87 Oct 25 Reply See my reply to Steve above. Oct 15th
87 Oct 25 Reply If you put this in Ps or a similar editing program and overlay my crop with the Golden Spiral composition guideline, you will find that I have placed the wedding group in a power point position in the image. Oct 15th
87 Oct 25 Reply Here is my suggested crop. Oct 13th
87 Oct 25 Reply Thanks, Dale. Your comments are highly regarded by me. Yes, I agree that the molding at the top should be removed. A very easy step in Ps. Oct 12th
87 Oct 25 Comment Who said that cell phones don't have good cameras? This is a very interesting scene. With all that there is to see here, the wedding party is the subject. A viewer's eyes will most always move first to people in the image. Therefore, I believe a little simplification is in order. The portion of the image to the right of the large palm tree is a separate image. Try creating more of a vertical image by cropping in from the right side until you remove the large tree. Oct 10th
87 Oct 25 Comment Cindy. The first, and best advice I received when I was starting a photography business (way many years ago) was, "Never take advice from someone who has never done what you are trying to do." Therefore, don't listen to anything I have to say about this image, except when I say, "I like it."
No, I have never tried astrophotography. As a photographer, I believe you could make an even stronger image by creating a vertical by cropping in from the left. I feel the trees on the left add very little to the composition.		 Oct 10th
87 Oct 25 Comment Dale, I'm not one that believes that one must always follow the rules (suggestions) of composition, but for this image, I believe that moving the subject flower down and to the right would result in a more interesting image. I agree what the others have said. Oct 10th
87 Oct 25 Comment Steven, what a very nice food image. You make me hungry as I view it. Yes, I would eat it. I love all kinds of sea food. But, as much as I love the octopus image, it is the lemon that makes this image for me. Oct 10th
87 Oct 25 Comment Thank you for your comments. Your suggestions are well taken. Yes, I was using a 70 to 200mm lens set at f/4. I did a bit of straightening a thought I had everything plum. As for the flowers, I found that when I left them sharp, they competed with the candle to become the subject.
I fully agree. It is hard to finally say, "It is finished."		 Oct 10th
87 Oct 25 Reply I, also, considered removing the molding at the top left, but decided to leave it. Oct 10th
87 Oct 25 Comment I believe that this is a successful image. Your crop, the blurred background and the removal of the third bird draws attention to the subject birds. If this were my image, I might try cropping in even more by lowering the birds and bringing in the left side to remove the remaining leaf. Oct 10th
