I agree, Murphy. We see that in our own club. Our judges and commentators evaluate submitted images on their own devices and when we all see the images in our monthly meeting, the commentators' comments are occasionally completely off the mark. It's a challenge. |

Thanks, Peter. If I crop up from the bottom, the water will have a place to go, so I'll take that another vote for cropping. Not sure where you're seeing a brown tone as I processed it as a neutral graytone. That might be your monitor. |

Thanks, Ed. You (and Murphy) are probably right about the foreground. I also agree with everyone about the twig. |

Thanks, Charles. I went back and forth about that branch as it kind of appealed to me at the time. I'm think I'm in a minority of one and should rethink that. |

Hi Charles,
I really like this. As the others have mentioned, the angle of view works well here. Your skillful processing is exactly right for the scene. Well done! |

Hi Nenette, I can't add anything to the comments already made. This is a marvelous portrait, well timed and beautifully processed. |

My wife and I got the chance to spend a couple of days there two years ago. The opportunities for B&W photography are endless. The starkness of this image is absolutely wonderful. I especially like how the white sand interacts with the overcast sky as a backdrop for these two yuccas. |

Murphy,
I like the composition and the processing as is.
Sorry you didn't get a second chance but hopefully it got into the hands of someone who could give it the love and restoration it deserves. |

Peter,
Spiral staircases make for such compelling images and this is an excellent example of why. I love the angle from which you made this creating a classic golden mean type composition. The processing is exactly right and I really like that you allowed the top of the staircase to blow out - it creates a sense of the staircase going up to eternity. I hope you get a chance to print this. |

Hi Ed,
My first reaction was a feeling of being overwhelmed by the busyness of the scene. I then started paying attention to the details of the image and finding all kinds of interesting interactions among the subjects. I like it far more than I expected to and that, for me at least, makes for a successful photo. |

Not much I can add to what the others have said, Steve. Wonderful composition. Bruges is on my list of places to return to. |

Emil,
Wonderful composition. I do agree about brightening the swan. Otherwise I like it a lot. |

Hi Charles,
The location and composition with the rider is spot on here.
My own aesthetic is more along the lines of what Emil did, but I also really like the delicacy of your approach. |

Thanks, Emil. I've managed to find all kinds of interesting patterns doing this, but this particular image is unique. |

Thanks, Arik. I've managed to stave off the temptation to get into drones, but I can see the appeal. At least there's no park service around to prohibit these kinds of shots. |

Hi Charles,
I doubt the window was terribly clean, but I pretty much shoot wide open which blurs out any debris clinging to it. That, combined with IR's innate ability to cut through makes this kind of shooting very satisfying. |

Hi Jack,
I like your version and I like Palli's version (Hi Palli!) though I think I'd settle on something in between. More contrast and a vignette would do wonders to an already wonderful image. |

Arik,
The composition is excellent; the clouds are beautifully processed. I might have brought down the whites in the fields a bit, but I do like the contrast with the bison. I also like the darker foreground grass as a framing element. I, too, would love to know where this is. |

You caught an interesting moment, Melanie. There's nothing about this photo that screams IR, but I'm guessing the converted sensor was able to capture more dynamic range in the interior than a conventional one would. Your processing was right on the money for this subject. Well done! |
