12 Jul 22 Reply It is tricky to work with patterns with light areas near the edges that can attract the eye and make me wonder what is beyond. These endless scenes are particularly difficult in this regard, I think. What do you think of my vertical selection? Jul 26th
12 Jul 22 Reply It is so ironic that I didn't "clean up" my image's distractions. I'm always preaching to do that. Isn't it amazing how other people see the obvious! Thanks for bringing it to my attention! Looks so much better! Jul 26th
12 Jul 22 Reply I have the Tamron 18-270. Try taking the same image with the 18mm and your 300mm. You'll get different results with the DOF and the perspective. Even if you end up cropping the wide angle shot to make it match the telephoto view. I have to remind myself to do that. I tend to zoom to get the composition I want instead of choosing a focal length and then moving myself to compose. Jul 21st
12 Jul 22 Comment You captured the nature patterns "on" the strawberries as well as the man-made patterns of the boxes of berries. A 2 for 1. Nothing distracts my eye and my taste buds! Great lighting. Great camera angle. If I ever see such perfect-looking strawberries, I'd be tempted to take their picture, too! Your image looks so real, like I could pick one up right out of the boxes. Jul 21st
12 Jul 22 Comment Since I rarely see a beach or sand, I find your image and explanation really interesting. I never would've guessed the meaning of the white pole. I'd consider this image more of an environmental record shot. For me, it is interesting to see what looks like water in the background, so I get the lay of the land. The patterns all by themselves would make a good image, too. The slight angle of the path the sea turtle took makes me feel that I could picture her slowly crawling her way up through the sand.

12 Jul 22 Comment I am a big fan of hostas. They provide us photographers with some good patterns in nature. This image is more unusual because of the tree leaf. Good find! I applaud your use of so many post-editing helpers. I know from experience that f/8 and 1/125 sec wouldn't satisfy my sharpness desires. I find it next to impossible to get everything in focus unless it is a wide-angle shot. Were you using telephoto or macro? You can even use a wide angle lens by shooting up close. I think the light leaf would show more texture if the Highlights were reduced. Jul 21st
12 Jul 22 Comment I am envious of being on that hill and looking out to see these patterns! I like your composition, but I can see there would be almost endless compositions to capture in the Palouse. At first, I thought of cropping off the top. Then, I decided I also like it if I crop off the bottom third. That places the house down lower. I think it is hard to keep the eye traveling within the picture. The light area at the top makes my eye leave the image. My eye isn't guided around the image by the patterns, but the patterns are still interesting to me. Jul 21st
