Karen,
Somehow, our place in Ft Myers escaped unscathed! Not sure how that happened after seeing all the incredible videos of wind, driving rain and water - lots of water.
I am in IN for the next week or so, then head down south to see things first hand. Then, I'm off for 1 month to Pategonia and Antarctica. YAY!
Our friend from St Augusting has been up here with us for the past 1 1/2 weeks. Flew back 2 days before IAN hit Ft Myers.
Hope you survived the storm OK. |

Martin, The Geologist in me is smiling. I would readily have taken the same image if I was there. Patience is a nearly required virtue to have among the list of technical knowledge for any photograher to have. Yours paid off with the fortunate brief emergence of late sunlight. Love the 'glow" of the sun on the geologic features.
The suggestion to crop up from the bottom to eliminate non-important "clutter" was wise. The bottom 1/3 line is still evident as the green boundary with the top of the boulders.
Your shutter speed is confusing when you state that this was an 8 second exposure. Were you using ND filters? |

Wow. Martin nailed it. The colors (I think all are in agreement favoring the color version), the verticality of the bridge and the overall brightening of the image really helps. |

This is a wonderful image bathed in wonderful light. I was taken by the reflection in the table surface that appears to be wood. Nice composition and soft colors. |

Shirley, You're a woman after my own heart.
I would have done (and quite often, do) the same thing if I don't have my large camera with me. I break out the cell phone when I see something that catches my eye.
I like the isolation of the subject and noticed (from your original) that you filled in the little notch on the back edge. I like it.
Sorry, I can't help with the ID either. |

Piers.
This is a version of an Iris that has a "beard" - the fuzzy caterpillar-looking part resting in the front "fall". I have similar Iris's in my yard. No all species of Iris are bearded.
Like others, I love the red and blue colors, but feel the background was taken down too much. The soft focus of the back features of the Iris is surprising - given the lens and aperture you used - I would think should have gotten more depth of field. |

OK, All,
Here is a quick and dirty redo of the orginal image - re-edited to Black & White. I used a masking brush to take down the exposure in the "eyes" on the ceilings to make them less of a focal point.
Thoughts? |

Thanks for your comments, Jaqueline.
One of my favorite images from that time at the Madrid Airport is one that has won accolades over the years -in part, because it WAS converted to Black and white.
I'm attaching it here.

Thanks, Martin.
You are absolutely right about "if I had only taken 1 more step forward" I would have eliminated the support column in the upper right. Don't know why I didn't do that at the time.
Interesting observation about the giant moth/Butterfly. That's not something I had "seen" in this scene before. |

Thanks, Shirley. The image is pretty much centered relative to the end of the concourse. Like Martin referenced, below, I should have taken an additional step forward and eliminate the support post in the upper right. That would have eliminated the visual confusion of not being centered.
It was a fun place to have a camera. |
