Thank you for your suggestion, Piers. Is this something like you had in mind? |

Stanley, this is another great image. I love the all blue look to the image.
I am always intrigued as to how you manage to photograph your dancers in such a way that their faces are always "tack sharp" and yet their arms and veils are blured giving that wonderful sense of movement. Maybe the stillness of the head is an inherent discipline within Chinese dancing. I have much to learn.
I love it!

I love Triptychs. They are great for telling a larger story than a single image does.
Karen, your story is simple; the slow deterioration of the tulips in the vase until finally two petals fall from a bloom, marking the end of the story.
Well done. Nicely photographed images and well put together.
I am always amazed at some photographers ingenuity!

Shirley, this is a great image as you were obviously under great time restraints and restricted to a quick image through the bus window with your phone.
You have done well in removing the reflections in the window, although there is still one up towards the top left hand corner of the image, in the sky near the left hand chimney.
Maybe a little "Dehaze" might remove the slight surreal look that the image has. But that is in the eye of the beholder.
Your final image has a slight green cast to it from the bus window. While you are in photoshop or Lightroom try adding a little Magenta to counteract this.
I am a purist and so I will not get involved in the Ai in photography discussion. *laughs*

Piers, I love the bird in the foreground. It is tack sharp and nicely exposed. I am guessing that the camera settings you have given us resulted in a depth of field of about 600mm (2 feet) which was not tight enough to isolate all the birds immediately behind the front bird.
You did your best in a very busy, clustered situation.
Regarding the PSA Nature definition (which is probably the same or very nearly the same as the FIAP definition). I wonder how a judge might interpret the allowable adjustments on your image where it states "Global and selective adjustments such as brightness, hue, saturation and contrast to restore the appearance of the original scene."
My interpretation of this statement is that you might be allowed to change the "brightness" of the birds behind the front bird to create some separation. Maybe, maybe not!

This is a very bright and busy image. I feel that it is oversaturated, so much so, that the colours look unnatural.
My eye wanders a little bit, from the solid upturned boat to the sun set and back again.
Maybe allow a little extra space on the left hand side of the image, so the boat is not so close to the edge.
I am not a great fan of drop in skies, particularly if you let Photoshop select it for you. The masking of the trees on the right hand side of the image needs some extra work, as the bright sunset reverts back to your original sky behind them.
An interesting and colourful image. Well done

Hi Julie. I am sure the Cockies up north would say the land this year is as dry as a dead dingo's donger (An Australian coloquialism).
I admire their confidence by dry seed planting and then hoping for the annual rains to come. There is not a cloud in the sky to offer a glimmer of hope!
A great photo showing the plight of the man on the land with dust from the harrows behind the tractor and the tumble weeds blown up against the fence in your original photo.
Life on the land can be heart breaking!
Well done

This is an image that brings memories of a bygone era. The weathered building and the vintage vehicles give a strong sense of Americana. This is a nicely composed image with the vehicles advertising the fact that this is most likely a museum. A nicely balanced and softly lit image that has a certain quiet, old timey feel about it.
Nicely done

A nice bright image showing a "gaggle" of tourists all trying to photograph the penguins before their tour guide moves them on to the next destination.
Although the timber walkway creates a leading line towards the penguins, the bright colours of the tourists clothing somewhat overshadows the point of focus which is the penguins.
An interesting photo all the same!

This is a great depiction of everyday life in rural Ethiopia. The road is shared by vehicles, a boy on a bicycle herding his cows and two donkeys.... and there is more happening in the background. There is plenty of action and a view of real life in this part of the world
Well done

I love this image Cisco. I prefer the coloured version and I like the stool in the forground. So I'd leave it in the image.
The colours are muted and I like all the feet and arms.
It is tack sharp and compositionally I like the vertical lines of the dresses and diagonal line formed by the bases on which the mannequins are standing.
Yes, "Rebuilding Bodies" but you seem to have a couple of arms left over, Mate! *laughs*
Well done!
