78 Jul 25 Reply Yes, this it. Jul 30th
78 Jul 25 Comment Pretty close, a little less off the bottom places the barn in a position I like a lttle better. Jul 25th
78 Jul 25 Reply Sorry, in my previous comment I forgot to mention that I also had to crop the sky in order to balance the image vertically. Jul 24th
78 Jul 25 Reply I like this more now that the barn is level. The hills to the left of the barn are wonderful. I like this better if enough is cropped off the right hand side to move to barn noticeably off center. At the same time, my liking of the image is maximized by also cropping off the bottom one fourth. Jul 23rd
78 Jul 25 Comment In my image editing program, that white line on the bottom of the gable is sloped downward to the left as shown by superimposing an artifical horizontal line.
I have played unsuccessfully at cropping to move the barn offcenter. None of my attempts looks any better than Brenda's submitted image with the barn centerd. Changing the barn's location detracts from the feeling generated by the rolling hills. So, like too many of my own images, I have to accept that the shot has an irremedial problem and move on, hoping that next time I'm not confronted with a similar problem.

78 Jul 25 Reply The manual for my "old" Canon T5i suggested having image stabilization off when using a tripod, but the manual for my newer Canon R5 says that you can leave stabilization on when using a tripod because the camera can detect the absence of motion and will shut the sstabilization off in that case. I suspect that your 6700 may do better with stabilization off when you use a tripod. Jul 7th
78 Jul 25 Comment Very nice processing. I particularly like the way you handled the land, both with respect to composition and in post. It is a pity that you didn't try using a higher ISO and a much shorter exposure as the star trails will be visible in a larger print. The trails themselves suggest that perhaps your image stabilization was on when you took the image. Jul 7th
78 Jul 25 Reply If you pan the camera with the motorcycle, the motorcycle will be sharp, but the spokes and tires of the wheels will have a "radial" blur (Technically, the blur should be called tangential, as radial would mean toward or away from the axis of rotation.). Jul 7th
78 Jul 25 Comment I agree, using a fisheye gives this type of picture a fresh and interesting feeling. I like the three tones in this, the white sky, grey needles, and black trunks. Jul 3rd
78 Jul 25 Comment I thank Brenda and Jean for their comments and suggestions. I guess though that I'm a minimalist and want to get by with few changes. This was taken in rather early Spring, and the leaves were this color. I did try increasing the saturation, but the image soon began to feel unnatural. Jul 3rd
78 Jul 25 Comment I like the bright orange against the dark background.
Blurring the wheels to emphasize their rotation and leaving the motorcycle sharp as though you panned the camera would then raise the question of why the background didn't blur appropriately. Maybe you could get around this problem by also by slightly smearing the motorcycle and rider.

78 Jul 25 Comment I like the colors. Jul 3rd
78 Jul 25 Comment Yes, very nice in all respects. I like having the people present. Nice composition. Jul 3rd
78 Jul 25 Comment I agree with Jean that it would look better to me as well if the barn were not right in the center.
The barn looks tilted to me, perhaps the camera was not level?
Could you describe how you brought up the blue in the sky?
