Thank you.
This was hand held. I'm not aware of a tripod head for iPhone which would allow such rotation (like a lens collar would do on a conventional camera). I did take many images to get one I liked. At least we're not wasting film. |

Absolutely! I tend to try to include compete subjects (and also center them!) - but I've been told repeatedly that not doing that can make for more compelling images. Well done. |

Old/weathered wood is a great subject. Nice/sharp image. To my eye - the brown colors look a bit "over processed" (only you know what they really looked like!) - since you say you didn't edit the image much - perhaps this is what the phone does. iPhone images have lots of "pop" - perhaps that's what Apple thinks we want. Nobody really knows what the pixels captured (since this isn't a raw image) - only how the Apple software processed it. |

Nice image - at first glance reminiscent of the globe at the entrance to Epcot in Florida. I like the ripples in the water and the reflections. The details on the right along the horizon don't bother me - perhaps because they are small. Part of my brain wishes you included the entire structure, so we could completely see the left side. Others may think the cropped view adds interest - since our imagination can complete the sphere. I have never been to that part of the world . . . |

Hi Jack - agree the moss covered blocks make this image! They create interest and a path to the temple. I played with B&W (leaving the green alone) - but that didn't look good - since the subtle colors in the rocks/temple add interest and a sense of realism/age. One suggestion if you were to edit this further - is to darken the foreground a bit (right now it's the brightest part of the image and keep pulling my gaze down) and brighten the center. |

I like the color palette; the flower pops nicely against the greenery behind. Agree you needed to crop in, since most of the original was not very interesting. Agree with Jack that the resolution remaining after the crop is not enough to yield a sharp image (some would say it's ok for social media, etc.), I'm amazed by the detail remaining - after was I estimate was a crop leaving <4% of the original image. Even the original you present - I suspect was cropped a bit due to the non-standard aspect ratio. |

I love your image - I had not considered what you suggest, but it makes perfect sense and would guarantee that tack sharp center. Next time I'll carry a tripod (argh) and experiment with your approach. Thank you! You may have interest in my image in Group 86 (similar image of Coleus - taken with Slow Shutter app on iPhone). |

I've never been to that area - sounds interesting. Realistic image. I like how you framed it - no need to include the whole wheel - our brains can complete the circle. Upper left corner is too bright/distraction - could tone it down. Might try to bring a more texture/light to the foreground wheel. Also - this image is already almost monochrome (the only significant color is green) - could experiment with B&W which may add to the mood and timelessness. |

The purple/green combination works for me! Nicely blurred background. Agree the dew droplets make the image. To my eye - it's sharp - but not tack sharp; which likely would have required a macro lens. Do you think the black bug adds or detracts from the image? I'm not sure? |

You took the original - which looks to me like an old snapshot from someone's album - and created something much more appealing. The water is the most interesting part of the image to me. I like that the exposure capture both some suspended/frozen spray - and also the sense of motion. Was this a cell phone image? |

I've never tied a lightning trigger - you did a great job capturing the lightning. Where were you located? Do you get rained on when you try to capture such images? Your poem adds so much emotion/interest. The monochrome works! Well done. |

Nice action spot - glad you weren't injured - sounds like you were pretty close to these guys. I like the brown color theme throughout - and yet the sheep still "pop." I wish the ram's nose wasn't blocking part of the animal behind (the animals clearly were not listening to your instructions!). Image is sharp. If I was going to edit this - I might work on the horns (to give them a bit more texture/sharpness) and also the eyes. The eyes are great - nice reflection of the light source behind you - perfect! I'd try to work on the brown color around the pupil and perhaps sharpen the pupil. Of course nature photographers would frown upon such edits - but I find they enhance the image (if subtle!). |
