Thank you, Paul. I just noticed that the title of my image is incorrect. It should have been, "Urban Nightscape." |

Welcome to our group, Paul! This is a great picture. I agree with your cropping of the image, not only because it results in a more dynamic composition, but also because you can details in the dancer's face. Your exposure kept the dancer's skin from having blown-out highlights. Very well done! |

Thank you, Cindy. I wasn't sure about the small light on the left. Of course, I added the glow in the light. But, now that I look at the image with fresh eyes, it does appear to be a little distracting. |

Thank you, Robert. Yes, you're right about the building on the left blending in with the sky. I'll try to lighten the building a little. |

I like how you eliminated everything except the bridge itself turning the image into an abstract image. I would have preferred a black and white image though. Maybe something like this. |

Your focus, perspective and composition captured this magnificent scene beautifully. My only suggestion might be to try adding a vignette to bring attention to the front lion statue. |

Thank you, Barbara. The pureness of the white flower called for a pure black background. |

Thank you, Denise. I was attracted to the pureness of the white flower. No blemishes! And, I tried to ensure that I didn't blow out the highlights. |

Thanks, Dick. I rarely shoot magnolia flowers because I can never seem to find a nice specimen that is within reach. They seem to decay so quickly. I was quite fortunate to find this one at eye level although it was a little windy. |

It's an honor to have you in our group, Denise! Even before reading your bio, I could tell from you photo that you're no newbie. It's obvious you have so much creative energy to go with your years of experience. I think your crop is fine, but there is no right or wrong, just personal taste. The sharp, in-focus flower contrasts nicely with the beautifully blurred background. |

This is such a unique looking plant that I had to look it up. My search shows it's a Drummond woodsorrel - a plant native to the U.S. I've never seen one before. I like the way you captured it with dew drops. So many interesting patterns. Good eye and excellent composition. |

Beautiful! I've never seen such beautiful rose hips. The ones I see are typically a dull red. And you captured them so perfectly. You make it sound so simple to get such a shot by using a "200-macro lens with a polarizer on a tripod." But you're not telling us your real secret! :-) |

I can appreciate the art of wabi-sabi in photography, especially in flower photography because the beauty of flowers is so impermanent and degrades so quickly. You captured a good example of wabi sabi with this sunflower with all its fine, wrinkled details. Actually, I prefer your original image because it has more details in the stem, and my preference is a black background in this case. I would also suggest adding some brightness to the dark center to bring out some detail. Excellent work! |

What a gorgeous specimen that you captured so perfectly, Barbara! The radiant design of the petals makes the image explode. All the petals are so clean, perfectly shaped, and in such sharp focus. I love this image! |
