Kieu-Hanh, Wow! Until I read your description I thought this was a model structure. What time of day/night did you take this? It almost looks like night with lights on it. It is sharp and colorful. The perspective you chose is interesting and intriguing. Did you take any from other angles that might give it some perspective? |

Joan, what a fun event to photograph. I like all the color and perspective. I think removing the iPhone was a good idea. I like the crop you chose but I also like the original that shows more balloons and people. Very nice! |

Robert, you are right...it does look like a praying mantis! I like the nectar drop with reflection and the sharpness of it as well as the red stamen(?) in the foreground. There is a nice bokeh to bring attention to the droplet. I find that the color in the background is a bit distracting so I tried to play with that a bit...mainly in an effort for me to explore/practice! So I selected that color and made it a layer mask. I then applied a color gradient. Not sure it works as it looks like too much purple but fun to try. Let me know your thoughts. |

Andres, well, you have mastered the art of composites! I took the PSA Intro to Photoshop too and it really helped me realize the potential! The angel sculpture works very well with the shattered glass background as the feathered wing on the right and the creases blend very nicely with the background. The bronze also works well as a contrast with the blue and blends nicely with the brown/tan of the concrete ledge. I think most of the battle with composites is picking the appropriate background with the subject and you have done that! Very nice image! What artistic filter did you use? |

Michael, I had to smile when I saw your photograph this month. I find that when I do street photography, I am drawn to people fixated on their phones rather than looking out the window, as in your photo, or interacting with others. I like the way the light falls across his arm/phone and puts the reflection on the table. This works well in monotone. The man's position also keeps him from any interaction. You have captured the story you wanted to convey very well. |

Ruth, what a great capture of your grandson in a daring venture with the tides! I like the motion of it with his one foot raised as the water rushes over the other. I prefer the original crop in that it gives more context with the sandy area on the bottom left and the rocks around him. I am sure he will be amused with this image in looking back at his childhood. Nice image. |

Vincent, I really enjoy viewing your images of dancers! I don't think you need the entire faces for this photo as the merge of the bodies with the lines of their arms forming triangles plus the lighting is what makes it. It is a beautiful image. |

Paul, nice tones and textures in this image. And both the statue and the steeple of the Cathedral pointing up adds to the interest. It appears that you also did some adjustment for perspective of the architecture which is nicely done. My only thought is that the partial building on the left is a bit of a distraction and you may want to remove it to see what that looks like. |

Fran, I really enjoy taking photos of wildlife. What a great opportunity to see this mountain lion peering out. I prefer the monochrome version because I think the contrast brings out the eyes better and the various tones and textures are more apparent. With the lines of the cave on the top and bottom, you have triangles drawing the eye right into the eye of the mountain lion. Very nice image. |
