4 Nov 25 Comment Magnificent!! What could have been an ordinary picture you have made it extraordinary. Your Photoshop skills paid off. I can visualize this image printed on a large canvas and hanging over the fireplace. Nov 15th
4 Nov 25 Comment Hey Erik, good composition. One can almost smell this image. However, you know me, I have to do some work on the image. First the partial wheel in the lower left corner bothers me. I cropped the image and then added a little vignette to darken the edges does a couple of things. It puts the supervisor in a stronger position and the vignette adds mood.
As far as the OM I MKII, I would have boosted the ISO so you wouldn't be shooting at 1/30 of a second 		Nov 15th
4 Nov 25 Comment Excellent choice for black and white. It brings out the texture and the overall mood of the image. My only suggestion would be to add a slight vignette to darken the edges for added impact. Nov 15th
4 Nov 25 Comment You have a very interesting composition. Having never been to France before my first reaction was that this was a composite photo. Personally, I would definitely remove the distracting elements. The changes were made using Lightroom Mobile on my iPhone. Yes, AI also removed the auto behind the fence. I Nov 15th
4 Nov 25 Comment Very nice composition. You have captured the mood of the early morning light. While others don't seem bothered by the post in the lower right, it really bothers me. It was the first thing that I noticed when I saw this image. I would consider cropping the image to reduce the amount of sky and eliminate the pesky post on the right side of the image. Nov 15th
4 Nov 25 Comment I really like the overall look. It seems that the image is slightly tilted to the left. My attention bounces between the castle and the foreground. It's just me but I would like to see more of the foreground. In my mind I would like to see more of it. I might reduce the amount of the sky too. The overall atmosphere has been nicely balanced and the image is sharp and well done. Nov 15th

86 Nov 25 Comment Very nice work. Even though the image doesn't feature a single, defined center of interest, it still provides a rich visual experience through its strong color and overall atmosphere. The interplay of tones and textures keeps the viewer engaged and encourages the eye to move around the frame. It actually reminds me of a photograph I made on a recent trip to Nassau, Bahamas-one I may share in the near future. Images like this show how effective a scene can be when mood and color take the lead. Nov 15th

86 Nov 25 Comment really like how the vertical format emphasizes the movement and texture of the clouds-it suits the scene perfectly. (And I appreciate this even more after my own mis-framed image this month!) The composition works very well overall. The placement of the trees is especially effective; they anchor the scene without overwhelming it, providing a strong visual balance and a natural entry point for the viewer's eye. Nov 15th
86 Nov 25 Comment A nice capture In a pleasing environment. The colors , contrast and subject look great. However, that vertical line in the foreground is distracting. I would have tried I slightly different angle that included the foreground cheese display since that is part of the overall story. Nov 15th
86 Nov 25 Comment You've captured a clean and straightforward record shot of the moon. While there isn't much to critique technically, the image could benefit from a more engaging composition. I encourage you to explore locations where you can incorporate a foreground element-such as a tree, building, or architectural detail-to add depth and visual interest. This approach provides viewers with a stronger primary subject while allowing the moon to serve as a complementary point of interest, ultimately creating a more dynamic and compelling overall scene.

86 Nov 25 Reply Wrong image. My bad Nov 15th
86 Nov 25 Reply I'm sorry. I sent you the wrong image. Please distribute Nov 15th
86 Nov 25 Comment Interesting and colorful image. The overall color and contrast has been well captured. I use Lightroom Mobile almost exclusively for my iPhone photos. One thing that I noticed was the bright area on the left side. A little bit of cropping and using Auto Geometry with a slight vignette to darken the edges creates a nice effect Nov 15th
