45 Feb 24 Reply I like your idea of a vignette, but I think it is a little too strong. Maybe something like this works for me. Feb 28th
45 Feb 24 Comment This is a beautiful nighttime image. I think it can be improved with more contrast. As is, it's a little too flat. Feb 6th
45 Feb 24 Comment Hi, Charlie. I'm not sure what you intended the viewer to see. Maybe it's the houses at the top of the hill with the slanted landscape. But, there is too much foreground. Maybe if you cropped out the lower half of the image, it might show more of what you intended. Feb 6th
45 Feb 24 Comment I like this image even with the leaf, but I would suggest maybe toning it down a little. I would also suggest de-saturating the brown tint in the white water lily petals and especially in the reflection. Feb 6th
45 Feb 24 Comment A very pleasant historical image of a gunpowder mill. The early morning sun adds a nice warm tone that contrasts nicely with the frost. Beautifully captured! Feb 6th
45 Feb 24 Comment Nice experimentation with motion blur! I'm not crazy about the ragged borders as it doesn't seem relevant to the image. Feb 6th
45 Feb 24 Comment My first reaction to this image is that it is a silhouette of a cyclist, then I see the cathedral and an old structure nicely framed by the trees and I get a little confused about what the subject is. With the cathedral and old structure in focus and the cyclist out of focus, the cyclist seems to be an intrusion rather than the main subject. Although I like the cyclist, I'm not thrilled with his extended back. I was wondering what the image would look like if it were cropped to a square with the buildings' perspective corrected? I tried it, but not totally happy with the result. Feb 6th
45 Feb 24 Reply Thank you, Robert. When I first took the picture, I envisioned having the bins with old LPs showing as well. But, I couldn't get the composition to work. So, I went with a tight crop of just the records. I like the way the remaining streaks of light connect with the colorful circles which is more easily seen in a small thumbnail or when viewed from a distance. Feb 5th

61 Feb 24 Reply Thank you, Ingrid. And, yes, I'm very familiar with Kathleen Clemons. I've probably seen all her videos and always look at her dahlia images for inspiration. I even bought some Lensbaby lenses because of her although I've yet to produce any decent images with them. Feb 18th
61 Feb 24 Comment This is such a simple, yet powerful image. Maybe it's because it has only bold colors (reds and greens) with the reds in the center due to the effective cropping. The reds are nicely saturated with a subtle glow. If I were to make any suggestions, it would be to darken the stem in the center and upper center where it is a lighter yellow-green color. Feb 10th
61 Feb 24 Comment A very pleasant image with a simple arrangement of colors. I like the one flower at the top separated from the rest having the bug on it. My only suggestion would be to clone out the one, small out-of-focus flower on the middle right and the small petal next to it. Feb 6th
61 Feb 24 Comment Another exquisite flower image. Your post processing of the background and addition of a frame complements the flower perfectly! What a great idea to use blur the heck out of flower to create the background, thus, keeping the same colors. Feb 6th
