Hi Darcy, that works well, the eye is drawn immediately to the subject. |

Hi Kamal,
This is a very interesting story to accompany the image, and I'm sure it was a significant moment for you. The memorial itself is quite an intriguing structure, and your choice of perspective works well. The vibrancy of the colors and the contrasting whites of the background structure really give strength to the image.
Thanks for sharing. |

Hi Erin,
I can see why you were drawn to this image-there's plenty of detail to appreciate. However, I do think the power lines are a bit distracting and more prominent than necessary. I agree with Greg: if you're comfortable using Photoshop or Lightroom, I would suggest removing the power lines.
With such a vast foreground, you might want to experiment with a gradient from dark to light starting at the bottom. This could help draw the viewer's eye toward the structures and make them more prominent. I also love the fence in the foreground; it adds a lot of interest to the composition.
Thanks for sharing! |

Hi Greg,
I really like how you processed this image. The separation of the background, achieved by using a mostly monochrome effect and a slight blur, puts more emphasis on the central action. The texture and detail in the main areas draw the viewer's attention.
I'm sure the cowboy was very happy to receive this image, a very nice thought.

Hi Darcy,
Lovely flowers-great choice to use selective focusing, as it really brings out more detail in the blooms. As a suggestion, to make the front two flowers stand out even more, you could try selecting everything else in the image and reducing the brightness and perhaps the saturation. This would give the front two flowers even greater prominence. To my eye, the front two just aren't strong enough yet, especially with the bright areas in the background competing for attention.
Mother Nature definitely provides a beautiful color palette, especially with these irises. |

Hi Karen,
This is a well-composed image. The park bench leads the viewer's eye along the shorefront to the structure, which is nicely framed by the lake and the overhanging trees. I agree with the comment about the softness or flatness of the image, which may be due to the shallow depth of field.
As a suggestion, you could try making two selections-one of the park bench and one of the building structure. Perhaps apply a slight increase in sharpness and luminosity, especially to the structure, to draw more attention to the central subject. I'm not sure how well this will work, but it could be worth experimenting with.

Hi Ingrid,
I really love the barns featured in America. We don't see these designs in Australia, and from my travels, they seem to be unique to America-though I'm no expert.
I agree with Greg's comments about the horizon line being in the centre, and your adjustments have addressed that nicely. The sky and the field work very well in this image. One suggestion: both barns appear to have similar visual strength in the photo. You might experiment with toning down the luminosity or colours of the back barn to give more prominence to the front barn. I'm not sure how well this will work given their proximity, but it could be worth trying to see the effect.
Once again, I'm seriously impressed with your ability to capture photos so quickly. Thanks for sharing!
Tom
