14 Mar 26 Reply Hello Ingrid,
Thanks for your comments. I hope you can make it "back east" to experience some of our lighthouses - and staircases!
Now, that you've mentioned that white spot, I can't "un-see" it! Great catch and I will certainly fix it!
Cheers!

Glad to find another staircase lover! This one is worth a visit if you're ever on our side of the world!
Thanks for your comments!

14 Mar 26 Reply Hi Darcy,
You are so right about lighting. I was a bit worried about the bright light coming in from that rectangular window, but it didn't seem to both anyone, so I guess I'll leave it as is.
Thanks for your wonderful comments!

14 Mar 26 Reply Hi Greg,
Thanks so much for the kudos.
I hadn't thought about those half-circles as vanishing points - I guess my paradigm was always that there had to be LINES leading to a vanishing point. I like that concept - it will give me something else to look for as I shoot.
Thank you so much!

14 Mar 26 Comment Hello Kamal,
What an incredible building. You've captured the wonderful architectural detail beautifully.
As others have noted, the sky could use a bit more work, but this is certainly a keeper and a stunning image.
Thanks for taking us on your travels!

14 Mar 26 Comment Welcome Jackie,
Wow - I'm jealous of your trip and this image!
Great idea on the B&W Conversion. I like the other suggestions about the sky and the other edits.
I did have to really zoom in to find those other two bison. As Ingrid noted, they seem to disappear into the bushes. Here's a thought - try editing them out and rename this to "Lonely Bison."
Looking forward to sharing more of your travels and images!

14 Mar 26 Comment Hi Tom,
Great architectural image!
I love the hardness of the roof's angles against the softness of the clouds.
Well done. Thanks for sharing!

14 Mar 26 Comment Hi Greg,
Wow - what a gorgeous car! I think I shot her "twin sister" here in Virginia a few years ago. And I'm so glad you shared your original image because I have HUNDREDS like that from multiple car shows I've shot. So, you have given me hope that I can make something more of those crowded images - if only I had your Photoshop skills! Something to aspire to, I guess!
My initial thought was that I likde the texture in the background, but not necessarily the colors. But the more I let my eye rove through the image, the more they grew on me. Maybe if you just tone the yellow/gold down a bit and make the strip in front of the car darker, it mihgt help focus the eye on the start of the show - that beautiful classic!
Thanks for sharing and inspiring me.

14 Mar 26 Comment Hi Darcy,
What a lovely flower, and those water droplets... Yep, they make the image!
I agree with Ingird. My first reaction was not about the sharpness, but that I'd like the background darker and more out of focus. Her experiment also removed that lighter thorn on the right side of the stem that kept drawing my eye from the beautiful bloom.
Great capture - thanks for sharing!

14 Mar 26 Comment Hi Ingrid,
What a moment between these two and what a great story!
I would love to see the original image because there is a distinct "line" down the middle where you brought them together. You did a good job of blending, but if you do a "magic eye" type of thing, you can clearly see that the shadow of the bird in flight seems to unnaturally end at the feet of the walking bird. Maybe the original could tell the same story with more of an "environmental" feel to it. Just a thought...
Thanks for sharing.
