43 Jan 21 Comment Thanks for your comments Harley. I always have a black piece of craft foam (from Michael's Stores $1.00) in my bag. It is easy to maneuver and makes a nice block for a busy background. Jan 21st
43 Jan 21 Comment Great capture Maitham. You caught the peak of the action. I love the swirl of drops around this guy as he baths in the water. The fact that he is sharply in focus brings all the attention to the bird and the water drops imply the motion of the bath. Nice work. Jan 13th
43 Jan 21 Comment Thanks for sharing Harley, the pandemic has made being a grandpa less fun. I too miss seeing the kids--video chat is just OK and no substitute for being there. At least with the vaccine there is light at the end of the tunnel. Jan 12th

43 Jan 21 Comment What a happy shot Harley, those two guys are having one fun time. I really like the Mono treatment and appreciate the bit of grain in the image giving it, in my opinion, that street vibe. I like the edit Linda make, but wonder if you could somehow "touch up" the motion blur on the shoes? None the less, your image made me feel happy. Jan 11th

43 Jan 21 Comment Well Mark, for all your troubles you have captured, in my opinion, one great image. Getting proper exposure for a shot like this without a studio setup must be very difficult. You have properly exposed the man's face by using the reflection from his hands. Of course, the beam of light focusing on your subject is wonderful and leads our eye right to the main event. I love the concentration on his face as he works. I think your composition is spot on and like how we can just barely see the stump he is using as a table.
I have made a few adjustments, I hope you don't mind. I removed the stray spot of light under his chair, brightened the ray of light highlighting the man and darkened his hands and tool just a bit since they are somewhat overexposed (no big deal). Most importantly I added a border to your wonderful image. I feel this gives it a sense of place and contains the eye from wandering. Let me know what you think.

43 Jan 21 Comment I like your perspective here Alex. The symmetry of the fields split by the dirt road leading us to a group of trees pointing towards the foreboding sky tells a nice story. I feel the stark emptiness of the image works well given the approaching storm. I also think your balance and composition is good. You might consider cloning out the black item (tractor?) on the left as it is somewhat of a distraction. Jan 5th
43 Jan 21 Comment What a beautiful landscape Lane. I think this has it all. You have foreground, mid and background elements that blend together quite well. I feel the leading line of trees taking my eye to the burst of sun is perfectly offset by the flock of birds soaring on the right. Nice balance and in my opinion the color harmony is so soft and gentle it gives off a sense of peace and tranquility. Jan 5th
43 Jan 21 Reply Thanks for your comment Linda, I'll give your suggestion a try. Jan 4th
43 Jan 21 Comment I really like the high key look of your image Linda. I think your decision to flip was spot on and I feel the mirror image in the water completes the total look of your shot. I am not at all bothered by any softness as that is exactly what is called for in your image and you have executed this well.
I don't really think you need that branch on the left though to tell your story. This would be perfect for a note card.
