In hindsight I agree with you, Terri. The order in which the images are presented could have been better. Thank you for your suggestion.

A lovely nature image. I think this image offers a lot more than just a "bird on a stick" image. I like how you have caught the rain and I like the drops of water hanging on the ends of the grass.
The bird is in focus and sharp and there is a catch light in the bird's eye. You couldn't ask for anything more.
A lovely image, well done |

A nice photo, but when I first saw it I thought it was taken in an ice skating rink because of the coolness of the floor and background; until I saw the performers bare feet. So I agree with Terri's comment about the white balance. Warm it up and make it feel like Asia. |

Karen, this is a lovely image of a dahlia with a very soft and delicate appearance. The f/4 aperture has given it a nice depth of field, keeping the centre of the flower sharp while gently blurring the background. The lighting is beautifully soft and diffused, which gives a wonderful result bringing out the subtle colors and textures without harsh shadows.
Well done

Shirley, why not grab a friend and your camera with a long lens and both find a place in the park and snap away at the tourists.
Most places around the world have similar rules regarding street photography. It is legal to photograph people in public places provided it is not for commercial purposes. I have followed the American street photographer Bruce Gilden for a number of years, and although I do not like his "Hunting" style of street photography, the streets of New York are his domain.
So, it would appear, that no permission needs to be sort, nor are there any restriction on publishing images in the USA. But I stand to be corrected.

I put street photography in the same category as photojournalism, and you can't change reality. It must appear as it was, "in the moment."
This is just my narrow opinion.

Thanks for your suggestion Bev.
As a triptych, I agree I could have "cleaned" the images up a little.
As street photos they must remain unaltered.

Shirley, what a great image!
When I first glanced at it, I thought it must have been a modern day interpretation of Antoni Gaudi's architecture.
What an innovative photo, well spotted, and thank you for showing us how it was done.
I tend to agree with Jim's cropping, but I might crop it even further, to emphasize the architecture. I would rotate it slightly to make the vertical lines of the buildings vertical.
Like Karen, I noticed the "dust bunnies" in the sky. These are easy to remove
A wonderful image and well done.

Flowers are not my forte and so my comments might be way off.
I like the diagonal line the flowers make from the lower left to the upper right corner of the image.
I think the overall image could be lightened a little. The histogram, when viewed in Photoshop is weighted towards the left hand side.
Maybe try and separate the subject (the flowers) from the background in LightRoom or Photoshop, and darken the background then lighten the subject to make them "pop" a little bit. Clone out the unfurled flower on the left hand side and apply a slight vignette .... or as you have done, make it a square format as suggested by Shirley, which works for me.

Thanks Jim. This series of images was taken during what we call "Mad March." It is the time of the year when we have an Arts Festival, a Fringe Festival, numerous music festivals, three days of street car races in the city, and people come from interstate and overseas to enjoy the fun.
I had never seen this fellow before and I haven't seen him since, so I expect he was a visitor. He rode up on his bicycle, wandered around as if he was meeting someone and when they didn't show up he just rode off.
The whole encounter was over in about 5-10 minutes, during which time I took 30 - 40 photos of him.
There is a bit more information, above, in my reply to Karen.

Hi Karen,
I am pleased to say this image received a Top Merit in the Club competition.
When it comes to street photography, I am not a "Hunter" but more of a "Fisherman." I find a spot, I set up and I wait for people to pass through my field of view, then snap the shot. In this instance I was in my car in a hotel carpark across the street when this fellow rode up on his bicycle. He was agitated and I think he was hoping to meet someone. He was unaware that I was there with my long lens and camera.

I have messed with it a bit and added a point of interest, which I think you probably cloned out of your original.
*grinz*
I think the reflection of the trees needs to be darker than those on the river bank |

Hi Julie. A nice image taken out in the bush. Your final image seems to have a magenta cast over it compared to the original image. Did you put this on on purpose or is it just a querk of Photoshop? |
