Yes, but I always find hearing the perspective of others makes me think about composing a shot. It reminds me to ask myself "Is this what I want in the frame?" and "Can I position myself in a better position?" or "Would it be better to wait until the light changes" or " Should I experiment with a few different shots."
Getting me to think differently is why I love the Digital Dialogue! So I thank you for your perspective. |

Thanks Harley. The trick with the iPhone is to capture using RAW so you have more post processing options. Also, Apple automatically applies sharpening, so if you plan to do any fancy post processing, including enlarging, I find it is best to turn off the sharpening in LightRoom or in the Adobe Camera Raw app. If you need sharpening you can apply it at the last step.
My husband also found out that he can process the phone images using HDR. WOW! What a difference with the color. However, it requires an HDR 12-bit viewing screen, which an iPad has. So he ends up showing his images on his iPad, and they look stunning. The Internet is my outlet, so I can't do that. |

Hi Mark,
Thanks for your kind comments. While I agree a shot without the dingy might be better for showing only the landscape, it wasn't possible because I was on a sailboat in the middle of the water. The Captain wouldn't untie the dingy and move it. :-)
On the other hand, many of my friends and family aren't familiar with the concept of traveling somewhere without docks and relying on a dingy to take them to shore for a "wet" landing! So it sort of tells that story. I know I could use AI tools to remove the dingy, but I am trying to adhere to first principles of capturing what I see and not making a fiction unless it is meant to be an obvious fiction. |

Hi Lane,
Thanks for your comments. Can you help be understand where you think shadows should be added? This is a landscape image and what you see is what was there, meaning the lack or existence of shadows has to do the angle of the sun. I'm not sure what I'd add. |

Thanks for your comments Bruce. I agree that the red gas container in the skiff helps the image. If it wasn't there, I might not have been drawn to taking the photo. |

Hi Lane,
I like the softness of the water and the way it captures the colors of the sunset. The image, to my eye, seems to have too much weight on the left. I'm not sure whether a tighter crop around the boats would even out that weight. Or perhaps this is the look you were going for.
I love the rigging against the sky. Did you capture an image after the sun set behind the land? I find that the colors eventually come back after the sun sets, and then it's easy to avoid the overexposure of the sun.
Where was this? The location looks interesting. |

Hi Leo,
Your image conveys that this is a windy beach. Is that a pier or a road over the water? I like the way it draws my eye to the horizon.
I am thinking that a bit of a crop and deepening some of the colors might bring out the sunset more. What do you think? |

Hi Bruce,
I think the background is complementary to the heron. It doesn't bother me. I am enjoying the detail in the bird, especially the eye.
Have you run into this heron before? It looks as if he is posing for you!! Nice job. |

Hi Harley,
Your "reframe" also removed that distracting stump under the tail. Bringing the Flicker higher from the bottom makes a huge difference. I like the colors of the background. That and the blur sets off the bird nicely. Good use of Generative AI tools.

Mark,
What an atmospheric image. You would not have captured this if you hadn't fallen behind!!! Falling behind is a technique my husband uses to get the right framing for a shot, so I think your age is working to your advantage here.
Nice leading line with the road. Imagine what it is like to live here. Fog is likely a constant companion. Nice job. |

Hi Andrew,
What a stunning image! Your choice to use sepia really makes this photo a story. You were lucky to have a tourist hand posing at the right moment. The aged hand fits perfectly with the wood. Great job! |
