12 Oct 17 Comment I apologize for misspelling the title of Kerstin's photo. It's supposed to be Siam, not Sian. Oct 17th
12 Oct 17 Comment I love it! The eyes are so clear and bright...and "looking up"! So, instead of the photographer looking up or pointing the camera up, you had the subject looking up. Great idea! And the depth of field is just perfect. Oct 17th
12 Oct 17 Comment I love the way the fountain fills up the base of the image. But it does really bother me that the buildings aren't the right ones...because you rotated the image horizontally. For people who know what the buildings look like there, it makes the photo look deceptive as well as strange.

I see a strange pixel effect which is usually caused by reducing choosing too much compression when saving as a jpg. We have plenty of space on our website for a regular resolution, so you don't have to do it so strongly for us. When resizing the width and height in pixels, you can use the lowest compression setting, not the highest. Sometimes it's referred to as the highest quality (which has the lowest compression).

12 Oct 17 Reply Instead of choosing the ISO, I tend to select a high shutter speed so that my shaky old hands can still take a fairly sharp photo. I let the camera choose the ISO most of the time. I set a high limit of ISO 800, for the grain. Every once in a while, I set the ISO to 100 or 200 or 400 when I want to have no grain, but still use shutter speed priority as my foundation. Oct 17th
12 Oct 17 Comment I didn't even notice the glare as being anything distracting. I think it's such a little bit and it represents the brightness of a sunny day at a stadium like that. Realism is good!

Your "looking up" has nice perspective and vanishing point. Leads my eye up to the top of the stadium seating where we see the man and the booth. Well done!		 Oct 17th
12 Oct 17 Comment Excellent choice for a "looking up" subject! The plane is sharp and well exposed. And in a good location. I wonder how fast your shutter speed was, because I think I see an actual propeller! Clouds are often just simply white all over, so that doesn't bother me. Oct 17th
12 Oct 17 Reply Thanks, Walter! Oct 17th
12 Oct 17 Reply I do have the Nik filters, but I tend to use Lightroom's Luminance for the blue (or whatever appropriate color) to darken or lighten colors. I think the blue in this photo was "as found." It looked exactly how it was in person. The darker blue as found in skies in Colorado, for example, seem to happen at higher elevations. Oct 17th
12 Oct 17 Reply Flickr is a great place to store one's photos. I feel that my relatives can obtain family photos from me that way after I'm gone (well, I am 75 now, so I do think of such things!). Oct 17th
12 Oct 17 Reply I think I didn't even notice the green tree! Thanks. Also like the idea of adding clouds. I was so fixated on getting the flags right that I didn't think of the rest! That's what study groups are for...to point such things out. Oct 17th
