Joan, thanks for posting these. It is quite interesting to see all the extra detail in the second shot. Indeed, those mountaintops I see are showing ever so slightly. Now I want to visit the Grand Canyon. |

What a dramatic image! I get the feeling I am in the mine. Why isn't that man wearing a mask! I like the color corrections you did, as I think it makes the miner and his blue rag pop. The blue items nicely balance the composition as do the angled supports. Removing the lights helps to focus my attenion on the miner. There is, however, a bit of hanging wire (?) just over the miner that you might consider removing as it is a distraction.
I did wonder if you were too close to the action for safety, but I think that adds to the drama. Great job! |

Old trucks are terrific subjects. The treatment of the image, for me, has a vintage feeling that complements your subject. I think eliminating the windows and adding the reflection to the side window work well, as does the removal of the pole on the left. The sky looks blown out, so you might try adding blue as you suggested, as I think the sky needs something.
I like that you removed the car on the right. The cloned area, to my eye, looks cloned. I think that's beacause of the repeating white pattern as well as the unnaturally recurring wood piles. You might consider a tighter crop on the right side to elminate the need to clone. I think you would still have a attractive composition. |

I like the perspective. To me, it does a great job communicating the height. Your adjustments worked well to bring out the details in the rocks. It's a good contrast to the lovely smoothness of the falling water. Very nice! |

What an interesting perspective! Did the egret run into you? Your adjustments worked well at making the egret pop. I especially like the detail in the feathers on the underside of the wing. I would suggest turning the entire background black, but given this is a nature shot, I understand the constraints. Well done! |

For me, the foreground trees make this a strong composition. I love the sky in this image and would like to know more about how you were able to get the clouds to show. At first, I thought perhaps you "imported" them from an entirely different image, especially because of the mountain tops peaking up from the horizon, as Stephen pointed out. |

Mary - For me, the yellow was aesthetically unpleasing. After I captured the image, it occurred to me I could alter the color. I love yellow sunflowers and other yellow flowers. Odd, I know! |

You did a great job creating an exciting image from a dull one. What I'm most drawn to is the light on the rivulet of water draining into the ocean. It's a very nice effect that complements the dramatic lighting of the cumulus clouds. To me, the way you enhanced the color makes the image seem like an oil painting. Well done! |

What an interesting way to hang tools! I like the arrangement of the tools and the way the shadows contribute to the dimensionality. I prefer the less obvious chicken wire of the original photo, as I think this image is about the tools, and not the hanging material. To my eye, the border is too wide and does not add interest. I suggest cropping the image so that just the wood frame shows. |

You did a great job making this image look like a pen-and-ink drawing. It is a wonderful effect. For me, the y-shaped twig and its companion at the top left is a bit distracting and detracts from the pen-and-ink illusion. You might consider removing them. I like the texture of the background because it adds interest and complements the outline of the flowers. |

The angle of the buildings and the street immediately draw my eye into this photo. I like the way this scene captures the leisurely strolling of the people. (The 15 MPH speed limit sign fits with the mood.) This is definitely NOT New York City! To my eye, the sky is a bit too light. I see some blue there that could be brought out. You might consider a bit of burning. |

It was worth the wait to capture this image! I looked at other images of the Lone Tree on the web, and your capture is definitely unique from all others. When I imagine a story behind the image, I think of a holiday family get together gone wrong. This woman is trying to escape and finds solace in the lone tree.
I think the image might benefit from a bit of cropping on the right to focus better on "the two loners". In my opinion, the strong colors help to set the scene. I lived in Seattle for quite some time, so this sort of "wet" greenery looks natural to me. |

In my opinion, the image is artistic and conveys a strong story. The adjustments you made draw my eye to his intense concentration. I like the angle of the pose and how you captured the position of his hands. It is obvious to me that the guitar is his old friend! For me, the light leak adds to the artistic flare of the image. Nice job! |
