93 Oct 22 Comment This is a very interesting shot...rather mysterious!
Consider two ways of improving your already good photo:
If you wish to leave it in color, consider playing with saturation and color sliders in Camera Raw. Do you have NIK collection in your s/w options. Dawn has some very good ideas, this month, in her photo of Grand Canyon.
Then, to add to your story of the window, consider transitioning this to B/W! You already have great texture in the wood and shingles. B/W will bring out the mesh fencing on the deck. Perhaps little children lived there...or visited. Someone was guarding against a fall down the steep hill! This shot has all kinds of potential.

93 Oct 22 Comment Great use of wide angle and f/29. I see no noticeable camera movement. What are we looking at in the foreground? Had there been a pier there, before? Is there a story there?
There is another great bridge shot on your club website...Stephanie Ames!

93 Oct 22 Comment Great capture of the clouds and rain! The effects of B/W on clouds is always impressive. FWIW, I wish you had brought out the shadows, the mountains this side of the rain, but you have highlighted the stars of the show...the clouds and rain! Well done Oct 6th
93 Oct 22 Reply This is an excellent "how to" tutorial. It will take me a while to try and fully appreciate your techniques, but this is very useful. Oct 6th
93 Oct 22 Comment Very creative! Great use of the B/W mask. The clouds in your originals are nice but not nearly as powerful as when you converted them to B/W. The plants on the left, and the pole on the right do not strengthen your image( in my view)...but I imagine their removal would have been arduous. I like this a lot.

93 Oct 22 Comment The image of Horseshoe Bend, from last month, was extraordinary. This one is even better!! You are on a roll! I'm glad you mentioned HDR. Did you use any "Sharpen or Denoise" filters, before the HDR merge? Please tell us more about your dodge/burn process. Oct 2nd
