4 Dec 25 Comment Having been there with you and Issac, I find it interesting how you have interpreted this scene. Although we didn't have the best weather in all locations, we came back with a lot of great memories. The patterns in the sand is the center of interest in this scene. Overall it turned out very nicely. Dec 28th
4 Dec 25 Comment A very nice image. I noticed that you were able to avoid any edge mergers. That was perhaps the first thing I saw. The diagonal angle really makes this image. I give's a sense of movement. Your exposure is well done where you have captured detail in the sky and the interior of the building. Those yellow balls gives it the added pop. Dec 28th
4 Dec 25 Comment Hi Guy, I sat and studied this image for a few minutes before commenting. It took a while to see to see the "monster." I would offer these suggestions. First off, I think your image should be cropped at the top. That area is not adding to the scene. I would also suggest adding a heavy vignette to darken the edges and draw the viewer's attention to the monster. Dec 28th
4 Dec 25 Comment Normally I would object to a line going through the middle of a photograph but in this situation it works perfectly. The exposure and color balance are well done. Dec 28th
4 Dec 25 Comment Nice work Gary. It proves Ansel Adams expression, You don't take a photograph, you make it." The sweeping curves add motion to the image and the added moon fills that upper right corner nicely. The overall exposure and color is spot on.

44 Dec 25 Comment I really like how you placed the subject within the frame. The overall color scheme really suits the subject perfectly well. Dec 28th
44 Dec 25 Comment I too have an OM1 MKII and have found some bugs. I have been impressed with how well it performs but sometimes this old brain longs for the day of manual photography. Your Photoshop skills saved this image. It has a good overall range. I commend you for taking this photo. I may have kept driving. Dec 28th

86 Dec 25 Reply Thank you. I have been debating on whether or not to crop the top of the image. I appreciate your feedback. Dec 28th
86 Dec 25 Comment Amazing detail for having been shot through a bus window. It has good color and sharpness too. My only concern is the composition. I would like to see some of the right side cropped out Dec 28th
86 Dec 25 Comment Interesting image. I too like the idea of correcting the perspective. My only concern is that the car is tightly placed in the lower right corner. I played around with Snapseed expand and added some to the right side. (I'm sure Photoshop could do a better job. Some added pavement below the car would help somewhat. Using Snapseed I tried the Vintage look and it adds some nice effects. Dec 28th
86 Dec 25 Comment The color of this purple aster has been well rendered. Did you know that you smart phone can identify unknown plants?
I like the slight angle of the stem of the flower. I made two modifications. Added a vignette in Lightroom Mobile to darken the edges and make the flower pop. Also, using Lightroom Mobile masking, I selected the flower and added some contrast. Some added sharpening helped too. 		Dec 28th
86 Dec 25 Comment I'm sure this image had some emotional meaning of your trip. Sometimes we need to help nature with some post processing. I opened your image in Lightroom Mobile and played around with some presets and the Auto settings. There's a hidden feature called "Enhance". It analyzes the image and selects the sky, water, vegetation and foreground. By just playing around I added some pop to the image and I also cropped some of the trees in the foreground. It may not suit your style, but it does show the ability of the software. Dec 28th
86 Dec 25 Comment You did well. I have tried this with my big boy camera and haven't had much success. I would like to see the background on a diagonal. The horizontal lines appear too static. I don't think it's necessary to show the entire flag. Dec 28th
