32 Nov 21 Comment Hi Stephen, Covid Memorial looks very emotional. U.S. Corona death toll nears 800K. Turkey is 7th and 70K deaths as of today. My wife and I've been fully vaccinated ie 3 doses. God bless our countries and the world. I hope for the best in 2022.

Regarding processing: There's a noisy sky and minor re-adjustments needed for highlights e.g. tonal width & radius.

Thanks for sharing.

74 Nov 21 Comment Hi Dick, it's definitely an extraordinary shot & processing; nevertheless, I agree with Arne that you cropped a lot e.g. full or 3/4 of leaf would enhance the beauty of spider web. Well-done, thanks for sharing. Nov 7th

74 Nov 21 Comment Hi Tracy, -frankly speaking- I prefer color photos of nature to accent the vivid colors of rivers, trees, grass, animals etc e.g. the sea is unseen and unnoticed in bnw copy. Regarding your processing: Because of color transitions, -with different level of tones- clouds are much more detailed and strong in color version so converting to bnw should have given us the same feeling i.e. increasing mid-tone contrast, adding gradient and details e.g. Don's work coincides with what I suggested. Thanks for sharing. Nov 7th
74 Nov 21 Reply Thanks for your comment and re-processing Dick. Nov 7th
74 Nov 21 Reply Hi Don, use a selection tool in PS to trace around the subject you want to remove. I use Polygonal Lasso Tool. Then, use (Edit > Fill > Content-Aware) to automatically fill the selection of the subject with other parts of the image.

74 Nov 21 Comment Hi Arne, that's a good idea to photograph old buildings to support a project. Next generations will thank you. I'm going to start mine soon about -old / traditional- "Barbershops of Anatolia."

I understand that your target was to boost Bakom building and you've succeeded. I also agree with Haru and enjoyed his re-edited version. Nevertheless, your style of processing is my first choice. Meanwhile, color version is sharper.

Regarding exif; I'm not so familiar with medium format Fuji cameras and its large sensor, settings etc; but I would select f9 and above on my Canon camera.

I wish you success in your new project ie "Carrying Bergen's present into the future."

74 Nov 21 Comment Hi Haru, I normally prefer nature photos in color and yours is a masterpiece; but bnw conversion also looks impressive; well-done, congrats. Thanks for sharing. Nov 3rd
74 Nov 21 Comment Hi Don, I wish you a happy birthday and the gift your wife gave was an amazing one. I do not want to evaluate your PS processing that I really enjoyed shades of gray tones, overall sharpness and contrast value. I just want to ask why you've chosen f20, did you also shoot at a lower aperture eg f16 or below? Thanks for sharing. Nov 2nd
74 Nov 21 Reply Yeah, even if I've had 3 doses of vaccine, have been wearing mask continuously since early last year. It's not an accessory anymore; but a must! You're absolutely right, masks affect facial expressions e.g. do not allow lip reading and it's impossible to read eye movements if he/she wears dark lens sunglasses. I did not crop; but removed unnecessary stuff. Thanks Don. Nov 2nd
