if a different angle might have shown their abandonment more clearly. In the case, B&W does feel more desolate. Jan 6th
30 Jan 17 Reply Yes, you are right, removing that building helps concentrate attention on the subject. It is amazing. I can look at an image for a month and not see something like this, and fresh, but experienced eyes, immediately see a way to improve the image. Jan 4th
30 Jan 17 Comment I like this better in color than B&W. It would be easy to overdo increasing the blue of the sky because to me, the sky is not the subject here. You can also view this as a mouth, in which case, a title could be "Teeth". Jan 3rd
30 Jan 17 Comment Wow, how do you even aim a 600? Arms of steel and/or a spotting scope? Because I don't see food in his beak, you could also title it "What are You Looking At?" The out-of- focus background portions of the image seem to have some compression artifacts. If you have a raw version of this shot, perhaps it can be processed to avoid these. Jan 2nd
30 Jan 17 Comment It is a really nice scene, with great colors. What I particularly like is that the waterfall is not the usual feathery blur obtained with a long exposure. The fact that the top crop just grazes the horizon over the left half is slightly disturbing. Cropping lower would fix this, but ruin the nice appearance of that triangular red roof in the top middle. Perhaps the original is larger and could include the horizon? Jan 2nd
