33 May 20 Comment I really like the way that the rising steam ties together the cloudy sky and the water on the ground and all the geothermal activity underground. Your picture evoked in me a strong memory of the sulfur smell at Námafjall.
Did you consider burning out the people standing on the hill in the distance? I too really like the woman's red jacket.

48 May 20 Comment Clearly the edited picture is better. But, I tried to no avail to find a crop which didn't truncate birds. I understand and support the constraints on editing "nature photos", but they sure are frustrating.
Thanks for the clone edit!

48 May 20 Comment As in last month's picture, I love the rich textures on his face. And I also like the way his face was illuminated by light from different angles.
A personal nitpick, which could only be addressed in either capture or the picture's title, is that it wasn't until I read "About the Image" that I understood that the line in front of him was a rifle.

48 May 20 Comment I really like the variety of tones, and the creaky walls pushing out and leaning in. I visited Carcassone years ago and I don't remember it being that picturesque. Thank you, the picture evokes great memories!
Did you consider burning out or cropping out the folks at the far end of the path?

48 May 20 Reply I too was unhappy cutting the bird on the (left) edge. But unfortunately every vertical line in the image chops at least one bird.
I completely agree on the lack of sharpness. I need to learn a faster reaction to my camera settings (higher ISO or shutter speed, smaller aperture). At the time I relied on automatic ISO, and the camera chose shutter speed and aperture. If I'd at least have set shutter speed, the other 2 would have been adjusted automatically, though maybe not at optimal settings.
