39 Sep 22 Comment This is an interesting image that draws the viewer right into the interior of the chapel. If you had stood a little further to the right you might have been able to show the interior wall on the left. I think the white door distracts from seeing the interior and I would darken it.

39 Sep 22 Comment This is a very nice, well-composed, and interesting image. The crop helped focus the viewer's attention. Is the person on the far left part of the show? I keep looking at him/her and wondering. The only suggestion I have is to darken the 2 people on the right. As for the open window on the far right, you could crop it out or fill it with bricks and see if you like the change - it didn't bother me until I read the comments above. Sep 7th
39 Sep 22 Comment Your color version looks like a painting, but most pictures I have taken with my iPhone look over-sharpened and very 'un-painted.' Your b&w version is good but I agree with the others about the square format. Amazing what you can do with a phone! Sep 6th
39 Sep 22 Comment Your b&w version really grabs the viewer's attention. One wonders who this girl is and why is she so sad. I prefer the black background as it simplifies and strengthens the emotional impact. The white border works well. My only suggestion is that next time shoot from a lower position so that you are not looking down at the child.

39 Sep 22 Comment Your b&w version is very strong and better than any of the originals. The light and texture of the buildings is beautiful. I would like to see the powerline on the right removed. Since the tracks are not an important part of the image you could crop them off or clone them out. Sep 6th
39 Sep 22 Comment I definitely prefer the black and white image - it is a very strong image. On my computer display, the buildings seem a little fuzzy, and slightly out of focus, especially the tile roof on the middle building. Perhaps you could run it through a sharpener such as Topaz AI and see if that helps. The buildings are exciting but the sky isn't. Maybe you could add a cloud or two in Photoshop.
Overall this is strong work!

39 Sep 22 Reply Thanks, Jerry. This trip was a trip out to the fjord to see icebergs, not whales. We were fortunate to see this group, and they turned and swam right to our small boat, out of curiosity I guess. It was a wonderful experience just to see and hear them, and I was very lucky to get a few good images of the whales.
And no, I have never used Camera Raw for editing except for a few corrections (optics, geometry).
