79	Apr 20	Comment	Wow, this is fun science and photography at the same time. It reminds me of the perseverance some of my older friends take with crystal photography through a microscope. Or water droplets. How fast would something have to move to be invisible to the human eye? See: https://www.visiondirect.co.uk/blog/how-fast-can-we-see Freezing the action of an orange breaking and juice flying; or an egg dropping or wine spilling...or something going into a deep fat fryer...this suggests all kinds of possibilities!

79	Apr 20	Comment	Wonderful background idea - at first glance I wondered if it was a purchased digital background. Take note of the edge of your image, and where the highlighted points in the background intersect - there is some effect that might be considered fringing. I would definitely "prune" the flowers back where they go out of the frame. I am not a fan of digital borders - and on my monitor the color is not ideal - even if it is the color of the leaves. I'd experiment with different color or none at all.	Apr 18th
79	Apr 20	Comment	Take some time to smell the roses~!! I like the message in this image too. Actually this rose reminds me of ones I had growing up they were climbing up to the bedroom window. If you were to work on post-processing, I would tone down the leaf on the left and darken the burgundy on the bottom. Nice, sharp capture and I do want to smell it!	Apr 18th
79	Apr 20	Comment	I think if you wanted grunge, you got it. Personally I really like the images without that filter; particularly Original 2. So this could be several image interpretations. You have a great landscape there. Perhaps giving it some time (like several months of quarantine) when that is over will give you a different perspective? I just think the colors are wonderful in Original 2 and too dark in your final image. You have lost the bluish green and the light on the dust storm.	Apr 18th
79	Apr 20	Comment	The lines on the left give a sense of motion. I too have been distracted from the dirty window effect. I would like to see this image with more contrast, and some de-haze; not too much but enough so that it doesn't seem like it is overexposed yet still seen through a window. I don't understand the title; solidarity means "unity or agreement of feeling or action, especially among individuals with a common interest; mutual support within a group". This photo has more to do with being not solid = hollow, vapor, gaseous if taken literally; or the opposite of solidarity which is disenfranchised, discord, disagreement. The photo has a lack of unity; so is the title sarcastic or ironic?	Apr 18th
79	Apr 20	Comment	I love th title. It took me a while to figure out the pigeon pins things...and the saturation definitely brings out the details, including the pipe going inside the larger one - it reminds me of a clarinet. If you were to print this, I'd go with a shiny paper!	Apr 18th
79	Apr 20	Reply	Hi Judith, I knew you would get it. You have to think a little harder about those jars. They are homemade, canned vegetables. Goes back to the times of The Depression, and my mother taught me to save everything - when things were scarce, and fresh veggies more precious. I thought they were a nice contrast to the peppers.	Apr 18th
79	Apr 20	Reply	This was done a bit tongue in cheek. Of course the jars are pickled carrots and cauliflower - which is quarantine are a symbol of the need to conserve. I did have fun composing the still life. The coronavirus started my practice now of literally washing my vegetables. Although I admit the spray bottle has bleach in it and I didn't use that for the peppers. I think monochrome was a choice because the quarantine is so serious; otherwise the colors in this were like a summer day.	Apr 12th
