So um....many of us are of a certain age! If you are over 62 or older you can purchase an America The Beautiful senior pass for $80 that is good for the rest of your life. If you don't lose it. The website is of course not functioning now (grrrr!) but here it is: https://store.usgs.gov/pass. This pass is good not only at national parks but national forests, national monuments, and more. |

I think technically re: noise you are limited by the sensor of the jpeg-ness of the iphone. If your phone has a raw option, I would suggest that if you come across a scene that may be a keeper. Unfortunately, the files will be large and quickly eat up your iCloud space, which is what they want. So keep them culled if you do this. Good luck! I still like the image. |

Thanks Steve,
I was going to create an image with one person walking by, alone. Camera on a tripod. But I just snapped an image each time this woman was between two columns. I realized I could blend them, especially fun since one shot is different, where she stopped to look at her phone or take a selfie.
I am glad you like the blurry....actually I wish I had used a faster shutter speed. It was 1/6 sec.
To blend the images, I loaded them in photoshop as layers, and masked in each figure over the base image. The base image was 10 seconds long so the water would be smooth. That's a separate mask. The water would have looked choppy at 1/6. |

The colors are nice and the scale of the falls against the relatively small human figures gives a dramatic feel to the scene. I know this was not possible but wouldn't it be cool if there was just one person on that rock, maybe posing Rodin-style? |

Cindy, I will repeat myself here. I like the gorilla. I am engaged by the way he is looking our direction; however, in a zoo you are in control of most of the factors and it seems a bit unsharp. Maybe this was due to a glass partition, but if it was due to imperfect focus, or too slow a shutter speed, this shouldn't happen in a controlled situation. |

This has all the nice compositional elements (leading lines, symmetry and also achieves the mood you seek. I like the graininess and softness of the dark areas, there's definitely mystery. Very impressionist. |

I like this image, it's sharp and clear. In general I am not a fan of zoo images. What I would say is, as much as possible if you have a captive animal, and you have the freedom and patience to wait for your moment (e.g. he cannot prance off to hunt a gazelle), perhaps it would be best to have him looking towards you, or at least turned slightly in your direction. Seeing both eyes would be a huge plus. My two cents. You are more in control here than you would be in the wild, so take advantage of that. |

To me this is about colors and textures. It's very appealing. The wall/tree bark. The various leaf patterns including those reflected in the glass. The bold red is lovely compared to the flatter source image, but having done so I might boost the greens as well for complementary colors. Nice. |
