I think I get it Tam. You came across a flower that was past its prime and its texture, color and composition caused you to see parts of an abstract, what I believe is a work of art and you were the only person in the world to capture it. And here is my version of what you saw, you just needed to complete the "look". I used your original image, opened it in Topaz in my favorite look of "expressionism" as it combines color and textures. Please excuse me if I have fallen overboard. |

This is very well done Judy. I have lots of images, but nothing like this. Just to think about the idea of converting a series of railings into an abstract is beyond my abilities. Very well done at that. |

Very well done Stephan. What a talent you have to visualize such a work of art and be able to instruct your model (understand wife could be easier or more difficult) how you want the final image to look like. Guests on Bora Bora are very fortunate to have such a creative and quality photographer to capture their special vacation. |

Larry, I just have to go from memory and guess because I cannot determine the angle. My tripod was probably fully extended and that puts the camera to just under 6'. I'm 6'1" and don't like to spend my time bending over. I did crop off a couple of inches (approx 20%) from the bottom of the image. I'm thinking I was 20-25' away from the tree. Hopefully that gives you information you were looking for. Thanks for the good words.

Wow, what 50 years of photography has given us. I last tried to photograph those spiders when I was in the keys in 1970/71. Imagine no auto focus, no high ISO etc etc. and no slides kept. I think your DOF is adequate, although I would also would of tried f11 as film is cheap. Great composition. I used Luminar 4.1's erase tool at size of 55, made 1 pass and this is what resulted. Maybe if you used a bigger erase brush size that would of eliminated the shadow that resulted when you tried it. I used clone tool over the erasure to improve things as well as the dodge tool on the spider. Don't be offended, I need the practice also with mm post processing and did it quickly. Luminar also has a plugin for LR, but I don't use LR or PS. |

Great job Karen. Beautiful detailed tree stump, a textbook non distracting background, and a tack sharp beautiful heron. You were so fortunate to be given this photo opportunity and you took advantage of every offered. |

Great job Bob on composition, DOF, and exposure. Just goes to show those "Sunny" rules work very well. I don't have a problem with the corners not being dark. I think you used white Vignette after seeing the dark vignette's didn't add significantly. |

Thanks for your positive words Judy. I had not planned on attending the MAC meeting this Saturday in Silver Spring MD. I also do not see anything about a competition on their schedule. It's a 2 hour drive and I currently having difficulty driving and my wife refuses to to drive on any of the beltways around DC. I think I'll save it for NECCC in July. |

Okay. Spent a short time using Luminar eraser and clone tool to take away the tree branches in lower right. Look better and not artificial, I think. On to next month. |

A great street scene Gary. You captured the moment for sure. Sax playing, people just walking by and no one paying attention to the man on the bench. The bottom of his shoes seem to indicate that those are not his church going best. Interesting show spots from shade are all over but not on the bench sleeper. When I'm walking around looking for an image, I pump up my ISO to 400 just to prevent that slow shutter speed. Better to have noise than a blurry image. I do not note any blur in your image. The sepia toning works. Good seeing. |

Well LuAnn I guess you put those long winters to good use and stepped into the world of creativity. I really like it. I've done some flat bubble mix while still in the frame but not the round bubbles. You got great saturation in the colors and was able to make a fantastic BW bubble with even a leading line bringing my eye into the image. Nice whites and blacks and yellow tone just fine on my computer.
A minor suggestion is I probably would of cropped out half of the black on the top since we don't have to deal with printable aspects here. |

Oliver, Oliver. No tripod with you. Could of used it as a walking stick. You proved that you really didn't need it, ¼ sec gave you beautiful streaking water and because of all of the bumps and layers in this falls I believe it looks better than the 1 sec + that would of come with the tripod. Composition is excellent as you included the falls source up around the corner. |

Yet another excellent natural light portrait by Israel. Beautiful light and exposure. The background is non distracting with small exception of clothing article in corner. I think I would darken that item some so that it didn't draw my eye to it. Not sure if I would of gone Mono with this image as I love the colors in the original, but the Mono still is beautiful. |
