Lance: Thank you for your reply. I do like your interpretation of the image. Images like this are something I loved to look for years ago when I was working with B&W film with my own darkroom. An old building, an abandoned rail road track, old pasture fences, all held my attention. I find that I have sometimes lost the ability to see these things as I concentrate on more sweeping venues. |

Jennifer: I REALY like this image. The focus is right on and picks up the varying textures of the fence posts, wire, brush, grass and dirt. The plain sky with just a hint of thin clouds adds to the overall sense of quiet abandonment.
Well composed. |

Dale: Nice image well done. These birds are my year round companions here in central Florida. It is not at all uncommon for me to have to stop my car on the road in my community for a pair, or four to stroll slowly across the road. They are so used to contact with people that they feel that they are the ones in control. |

Steven: Once again you have displayed a great degree of creativity. I am not sure I would have ever thought of using holiday lights and a glass pitcher turned upside down to create a photographic image. My first thought was the use of a crystal or kaleidoscope. Well done. |

Very nice example of the light painting approach. It wind gives the entire image a great sense of motion which adds to the interest and impact of the image. |

Judy: Thank you for taking the time to comment on my image. I did, but perhaps could have done more, adjust both the white and black points in LrC. Another great way to do this that I have found through others is to edit in Ps by going to Image, Adjust, Selective color and use the drop down menu to adjust the white, mid-tone and black. |

Henry: Thank you for pushing me to improve my work. Your comments lead me to yesterday purchase Topaz Denoise while it is on sale. I tried it with amazing results. It will now be added to my normal processing work flow as an LrC "Edit in" option. |

Henry: This is a very good image with a great deal of interesting features.
When I decided to go back to IR after a much earlier experience, my interest was in B&W, therefore I chose a conversion with an 830nm filter which captures only the IR spectrum. This means I have no experience processing images with a combination of IR and visible (to the human eye) light spectrums. That being said I have the following question. Can the color of the trees be changed? I ask this because as I look at the image the very nice natural looking sky tends to draw my attention away from the main object. I am left wondering if a brighter, not natural color for the trees would help to balance the color weight at the middle and lower portion of the photo? The orange/brown seems a little drab. Never the less, an impressive image. |

Gary: Very nice image. Some might say it lacks an interesting sky, but I tend to think such a sky would only vie for attention and draw away from the graphic nature of the image. Good processing. |

Henry: Thank you for taking the time to consider my image and make helpful comments. Your crop suggestion is certainly a valid alternate vision for the image. As I stated, this is a plant that has refused to stay in it's pot, but now has a stalk of at least a foot and is "crawling" along the shelf of our plant stand. My intent in the crop is to place the main portion of the new growth slightly off center and include a small portion of the long stalk.
As for the noise in the photo, this concerned me also. When I look at the black portion of the image at 200% I see scattered noise with no distinct pattern. This is what I expect to see as noise. However the "noise" in the petals of the plant has a distinctive pattern that I have never noticed in noise of other images. This has caused me to wonder whether it really is noise, or the naturally accruing texture pattern of the plant. Perhaps others, Including Lisa will help with their comments.
Your comments are always appreciated. |
