Thanks Judy. I received the announcements but the location was out of our local daylight driving area.
Understand Nubble Light is a beautiful place, but I was just down the road and went virtually every sunset and did go to every sunrise/sunset if even there was none. The weather can negate good pics on many days. |

Thanks Gunter. I was capturing the reflections in the puddles on the rock. I hate to crop down on the sky. If I find the time I might try to swap skies as Stephan suggested or take some of the dark sky off the image. |

Old is still fine with me. Looks like this is somewhat of a dessert location and the rains brought out these beautiful colors against the dark rocks and very nice sky. Judy, the only thing I would change is "Flip Horizontal" as I believe the flow of the yellow-violet-dark rocks and sky makes for a better composition that you couldn't of done on location. What do you think? |

Very nice image Stephan. I Love the star filter effects from the bridges and street lights and the violet colors on the bridge. The blue hour lighting the mountains in the distance works well also. Hopefully we'll see other photos in the future. |

Thanks Karen. Speaking as a News Englander there is no comparison other than both in Maine. I also got some pics of Portland Head without dynamic light and clouds. Maybe another month I'll put one up. |

Thanks Stephan for your comments. Well heck yes, I sat and tried all sorts of shutter speeds. This was after the sailboat passed. 0.6 sec is pretty slow. I didn't want to smooth everything flat. Oh Yes, skies changed, not sure I can swap the skies but maybe I'll find time if we get some rainy days. Was this the water effect you were looking for?

Hi Gunter. I like your idea of showing the feeling and moodiness of the scene. A great composition to separate the two bridges and to show the reflections of the trees. the rolling green hills add to the image. I do wonder if the stone, board or soil right near the grass in the pond foreground be cropped out as it is may not be adding to the story. |

Hi Tim. Your image certainly tells the story from the kids point of view. the Dad is well composed and exposed. I like the way you captured the Dads intensity and face without showing those throw away type images that happen when people are singing. The backdrops line up with your "minor stages" description and except for showing a little more of the stage at the bottom of the image. |

Hi Ron. Welcome to DD29. I look forward to seeing more images. I like the history and the fact that you image as 3 piers in different stages of destruction. Your use of the ND and composite gives great toning and color to the incoming waves. One point that I do find is that the wooden pier, closest, aligns with the far pier. A higher or lower camera position might result in separation between the horizontal pieces of the two piers. |

Nice sharp image of the moose. Perhaps you are going to use the image in PSA or club nature category, but if not, I have a few minor points. Some kind of board or straight edge showing in the bottom right. Someone might say the ear on the left is too close to the top edge. Wish I had a shot this close of a big wild animal. |

Perfect, in my mind, not too dark or too bright. |

That puts the image more in context. You were both stuck with each other. I get it, we are still in partial lockdown ourselves. My wife just wants to spend time in her garden. I do find that the cropped image with the screen pattern interesting and love the exposure on his eyes. |

Well done Israel. A perfect use of silhouettes and the light coming thru the doorway leads my eye into the back of the image. The floor (stone) patterns are also a nice bonus and the jagged edges of the roof line give a hint as to the age of the structure. |

Thanks Bunny. Yes, I checked the web to try to narrow down the year of the truck and that's the way the trucks were all labeled. To this day GMC refers to themselves as a truck company but some people thought it best to remove the truck part off the name. The Museum only has about 400 vehicles. Since I shoot multiples of many images and then submit to multiple clubs as well as PSA, I use the last 3 or 4 numbers from the unique filename that my camera generates to narrow down to the specific image submitted. As a matter of fact, PSA requires any image entered into competition to have a "Unique" and not a bland descriptive name unless you are prepared to never use such a bland name again. |

Bunny, I have to state that I'm not a big fan of the screen pattern on your husbands face, and the cropped image showing just his forehead down to his nose may be interesting but not for a portrait of your favorite love one, but then again maybe he loves it. |

Leah, I like your image as oriented in the original but do not have any problem with your re-orientation. I'm thinking that a tonal rendering in between your submitted BW image and Bunny's would be just perfect. Open up the blacks and lighten up the white's and grays. Great seeing to find this beauty. |

A beautiful image Emil. I really like the natural light from the window and the simplification of the scene to hilite the desk and chair and the texture you pulled from the wood inside the window and the wood on the wall behind the chair.

LuAnn, there you go again. More diversification. That's the mark of an excellent photographer. I really like the texture you captured and the exposure is right on. I do feel that Bunny's edit promotes the strong leading line of the subject. Well Done. |

Pete, you had me fooled. My first look at the image I didn't see anything out of order with the seagull. Well done. I Luv the details in the underside of the gull, but wondered if the wings would be lite so well without bright water beneath it. I wonder how it would look if the gull was back towards the brightest part of the water. |
