Thank you Jay. The aeronautical museum was interesting to go thru and I learned so much aeronautical history. My cousin and I wanted to tour the Airbus assembly area but that area was closed that day. |

Gordon, Thank you for taking the time to explain your process as it helps me to understand the complex but satisfying process you undertook to create this image. As for Ai I don't use it much except to maybe expand a border of an image and simple things like that. Ai still has a long way to go as the largest pixel amount (correct me if I'm wrong) is somewhere around 1024 px and is no where near the pixel count of a RAW image if you combine Ai with a Raw image to add content. I did, however, process an iris image to completion and then took that image and asked Ai to generate a watercolor painting in the style of Georgia O'Keefe. I then combined the original processed iris image with the watercolor generated image and reduced opacity to combine the best of both. Again, thank you for your thorough explanation and my sincere appreciation. |

Your post processing work on the background, including the foreground (grasses) is superb. I probably would have asked Ai to change the background for me. The detail is excellent from the car light, addition of the lamp post with radiating light, to the light on the individuals from the car headlights, etc. I am such an admirer of your skills and mastery in post-processing. Fantastic image. Question, Gordon: What was the process where you figured out what you wanted to add to the image...I admire your imagination...the image was well thought out and successful, I might add. |

You did a great job with your cropping and post-processing. I couldn't have said it any better than Ian and Gordon said in their comments. How cold was it on this day? Hope you had some hand warmers. If I lived in an area where the winters are cold and snowy I probably would have elected to do some table top photography...so kudos for venturing out and getting this wonderful image. I remember your image of the canoes...have you had a chance to photograph the canoes with snow on them? |

Good contrast and sharpness on the closes hillside show good definition. The lines of the rice fields in the distance add visual appeal to the image. The only thing I might remove is the single stalk at the bottom middle of the image. I'm curious about one thing. I imagine the rutted road you rode on is the way that the families go on also. Are there pathways that the family walk on from the rutted road to get to their rice plots? Nice image Sanford. |

I look forward to seeing what you post in group 56. Myself, I'm still hesitant taking people (in street photography) from the front, usually taking them from the side or back....still working up the courage to take people from the frontside. |

This image is all about lines and rectangles (square blocks on wall). The application of contrast rally enhances the image along with the b/w conversion. The lower left looks a bit cluttered with the table/chairs tucked in the corner but there's nothing much you could have done about that. Street photography is an interesting genre. One thing that I've found is that you have to always be ready with your camera (F stops set, shutter speed set, etc. so that when something happens you are ready to take a picture in that instance. And, another thing, from personal experience, I've learned is to be open for anything and not to occupy your mind with things that you think may happen but generally don't. Street photography can be challenging and I would love to see some more of your work in this genre. |

Congratulations on getting out of your comfort zone and trying something new and creative. Creativity comes in many forms but using an image with a textured layer over it is one of my favorite things to do. You can reduce the opacity of the textured layer as Gordon suggested or you can place a mask on the texture layer, take a brush, reduce the brush opacity to something like 25-32 (your choice really) and paint on the mask leaving only a small effect of texture on the flower. I look forward to seeing more of your new-found creative skills in future postings. Well done, Ian. |
