14 Oct 24 Reply Thank you, Karen, I took this on a table at home, found the shell on a walk, and did quite a few experiments to get the set-up right. Interesting hobby we share, always something to experiment with. Thank you tom Oct 24th
14 Oct 24 Reply Hi Ingrid, thank you for your comments, the saturation is a bit heavy and could do with a bit of toning down. Distance too cameras around 6 inches I recall. But it was on a table at home not at the beach, so not as uncomfortable as appears :) Oct 24th
14 Oct 24 Reply Hi Erin, thank you for your comments, as you and others have suggested I need to clone in the missing section Oct 24th
14 Oct 24 Reply Hi Darcy, thank you for those comments. The opening inside the shell is just the shell being damaged, missing section. I actually liked that being there as it gave an extra element but as others have posted it may be better to clone it out altogether. The multiplier basically they are relatively cheap they go in between the lens and the camera it's just an extension. There's no optics involved. They change the multiplication factor and they come in different size is typically 1.4 and 2 times, you can stack them together to provide larger multiplication factor. The number of images is pure guest work and depending on F stops, obviously wide open a lot less in Focus, you're going to need quite a few more shots on a image then if you would have say F 8 or F 11 wider focus area few shots are needed. I hope that makes some degree of sense probably not thanks for the comments Tom Oct 24th
14 Oct 24 Reply Thank you Greg, I Do like both your suggestions Oct 16th
14 Oct 24 Comment Hi Kamal, I do like this image, the placement of the nets in the frame works well with the tonal graduating of the water improving the look of the image. No suggestion from me I find it a very pleasing image Oct 16th
14 Oct 24 Comment Hi Erin
The choice to go B&W works well. The depth of field chosen gives a softness to the forground and background, as a suggestion, I would try a blur applied as a gradient drawing trying to feature the centre sharper section. With the suggestion of increasing the contrast also being worthwhile to try. Well seen and captured.

14 Oct 24 Comment Hi Greg,
Beautiful colourful environmental portraits, your decision to post as a triptych works well. Background is handled well in all images. My only criticism is the cutting off the top of the head dress. Other than that great capture from what I imagine would have been a great event with plenty of opportunities

14 Oct 24 Comment Hi Darcy,definitely brought a smile when I first saw it. Well seen and captured, the low sun angle illuminating the side of the machinery adds to the attraction of the image. Oct 16th
14 Oct 24 Comment Hi Karen,
Nice thought to try something different, both images work well with my preference being the B&W which you have converted very well together with other post work improving the image. My only critique is the part of the building on the right side, it detached from the symmetry, not sure if removing in post will work well but might be worth a try. Nice capture

14 Oct 24 Comment Hi Ingrid,
Beautiful environmental nature shot, colour and patterns on the bird come through very well with the misty background adding to the story. Your post work works well to enhance the image, overall a very beautiful image.
