1 Jun 21 Reply I hope it's pollen. At first, I thought it was ant poison. Jun 2nd
1 Jun 21 Comment Wow, what a great image! I know how difficult it is to get a good shot of an ant with the eyes in focus - especially since they are constantly moving around and never seem to sit still for a photo. Nicely cropped and post-processed. Jun 1st

45 Jun 21 Reply Thank you, Bai! I keep vacillating between the two orientations of the ant. Currently, I prefer the original perspective, looking up at the ant. It is more unusual because it's uncommon to look up at an ant. Jun 29th
45 Jun 21 Reply Thank you, Phyllis!

45 Jun 21 Reply Thanks, Cindy. I like the cropped version better as well, but I'm not sure which rotated version I prefer. In some ways, I like the perspective looking up at the ant. Jun 10th
45 Jun 21 Reply Thanks, Charlie. Version 2 is almost like a completely different picture. Jun 3rd
45 Jun 21 Comment This image has a wonderful composition with the leading lines pointing to the lit building in the background, and the lit building being placed ~1/3 from the right. Although you missed the sunset, you can still increase the brightness of the sky and reflection using Lightroom's graduated filter. I took the liberty to apply it to the sky and reflection to bring out some brightness (I also adjusted the color temperature and tint a little. I'm sure you can do a much better job with the raw file. Jun 2nd
45 Jun 21 Comment What a photogenic flower...reminds me of a milkweed with its delicate white fluff. The upper flower is the winner, and the image might have been more powerful with only that one flower. You might try cropping the image to a square format and clone out the lower flower in Photoshop. I took a stab at it and made some adjustments in Lightroom as well, but it's still a little rough. Jun 2nd
45 Jun 21 Reply Thanks for the suggestion, Don. I made the ant larger by cropping out the peony leaf from the picture. And, without it, I thought maybe the picture would look better rotated 90 degrees to the left. Jun 1st
45 Jun 21 Comment What a creative image! Who would have thought that dropping a strawberry in water would have thrown up so much water. Or, perhaps the strawberry was poured out with some water? I like how all the drops are so separated. And, I like your idea of using a large tray to hold the water. Well done! Jun 1st
45 Jun 21 Comment A very peaceful image evoking a sense of calmness and serenity. You captured the lovely sunset very well and brought out the foreground nicely. My only comment would be that there appears to be too much unnecessary information on the left side of the image. The leading lines point to the rather uninteresting tree and take my attention away from the main subjects - the steeple and and lovely sky. Perhaps cropping the left side of the image up to the end of the wall and fixing the perspective would enhance the image by creating a frame for the main subjects. Jun 1st
45 Jun 21 Comment Another beautiful still life! Simple, yet elegant. A well-thought-out composition with the carrots enveloping the onion and tomato; especially with part of the leaves falling off the table and the dark vignette keeping one's interest on the objects. Putting the white onion in the center draws one attention to the middle of the image, and using a yellow onion wouldn't have been as effective both color-wise and compositionally. The curved front of the table also frames the composition nicely. And, the glass surface adds an interesting reflection. Well done! Jun 1st
