Thanks, Jaqueline, but I rather like the tree on the right as a border. Without it, the image feels cramped to me. I'm curious what others might think. Btw, Congratulations on your image being included in this month's showcase! |

Great shot, Martin! I can almost feel this young man's adrenaline. I like your revision to the image. I also like the Original 2 that is a closer view in the middle of the wave. I'll bet from the amount of photo you made, the photo opportunity felt very satisfying! |

What a great experience, Shirley! I know how exciting it is to see horses in the wild and in their own habitat. Having the right lens is always the risk when traveling to places like this. You just never know how close or how far away the animals might be. I love the composition of your image but do agree with the others that the dark horse on the left is distracting. I love Martin's cropped version. Nice capture at any rate! |

Piers, this is a great action shot. The stance of the sailers leaning back gives me the feeling of really moving along rather swiftly. I don't mind the muted colors surrounding the sails because I feel that the colorful sails really catch and hold my focus. Because the background is muted, I don't find it distracting. The image feels like mostly shades of grays with the brightly colored sails. I think it's great as is. |

Wow! What magnificent color in those Aspens. This is certainly a different take on viewing them. I've seen and really like the vertical slow in-camera motion that seems so common of Aspen images. This is really different so Bravo! I think I agree with Shirley in that if you crop more off the top, the yellow seems to jump out at you. As it is, the green and yellow seem to carry about the same size and weight. Perhaps that was your intention. Just a thought. |

Thank you, Shirley. This really is a magnificent setting and the morning I was there was just perfect. I see now and agree that I need to address the tree on the right. Since I'm just starting to do more landscapes, I just wasn't sure about the bridge and its angle. I am more a thinker then a creative type so I kept thinking that the bridge should be leading one into the image but to something special instead of just the trees. I have to keep viewing others' landscape images to get a better understanding of subject definition. |

Thanks so much, Piers, for your detailed remarks. I have seen other images of this bridge and none were quite as angled as mine, so I wasn't sure about it. I'm happy for the positive comments. The "weed" as you called it, is a Swamp Hibiscus which are very common in Florida around water and yes, I did try removing it to no avail. I managed to get some off the top and hoped that was enough to be less distracting. I see now that the tree on right definitely needs to be darkened. It's funny how one gets so intent on something, (in my case the Swamp Hibiscus and the angle of the bridge), that we miss the more obvious. |

Thank you, Jim, for your comments. I wasn't really sure about the angle of the bridge but from all accounts thus far, it seems to be a winner. |
