This Mill is far from home . . .Not sure I'll ever get back. I love your idea of taking two images (one color and the other IR) and trying to blend them. I'll definitely try that in the future! Thank you. |

Hi Gene - what a gorgeous organ. The windows and ceiling provide context for the size of the organ's pipes. Although sometimes it can add creative interest, in this case I find the distortion (with the windows tilting in) a bit distracting. I understand it's how the iPhone would have captured the scene. Not sure how much of that (if any) would be possible to correct in post-processing. |

I find this an intriguing image - it wasn't obvious to me what it is. At first I thought about something under a microscope - then I recognized the leaf. I like the juxtaposition of the cool colors of the ice - and the warm/golden leaf; literally suspended. The surrounding small crystals are reminiscent of stars in space. Very creative image! |

Thanks Jack - I agree with all your points. This iPhone has a hot spot with IR filter - in the case it was on the barn. I tried to tone it downing post - but not enough. I need to pay more attention when taking the picture to darken it - so that there is enough detail in the area of the hot spot. |

Definitely reminded me of the Oculus in NYC; well worth a visit if you are ever in the Big Apple. I love the lines on the pavement - when first looked at the image - I thought they were a crosswalk (somehow distorted by what you did). I then realized they are the light shining between the beams. How did you take the pano? I never think about doing vertical pano. Do you have another image of what the scene looks like with a single conventional shot? The lines above (and below) lead my gaze to the apartment buildings in the mid-ground. What part of the frame do you consider the main subject? |

Great idea to create a collage - bringing together Fall images. Well done! The composite is more engaging that any single frame! I like the different colors and textures of the season. As displayed - the viewer may not get the very different sizes of these subject - but overall the composition works and perhaps that element adds interest (at least I think about it). |

The reflection is great - so clear - the water is like a mirror. Lots of detail/interest in the clouds above (and reflected below). The tree lines above (and in the reflection) create leading lines to the bright center. I tried editing it to bring out more detail in the tress - or alternatively to darken them to silhouette - neither looked better than your image. I then tried a high-key B&W - which gets rid of detail in the trees . . . not sure it it's better or worse than your image. I like the blue sky in your original, which gets lost in the mono version. |

Ruth - great red colors pop against the blue sky! I like your processing. Regarding the composition - I wonder it if would look more appealing if you captured a wider shot; perhaps with the entire tree (sides of canopy and trunk/base)? I'm not familiar with that tree - are those Fall colors? Or is that the color of the tree year-round? |

Thank Jennifer - and kudos to you for snapping it both with your Olympus and phone! If I was going to hang one on my wall . . . I'd pick the composition with the full mountain - and nice line of sky across the top of the frame. Interested in what others think? Cell phone pictures are so amazing! |

Beautiful vista - agree Lance's edit gives it more depth/three dimensionality. Many interesting shades/textures of green. Part of me wishes you were able to include the mountain in the upper right; my eyes wander there and wonder what the rest of the scene looks like. The foreground boulder and wire fence are important parts of this image. |

Nice image - I like the color of the beak/eye - as they pop against the background. Is he (or she) standing on one leg? Nicely blurred background. interesting details in the feathers/stump. |

Nice image - definitely see the effects of time. Sorry your travels were altered by the war. A good friend of mine was in Rome, scheduled to fly to Tel Aviv the day after the initial attack. Had the attack happened 36 hours later - he would have been in the middle of a was zone with no easy way out. Glad he (and you) avoided what could have been an unpleasant/dangerous experience. Still a huge disappointment, given the time, planning and money involved in traveling there.
Definitely agree about the iPhone; I'm using it more for photography and starting to treat it like another camera that fits into my workflow (regularly downloading images into LR). I've been pleased with ability to edit to those files; both jpeg and RAW. And it's a pleasure to carry :) |

Beautiful scene - agree with Lance that you didn't over-process this. The colors are natural/peaceful. I confess that I would have never known there was a road there . . . it struck me as a path through the woods. If it is a paved road? - hard to tell where the pavement begins/ends. Well done! |

The crop is perfect. The heavy/black fence would have ruined the scene. You lit the subject nicely - and he's placed off to the side in deep thought. Nothing in the scene tells me where this garden is . . . giving it a serene quality - it could be anytime/anywhere. |

Agree with Cindy - love the clarity of the reflection - makes me stop and think about the scene - and ponder where the reflection starts. That draws my interest. The B&W works well! Interesting that the foreground trees are barren (are they dead?) while those further back have dense foliage.
