2 Jan 22 Reply Thank you, Bev. I shudder to think what Matthew might have been thinking at that moment. There is a very complex mind inside that head! Jan 17th

2 Jan 22 Reply Thanks Jim. You have a good point about the back of the chair. It was mentioned to me by a Club member some months ago, but I never got around to removing it. Jan 14th
2 Jan 22 Comment This is a simple and effective image. I would reduce the amount of sky as suggested by Piers and allow a little more space on the right hand side of the image, so that the piece of equipment is not so close to the edge. Jan 9th
2 Jan 22 Comment I like this photo, Hung. I like the Autumn colours of the trees and in particular, I like the way the roadway "snakes" diagonally across the image. It leads the eye through the image. Well done Jan 6th
2 Jan 22 Comment I think your treatment of this image is excellent. You have made the vertical lines of the building vertical and you have added an interesting sky. The conversion to monochrome is an excellent choice (your original image was halfway there).
However, I can imagine one of our Club judges saying that "the image is a good record" of this building.
I am not sure how to overcome this, but I can only suggest that you somehow try and make it more "arty." Maybe by cropping out some of it and not presenting the whole building.

2 Jan 22 Comment A lovely image, Piers, but I must admit that I had to search around a little bit to find the boy.
Maybe a serious crop would help, removing everything apart from the boy and some of the tulips and even exclude the background completely. Then decide what the focus of the image is! Is it the boy or the tulips? If it is the boy then maybe desaturate much of the colour from the tulips so that he stands out.

2 Jan 22 Comment This is a nice bright image.
The dead branch in the front is very cold and needs to be warmed up and brightened to help match the rest of the image. In Lightroom, I would use the brush tool with a sample of the bright yellow from the Aspens to lightly brush it to warm it.
I agree with Shirley that the linear gradient tool may work to reduce/remove the rapid transition from the light to the dark area.
The first time I saw Aspens in Canada, I was amazed how vivid they were. It makes it hard to create a photograph when you have areas of shadows like you have.
