It looks a bit scary Stephen, how tall is it? I can imagine, crossing in windy / stormy weather may be nerve-wracking. Your photo needs a bit more contrast. I hope you had a restful holiday and enjoyed time with your family. Thanks for sharing. |

I know and in normal conditions, you're definitely right; but she was an old lady taking care of her extremely old hubby and I was unable to change my loc... This shot was an unexpected bonus and I did my best fast:) Thanks Angela, your comment is really constructive. |

Thanks David, yes, narrow aperture is a different story and depends what you want to see. But, you're absolutely right and as we have limits -one pic monthly- here, I post more photos on IG at different settings. Thanks for your comment. |

Answer is easy: Sharpness is the name of the game when photographing the moon:) Thanks for your detailed explanation Angela. |

Astro & Milkway photography is already in my agenda; but there's a problem to find a dark area in my city and because of light pollution, I have to drive hundreds of miles to find a rural area and it's not safe to travel alone! I know today, some compact cameras -smartphones as well- have "Moon Scene Mode." Regarding your exif values, you could increase aperture to 11 and up. You didn't mention ISO, but I guess it is minimum. As Haru also said, original version with stars shows us the real power of the picture and catches viewers' attention. Thanks for sharing Angela. |

World is changing! I remember similar grain silos fom my childhood. Most of them are now natural studios for filmmakers etc. Countries have enough money prefer to import ready-to-use items from China and spend money for technology investments, defence industry. Anyway, your work is very modest Arne; but giving us a feeling of silence and loneliness. I agree with Haru about sharpness, but I'm sure there are focused points as it's not easy to see them on flat surfaces. Well-done, thanks for sharing. |

I prefer nature photography in color; the vibrant beauty and layers of color affect me very much. I do however love the mystery in bnw imagery. I'm not sure, -for the landscapes in bnw- must we really present the original color version? It's good to see people wear facemask and keep social distance. About exif, could you advise on focus points? And aperture 11 and up, ISO 100-200 which in my opinion could give a sharper result. But, you said this's a cellphone -probably auto- shot so thanks for sharing Bill. It's really a breathtaking amazing park.

Oh no, I enjoyed your comment Haru:) Different comments, feedbacks are always welcome so I can continue to improve my skills every day. Giving and having critique help both sides to reach upper levels so I read all comments carefully if there is any improvement I need for the future shoots. On the other hand; I'm a very emotional, empathic and non-judgemental photographer. And I believe, lack of emotional connection with people, place etc cause unsuccessful results. Thanks Haru. |

Yes, Stephen brought a different constructive perspective. But frankly speaking, I wish to convey emotion and feeling in my photos to make a stronger connection with viewers. Besides, during the process of editing; I remember the smell of history, our conversation with people and natural light level on vintage street. Old lady was only a model to strengthen the historical view of area. Thanks for your comment Haru. |

I look forward to meeting you in Turkey Stephen. Thanks very much for your efforts to edit my photo again. It looks brighter than mine:) Surely, every photographer has his / her own photographic eye, shooting angles, editing styles, different photography criterias and monitor adjustments. Giving critique is a skill and having critique on both the technical and artistic aspects of the photograph always encourage photographer to improve his skills. Thanks Stephen. |

Coronavirus has tainted city life and millions are already fleeing metropolitan areas for a quiter and safer life.
With your photo, I find myself jealous of self-isolating countryside life. Meanwhile, I saw some rusted farm machineries which are so interesting for me. You could enhance the contrast a bit and I will appreciate if you could kindly advise us about your camera settings e.g. aperture. Thanks for sharing David.

Definitely a beautiful flower Haru. Normally, I like nature in color but bnw here is exceptional. Background is dark enough, but reddish tones of flower(s) should have been enhanced while you were converting to bnw. Petal details are not very obvious. Regarding general tonal values; highlights could be dimmed down a bit more, midtones and shadows seem ok. Thanks for sharing. |
