4 Sep 22 Comment Hello Ian, my condolences on the passing of your Queen. A remarkable woman. I'm old enough to remember watching her coronation on black and white TV.

What a beautiful image. Everything was in your favor. I love the placement of the greens against the texture of the tree bark. Great exposure an color.

4 Sep 22 Comment Photographing antique automobiles is very challenging because of the variety of shapes and elements supporting the story. Although you produced a relatively technically perfect image, my eye is drawn to the bright brass object and all the other elements and shapes become a distraction. I hope you were able to try compositions focusing on the brass object. Sep 9th
4 Sep 22 Comment The clouds in this scene really make this image. Although the sky may be weak, the foreground and the clouds in the valley are the centers of attention. I would like to see an increase in saturation of the trees to make the image really pop. Sep 9th
4 Sep 22 Comment First of all, I wish to express my condolences on the passing of your Queen. She was a remarkable woman. I'm old enough to remember watching her coronation on black and white TV.
I absolutely love your composition. You captured outstanding details in this image. There's sufficient information and details in the interior to complete the visual story. The guitar in the window is the pimento in the olive so to speak. Great job.

4 Sep 22 Comment You have created an interesting image of a static display. You have created a smooth image with good detail throughout. One suggestion would be to use a polarizing filter to reduce or eliminate the reflections on the windows. Somehow Uncle Sam never called me to serve, I had friends and relatives who did. A cousin of mine was shot down in north Viet Nam and died a POW. There's an outstanding movie about the introduction of the helicopter in the Viet Nam war; We Were Soldiers, staring Mel Gibson. He played the part of Gen Hal Moore. Highly recommended. Sep 9th
4 Sep 22 Comment Nice Job Gary and congratulations on the grandson. I'll have to post some pictures of our Great Grandson.
Having some portrait experience, I would say that you've done an admirable job. The use of a fill flash was a good decision. You have done a good job with the background however the bright blanket in the lower left is somewhat of a distraction. That can be toned down in post. You might consider purchasing a set of collapsible reflectors and a diffuser; B & H has a five panel kit for less than $25.00.

44 Sep 22 Comment Your patience paid off. I've seen too many of these bad boys tossing tourists around like rag dolls. Good capture and good processing. Sep 29th
44 Sep 22 Comment I love it. The grunge look enhances age and rust. I'm not bothered by the intensity of the greens. Nice job. Sep 29th
44 Sep 22 Comment It's interesting how the various programs create HDR images. I have not been impressed with Neo. Although your image has a lot of impact and interest value I would prefer the foreground to be a bit brighter. Sep 29th
44 Sep 22 Comment An outstanding use of today's technology available to photographers. Excellent color and tonal range. One of my favorite places when I'm in New England. Sep 29th
44 Sep 22 Reply Thanks Tom. After I finished the image and sent it to Brad I was looking at the person in the background. I decided to go ahead and remove them. I was extremely lucky not to have a bunch of tourists around the sculpture. Sep 6th
