26 Nov 25 Reply Thanks Jose! I am waiting for the next X-ray control tomorrow! Nov 26th
26 Nov 25 Comment Hi Terry! It is a special treat to get to admire two fine museum engine images this month, Bob's resting in the evening light and yours in action full of power, both facing the viewer. I think that the crossing rails in the foreground not only lead the viewer into the image but also add an element of tension: which one will the engine choose? - I think, too, that slight cropping from the top might add impact? Nov 26th
26 Nov 25 Comment Hi Mark, and welcome! I think that the way the smoke trails show the route of the fighter into the image give it a great impact and feel of explosive speed. I wonder if it might be possible to open the shadows a little bit to show some more detail in her belly? - I like Terry's idea of the square crop, too.

26 Nov 25 Comment Hi Tony! I vote for the black-and-white version with the fine graphic lines. I think, too, that it may benefit with more contrast, and I really love the depth that Arabella's vignette gives to the image. Nov 25th
26 Nov 25 Comment Hi Bob, "Old Zephyr" really has a worthy portrait here. I think that the composition is perfect with just enough background to anchor her in the milieu. The tracks that lead to the frontal view of the engine are very effective, and the enhanced sky and the touch of warmth in the general lighting reallymake the image special. Nov 25th
26 Nov 25 Comment Hi Jose, what a beautiful study in symmetry, detail and color! I especially admire the highlights in the pipes that accentuate the vertical structures and, I think, give a special lighting for the whole image. HDR really shows its worth! - Just a tip: when I first looked at the image I did not notice that I was holding my iPad upside down, and the image transformed to an entrance to a temple or palace in a sci-fi fantasy, so if you feel playful, you might try to flip it vertically. Nov 23rd
26 Nov 25 Comment Hi Arabella! I love the idea, too! As Bob and Jose say, it would give an extra level to the image if one could be able to recognize the bike traffic in the background. As it is, it makes a fine texture in fantastic colors that I think also works very well. It does not bother me that you don't show the whole biker, it is like he is entering into the image now. I wonder what effect flipping the image horizontally would have? Nov 23rd

54 Nov 25 Comment Hi Peggy! I think that the heron has a mythic, almost metallic appearance with the lovely colors that are repeated in softer hues in the background. As lovely as the moon is, I tend to join Brad in thinking about its role. I think that the the bird over the waves escaping from the image might also work beautifully. Nov 23rd

54 Nov 25 Comment Hi Matt! My first thought was to look for the Jetsons to step out of the circular vehichles. I love the cinematic color scheme with the color contrast, and the motion blur effect works a treat! Nov 22nd
54 Nov 25 Comment Hi Alan! I get totally absorbed into the solemn mood of the ceremony: I can hear the echo of the slow footsteps on the initiates on the stone. I so admire the way every aspect seamlessly contributes to the final image, from the strict symmetry and faultless perspective of the arches to the soft folds of the gowns of the druids to the pale colors and cool light. Nov 22nd
54 Nov 25 Comment Hi Brad! I think that the criss-crossing lines of the background texture that vary in thickness and intensity create an incredible endless three-dimensional universe. The contrast of the electric blue of the surfers against the black-and-white network is compelling.- I think that the clear-cut edges of the frame strenghten the feeling of enter and exit sites for the system. I have spent a lot of time watching their movement. Nov 22nd
