Hi Israel,
I love your Iceland adventure story! I am going to Iceland this summer. I don't think I'll be as brave as you to look into the volcano. |

Israel chooses the best subjects! I admire how he gets out with is camera group to such a variety of places, especially during sunrise and sunset. It's inspiring. |

Last year I took Bryan Peterson's Understanding Exposure course. I thought I understood exposure, but after taking that (which included weekly assignments and critiques) I feel more fluent in when to use which f-stop for which situations.
He also has a book, but I enjoyed watching his critiques of my images and those of the students.

Hi Israel, I did not notice that the items in the water are building materials until I read your description. I love the color version as well as the BW. Well done! To my eye, the horizon looks just a tad crooked. I fixed that and then cropped just a small amount to put the sun directly on the one-third line. In Lightroom, I adjust the highlights and white to lessen the overexposure of the sun. Then I applied a filter in Silver Efx that gave a more dramatic (to my eye) effect. As much as we might not want to see the building debris in the water, it is arranged in a nice line that gives a pleasing flow to the image. What do you think? |

Hi Bob, I like the contrast between the milky white water and the detail of the trees and snow. To my eye (and looking at a histogram in LR) some of the whites are pinned. While the image has an interesting blue cast, I personally would prefer grayscale. The image compelled me to experiment!!! I brought down the whites and the highlights in Lightroom. Then I used the Underexposed filter in Silver Efx. Finally I used the BuzSim filter in Topaz Studio at 88 to get this effect. What do you think? |

Hi Mark, I love the mood of this image. I suggest that if you go back to this area, that you use f/16 or higher. I see this as a "story telling" image which, to me, means that the foreground through to the background would benefit by being sharp. Oliver's treatment inadvertently added some sharpening, which I think improved the image. An alternative would be to crop out the foreground and focus on the falls themselves. The fact there are two falls, a mini and a taller one, is quite interesting in and of itself. |

Hi Emil, Your conversion to BW brings forth the interplay of light and dark, which is well done. You might consider cropping the right side just a bit to get rid of the overly bright section that draws the eye away from the center. While I like your image, I could not resist playing around with it. (Seems to be a requirement for this group.) This is the Pinhole Silver Efx treatment. I've never found an image that works well with Pinhole, but I think your image has potential because Pinhole focuses the eye on the path and all the darkness lends an air of mystery. What do you think? |

Hi Pete, The wonderful texture in the big bud is what draws my eye to your image. I love it! I think you are on to something by converting to monochrome. One suggestion is to take several images of a flower, some much closer, to see if isolating part of the flower might be interesting. Here is an example. |
