Peggy, That's one of the places on my list to visit and shoot! I think given the tight quarters you were working with that you chose a camera angle that brings in all of the pieces of furniture and the ghastly walls. Well done! My main suggestion for improvement would be to run it through Topaz denoise to get rid of some of the noise that comes with shooting at 3200ISO. |

Alan,
It's so hard to get a decent shot in a museum. As you said in your description, the lighting is terrible for photography and then there are the crowds. Ugh! So good for you that you made an attempt at it!!
My only suggestions would be to darken the white house to bring greater attention to the flag, which is your subject. |

Josh,
It's never easy to take a good phot of your own kid! I remember when my boys were that age!! You captured a great expression on her!
Suggestions: Consider cropping in a bit from the left and right to create a portrait orientation. Suggest cloning out the triangular shape that appears to be growing out of her head on the left aide of the photo. It almost looks like the other part of the tassle on the right side, but of course it isn't. Consider toning down the sign in the upper right and the TV screen. They comnpete with her. |

Stephen,
This is an interesting indoor architectural shot that has a lot of possibilities going for it. Upu did a great job with the light on those lights and the outside light. It would have been so easy to have blown them out!
My suggestions would be to select a different camera angle to either get the lines in the windows straight or to very deliberately allow them to bend a lot more by say getting lower and to the left. The figures I think are too dark. Even for silhouettes you want some detail in the images. The person on the far left merges with the dark column behind him/her. Can't tell what is in the lower left corner. Is it a person? |

Craig,
I've done a little light painting and have a friend who does a lot of this stuff. It is fun and can create some unusual images.
So this is an abstract with an emphasis on color and some movement. If you are going with color as your theme, then I would suggest using complimentary colors, if you want to suggest dynamism, like the blues that you have paired with say yellow. If you were trying to express tranquility, then go with colors in the same pallet, like different shades of blues. But by choosing lots of different colors it leaves me confused as to which moods you are trying to create. Keep at it! It sounds like fun! |

Owen,
Like you I live in the greater DC area, so I am always looking for new places to shoot. Great idea to get fireworks on New Year's Eve!!
Your rendition of the fireworks is terrific! You have sharpness and great color. It's too bad that the dark part of the sky wasn't a lot lower to really let those fireworks colors pop!
As for suggestions, check out a portion of the orange sky on the far left. Looks ike you cloned out something, but there is some smudginess still there. I'm also troubled by the red backlights. They come into the picture, but exit out taking my eye out of the picture instaed of towards those wondeerful fireworks. The white headlights take your eye towards the ferriswheel and then to the fireworks. |

Bud, excellent image! Agree with Larry to get rid of the white spot at the top. I haven't tried the lens blur feature in LRC. I guess I'll have to give it a try!! |

Richard,
We get red foxes in my area as well, but I have not gotten a shot this good! My only suggestion would be to get rid of the stick on the left as others have noted and bring a little more shaprness to the fox's fur. |

Larry,
Love the image. I don't mind the reed. The image is very sharp and well exposed. Love that you caught the bird nabbing an insect! Like you I have a platipod. I use it for capturing spring flowers. They are so small and close to the ground. |

Susan,
Getting a sharp image of the bird in flight is one of photography's toughest challenges! Well done. You have captured the pelican in flight with its wings up and the eye is clearly visible and pretty. sharp. My concern about the image is that it really seems like 2 images. The pelican, which appears to be your subject and the other birds that are very bright and brightly colored. Since you subject is the pelican, suggest you crop out the other birds. My other suggestion is that you run the image through Topaz sharpen AI to remove some of the blurriness in the pelican. |

Michael,
I'm in agreement with pretty much what others suggested. Can't believe that you actually were able to take a picture of one of these very skittish little guys!! I'd crop out the pine cones on the left, add a little room above the bird's head and either clone out the leaves or desaturate them. |
