Lance, My apologies for getting you involved in this , but, I finally have been able to log in the the PSA website and have printed off your article from the current edition of the Journal.
It took Tom Pickering and Sharon Powers (PSA Webmaster) getting involved to have me clear my Cache on my Iphone to get connected to the website.
I'll be reading your article shortly and would like to continue our conversation. What's the best avenue for that?
My email address is: wulpi1@frontier.com |

Lance, I'm currently reading Galen Rowell's book "Inner Game of Outdoor Photography" (C 2001). He relates That "A Visionary image communicates the intentionality of the artists experience." That certainly validates my efforts and this interesting conversation. Thank you for your insight.
PS,
I still cannot log on to the PSA website. All browsers that I have access to will not allow PSA-Photo.org to load onmy computer. Any idea why? |

Martin, Great capture. So much to look at. I agree with others that the uninterested observer should be cropped out. That action leaves only those who are jamming and having a great time. Great detail. |

Jaqueline, You certainly get to some interesting events!
What fun to be able to photograph this. I'm assuming it's some sort of competition, but it's nothing like I've ever seen before.
As Martin pointed out, the horses right front hoof is out of the frame, but I love the rest of it. The lines, the intensity, the (unmentioned until now) the setting - and the shell of a stone house in the background. Very cool!
Where and what was this event? |

Shirley,
I, too have purchased, and regularly use, the Topaz suite of products. They're awesome.
There are some effects of overprocessing on some of the feathers, but slight adjustments of LR sliders should eliminate them.
I really like the 3 distinct segments of the sky.
Good crop. Well done. |

Piers,
I'm laughing and smiling after (finally) reading all the others comments and suggestions.
Like the others, I also thought the "garage" atmosphere detracted from the beautiful Clydesdale. I have to admit, the garage atmosphere does tell a story, but without straw on the ground or anything wooden, it's just a garage.
Deleting the window lights on the door helped, but then things progressed to a completely different level than you started out with. You have to decide which way you want to go with the image. |

Martin, You are correct. I did accomplish what I originally set out to do. After this wonderful discussion, I'll have to rethink my processing for future works .....but that's what I really like about these discussion (study) groups. |

Thank you, Jaqueline. With suggestions regarding the bent frond, I will rethink my processing of similar items. |

Lance,
For some reason, my computer will not allow the PSA website to load indicating there is an improper "response" that would otherwise allow the website to open. That way, I could read your article about "intentionality. Consequently, I have not read it yet. I will find a way to get to it, though. I did look at your other images posted this month in the 3 groups you are part of and notice very similar intentions - especially with your image in group 24. Stunning.
I did do a quick-and dirty conversion of my palm frond into B&W. I do like it and the additional contrast it presents.
Thanks again for your comments and insights.

Thank you for your comments, Lance.
The image I posted here was exactly what I envisioned when I triggered the shutter. It was very intentional.
I'm working towards intentionality with many of my images, so, it is wonderful to get validation towards that effort - especially someone of like-mind towards seeing life like this. |

Piers, Thank you for the wonderfully expressive use of the phrase that I "brilliantly captured design in nature". That alone validates my efforts. YES, the bent blade was an intentional aspect of this image.
I'll try to locate this image again in LR and try a BW conversion. |

Shirley, Thank you for your comments.
Like Piers has noted, below, the bent blade of the palm frond is exactly the "kicker" bit of contrast to this scene that drew my eye. I love the texture and contrast of the overall shadows, too, but the bent blade, I feel, seems to accentuate the rest. Now, I realize, though, that I should have used a smaller aperture to bring that bent blade into better focus.

Lance, Thank you for visiting and commenting on my eerily similar image in group 02.
I love the Silver Efex variation. It does make it look metallic. |
