Agree - I'm amazed that sometimes I'll travel with my Canon "big boy" camera and iPhone - only to return home to find that my favorite images were taken with the iPhone. Not sure what the future holds . . . |

My initial reaction was - "what is that flying object" . . . closer study reveals the legs/wings and answers my question. I see the artistic vibe; for me I'd rather have more detail/color/sharpness. |

Since you provided the explanation - not sure I can really answer what would I have thought it was if there was no explanation; can't "unsee" the explanation. I supposed that if I spent some time with the image I would have seen an older man turning a crank - and someone else (a younger person) - gazing into the device. I would have thought it was some kind of early moving picture . . . but as to which variety - I would not have known. I like images that make us think. |

Nice/sharp image. Your explanation helped me understand it! Without your explanation - I would have been curious - but not figured out what I was looking at. Regarding the composition - I think it would have been better to leave a bit more "breathing room" above the device. I like that the structure has similar color palette as the cobblestone street. |

I like the lush green grass - the horses really "pop" against that background. A very peaceful, pastoral scene. Image has nice depth; so many layers. Sharp image! Agree with not flipping it; no need. |

I enjoy your vineyard images - such a picturesque setting! Agree that this image captures a nice sky above (and low hanging clouds (or haze) in the valley). I like the grapes being thrown into the container - and also the concentration on the other person's face as he inspects the fruit. The parallel vines appearing to converge at infinity create a nice sense of depth. A good reminder that the wine we take for granted - requires a lot of manual labor to harvest/produce. |

Thank you - the example is helpful. Agree with Jennifer that the main is a bit too close to the edge. Of course all this could be fixed with AI/generative expansion of the image . . . but that opens a whole different can or worms.

agree with the comments above. The blurred flowers work; if they were tack sharp they'd distract from the image and pull my gaze away from the candle. The candle has interesting colors/patterns. |

tx Chan. I'm not sure I follow your suggested crop. Can you show us an example of what you're thinking about? |

Thanks Dale . . . I also wonder about the knife. I didn't set this image up or give it thought - just enjoyed the scene and had my iPhone in my shirt pocket. If I were to set this up in the future - agree it's worth considering silverware vs. not? And if yes - which pieces, how much of them, where, etc. |

WOW - I'd say you first attempt was a success. How did you plan the shot/location? I have zero experience with this type of photography - hopefully others can add more. The foreground elements add a lot (I wish there was something more interesting that the tree top)! |

You did a good job guiding my gaze to the main subject. The combination of shallow DOF and vignette work well! I agree with Jennifer's comment that the flower may not be tack sharp. Might experiment with a composition that does not center the main subject. There appear to be some debris/droplets on the petals that I find a little distracting. Could consider B&W; not sure how important are the subtle colors in this image. |

This image has so much to look at - and it makes me think - which is great and what a good photo should do. Who are they? Why are there no guests? Who is the officiant? Is the storm a harbinger of things ahead? I played with the composition - but couldn't improve it - the subjects are relatively small - but other things are important - so I didn't come up with a better crop. I think the lighting is pretty dim/flat - perhaps that's the vibe you want. I tried to slightly darken the periphery and brighten the subject. What so you think? |

Thanks Cindy. I'm also usually not usually adventurous with food . . . glad I tried this; my son was with me - perhaps he was my motivation/strength. |

Tough to photograph these tiny/fast birds! I like the wing blur and sharp body/eyes. In your processing - you brightened the image - making it very high key. To my eye - the hummingbird gets a little lost against the bright background. You also brightened the branch; losing most of its detail/texture. In the attached image - I started with your edited version - darkened the branch and also the background. What do you think? |
