39 Mar 20 Comment Paul,
I am not in your Group ( I am in Group 93) but as I was perusing other Groups, I came across your "Hosta". It is excellent...proper focus, proper exposure. That said, please click to my image at Group 93, and advise how I can make my Aloe a better B/W image...please.

93 Mar 20 Comment Very clever...thank you Mar 26th
93 Mar 20 Reply Dan, without wanting to be a bother, I ask if you could you spend a few lines detailing how you removed the ripples from the water (time exposure), then merging another image with different shutter speed to get this great effect. Could you be more specific than what you offered in your description, above. Thanks Mar 18th
93 Mar 20 Comment Wow...I am flattered! Many thanks Mar 13th
93 Mar 20 Reply If you go to my image in Group 93, you'll see I have a dilemma. Please see Dan's comments and my reply. Thanks Mar 5th
93 Mar 20 Reply I love the comments...but I'm confused. David was distracted by the cactus in "top left". You agreed with him him then said the "top right" cactus was the distraction!! Help! I'm experimenting with the image, but I need clarification. Thanks! Mar 5th
93 Mar 20 Reply I'm glad you noticed that! Some things are just better in B/W Mar 5th
93 Mar 20 Reply Who's permission do you seek...who do I ask? We get to Surprise, AZ sparingly, but I will use your ideas. Thanks Mar 5th
93 Mar 20 Reply Excellent! Thank you for your critique and "title" comments. I will set up a separate folder for these Group 93 images. Mar 4th
93 Mar 20 Reply I do not mind, at all. Very useful suggestion regarding the crop...thanks Mar 4th
93 Mar 20 Reply I agree...regretfully it was Not cropped. I missed it when taking the shot...and thanks for your comments. Mar 3rd
93 Mar 20 Comment Jean,
Your image is good, and Michael made it even better. Wonderful color and detail.

93 Mar 20 Comment Darcy, please consider reducing the highlights and raising the shadows. The water plants in lower left are unnecessary to the beauty of your image ( if you can remove them without much bother. ) Do you use "Content Aware" fill? Mar 1st
93 Mar 20 Comment Jerry, please take this with a grain salt...the rainbow is perfect, but the canyon beneath could benefit from exposure and dehaze adjustments. Please consider "selected area" exposure reduction, then dehaze in same area. I use NIK Collection for that sort of surgery! Hope that helps Mar 1st
93 Mar 20 Comment I am attracted, first to the colors in the image, then the reflections...love the reflections. I wish the shack had not been in the center of the frame. Mar 1st
93 Mar 20 Comment Dan, your image is wonderful, and I'm even more impressed with the Post process techniques you used...multiple f-stops, and shutter speeds, and how to remove texture on water surface. Impressive! Mar 1st
