78 Dec 22 Comment Apologies Mitch, I wasn't clear in my last comment. My comment was more so directed at using the long black shadow as a graphic element within a mono composition. Dec 15th
78 Dec 22 Comment Apologies Jason, I wrote a comment on your photo a while back, but I must have forgotten to press Submit!
I do like this shot, but like Jim, I wasn't very keen on those bright spots either.
Although, I prefer your frame as I like the colour of the sunset sky, which matches up with the colour of the pattern on his sleeve. This colour draws the eye in a circular motion around your image.

78 Dec 22 Comment Thank you Stephen, Yes, I was in two minds whether to crop or not to crop. In the end, I decided to crop so that the boat and the island behind weren't both sitting in the middle of the image. It looked a little uncomfortable to me. Dec 13th
78 Dec 22 Comment I agree, I prefer the blur background too. Dec 13th
78 Dec 22 Comment I think you have worked this image enough Brenda.

The only comment I could make is one thing that draws my eye. There are two parts of the typewriter that are strong horizontals.
One is the horizontal at the front base of the typewriter.
The other horizontal is the black retaining bar that crosses over the keys.
To my eye, the horizontals look askew. They do not align and it makes the typewriter look a little twisted.

78 Dec 22 Comment Here is my edit.
I have reduced the orange in the sky and pepped up the flags that had dulled quite a bit.

78 Dec 22 Comment I love this shot Mitch. Congrats!
Mmmm, I do like your crop. I like the inclusion of the shadow which balances the black against the white (or yellowy) bears.
It crossed my mind it may work in mono. What do you think?

78 Dec 22 Comment Nice shot Terry! I love the buckets in a row, and that red against the black really makes them pop!
I agree with Sunil about removing the green and yellow objects. I would have liked to see just a little more greenery along the top and a little less of the stones at the base.

78 Dec 22 Comment I agree with you all about the colour. I will tone the colour down and see how it goes in competitions. Thanks all! Dec 10th
78 Dec 22 Comment Great shot Sunil. I have not had the opportunity to see this place in reality.
I am quite impressed by your frame. Featuring such an old building surrounded by the modern skyscrapers was brilliant! Great story!

78 Dec 22 Comment What an lovely capture! Your processing is beautifully executed, sharp with stunning colour etc. Congrats on eliminating the modern day 'give aways' in your crop!

One thought crossed my mind. As it is an old time photo, did you try it is sepia tones to mimic the old times?

78 Dec 22 Comment Lovely nostalgic capture Brenda. Brilliant making it in mono.
It is soo much more graphic. I also agree with Mitch, about removing the carpet line.
Nice work. Good luck in the comps!
