Karen,
GREAT observation about the Juvenile, so that the "rule of odds" still holds. I should have consulted you first.
I tried adding additional water to the LH side of the image, based on your suggestion, but was disappointed (for the first time) at how poorly PS additive fill actually worked. |

Tor,
Thanks for your comments and observations. My thoughts with the yellow of reflections was to accentuate the golden hour glow. |

Tors,
Welcome to our group.
I glanced at your portfolio and quickly realized I like your style and your "eye" towards seeing things that most others miss. I like to think that I'm of the same mindset.
The Yellow Fence is fun. The reality supercedes what we all know it should be - straight lines, even spacing, repeating rectangular rows and columns. Your chosen crop is perfect. The increased saturation of the Fireweed (Alaska's state flower) is needed as a contrast to the yellow fence.
well done.! |

My wife was in Aix en Provence last summer for a few days to tour the Lavender fields. She said that I would have been in heaven with the camera if I had been there.
I love this image. The overall green tone is accentuated by the bright red lipstick of the woman. She gave you a wonderful smile, too. You did a great job of removing the distractions and toning down the background behind the mirror.
What fun! |

Terri,
Like Karen, I am not a fan of baiting "wild" animals in order to coax them into position, but I do like aspects of your image. The backlighted flash provides great rim light as well as shadows, while the frontal flash gives the needed illumination to bring out the foxs coloration and detail including the catchlight in the eyes. |

Karen,
I love the history in the image. The castle ruins on the clifftop really accentuate to scene. Perfect timing (from your moving ship).
To my eye, the image lacks the punch needed to make this wall-worthy and a standout at a photo exhibit. I took the liberty of modifying the image slightly with a deeper blue sky that included increased texture and clarity to bring out the high clouds, then did a slight global sharpening and saturation increase to bring out the character of the foreground buildings.
Just my thoughts. |

This eclipse, with complete totality, was a wonderful experience. I, too, was in the path of totality and had my gear set up with the proper filter that slips over the end of my long lens. Unfortulately, as the time got closer to the eclipse the skies started to change from totally clear to high cirrus clouds to slightly heavier high clouds, and all my images are all slightly "unsharp". So, I'm not going to do anything with them. That's frustrating, but it was still a wonderful experience.
There certainly is a learning curve with this type of photography. It was fun learning that. |

Lucky you for being able to attract such a beautiful butterfly.
I like the dark background and the colorful iridescence of the wings; however I feel that the light is lacking a bit - especially compared to the brighter "original 3". The iridescence doesn't play as well as it could have to bring out the marvelous detail. Plus, the body of the butterfly kind of gets lost in the shadows.
I've been playing around with macro with spring wildflowers as of late. It's a whole different world.
I love your effort. |
