I did notice recently that the building on the left was clipped a bit and now wish I had moved over a bit to include the whole building. What an excuse to plan a trip to Chicago and take this image once again. Thank you Trey for mentioning what are the strong points in the image as this is very helpful to me. |

I did try Gordon's suggestion and it does make a difference but you have to be careful, like Gordon said, not to apply too much contrast. |

Thanks for the suggestions using a curve's layer, Gordon. I shall try that. Oh, -17 deg cel...that's cold. I went in August to Chicago and that can be really hot at that time but luckily for me it was pretty mild. |

Thank you Jay for your kind words and observation. On certain types of scenes where there are green/blue colors in a scene, infrared is quite effective in capturing a scene where certain elements stand out...so much fun to do. |

You are getting better at your post processing skills Ian but it takes time and practice. I've been working on post processing skills myself the past 6 months and sometimes impatience gets in the way. I've found that working on one element at a time, for example, masking in Lightroom Classic (or PS) helps. I had to learn not to be distracted or impatient by trying to be skillful in post processing within a short period of time. I did darken the foreground a bit in this image but see that I could have darkened the grass a bit more. The problem was that there was different tones between the green grass and trees in viewing the original scene that I wasn't sure how to darken the grass more than the trees. Thanks for your suggestions Ian. |

All the light beams are at an angle and I like the direction and angle of the performer's body. All these elements unify the image. The image was made stronger by the conversion to B/W and capturing the intensity of the performer in his routine. This image, in its simplicity, conveys the strength, agility, concentration and training that is needed for him to perform his act. Well done Sophie. |

Gordon, you are a master of your craft. I am always amazed at your photoshop expertise. You have now given me two assignments...find out more about Night from Day colour look-up and finding out how to put a blurred reflection on the bottom part of an image. Your image is lovely to look at with interesting elements and colors. I know that you created this composite but it is a beautiful, beautiful image and so realistic. Well done Gordon. |

Images that portray simplicity can be very powerful...no distractions...just warmth, sun, water and sand. Visually a very strong image and the comments by Gordon and Trey making a portrait crop would really focus in on the important elements and make them stand out even more. Good catch on including the sun's reflection in the sand. Beautiful image Jay. |

My first thought would be to make a puzzle out of this image...maybe 500-1000 pieces. It was fun taking time to look over the image discovering so many nuances in the image. For instant, I didn't discover the cameraman (at top/middle of image) at first but such a joy to find something new in a sea of faces. The colorful clothing adds to the richness of the image. Nice image, Sanford.

I like how you applied the colors to the trees, brightly color trees in the foreground and toned down color for the trees as they receded in the background. The triangle of lighter green grass with a lighten spot of yellow is complimentary to the oak tree with orange trees. The hillside is a nice compliment to foreground and doesn't compete with the foreground. The commentary added to the backstory of the image. Last year for 1 1/2 days a mother deer and her twin fawns took refuge in my backyard and that was a joy to see. |

I don't remember the exact height of the sunflower but think it was about 15-20 feet tall. I would love to go back to Chicago as it's a great place for architecture and outdoor installations.
