Peter, Yes I agree with all your suggestions … cropping does make a difference and I didn't realise till I seen the image here that it wasn't straight. That is a pet hate of mine with images because its so easy to correct and here I am guilty of it...:) |

Thanks Barbara and yes I do agree with everyone's comments on cropping the bottom slightly, looks a lot better. I kept the top there because of the train being there. I know it is a bit busy and do agree that it does work without it too.
This is why I love being apart of a group like this.....everyone looking at each others images with fresh eyes and great suggestions.

yes I agree Gerard this image needs straightening and I don't know how I didn't notice the white edge and not cropped it out, usually I would. |

Gerard, I personally like the B & W version, the red in the colour image grabs my attention not the flower. The B & W version has no distractions, in fact the red liquid in the vase being dark allows for the flowers to be the highlight of the image. The diagonal of the flowers forms a triangle for your eyes to follow and is very pleasing to the eye. The left to right theory again. This is a very simple and pleasing image and needs no improvement. |

Barbara, I think the conversion to monochrome is a great idea. It brings out the different tones of the layers on the petals. Getting the bug flying in and the bright circle right behind it was timing. It would have got lost in the darkness otherwise. The bug also balances the composition, with the flower being more to one side. Unfortunately, with the B&W conversion, I think you have lost a bit of the detail in the stamens. I see you use PSE and I am not sure if you have layers but if you do you could maybe reduce the black or the shadows only on this section to bring out the details. Lovely image though. |

Randy, This is a lovely image telling the story of the children playing. The blur showing movement in the child's feet really adds to the playing theme. I agree with Gerard about cropping out the foreground its a bit of a distraction, especially the bright area. May I also suggest cropping the top to just above the graffiti. I find the top of the doorway is taking my eye away from the children and without it there has more emphasis on them. I like the use of monochrome for this image. Lovely capture and story. |

Michael, Wow great image with so much detail. I think your use of DOF is fantastic with just the few petals (are they called petals?) in the background just out of focus. Good use of the light having it bright in the centre of the subject and tapering off to the black background. Works well as a monochrome. |

Linda, I too think the sky replacement was a good choice. This image with the replaced sky really does look good in monochrome. How you brought out the texture in the stump is fantastic. I agree with Alan and Gerard's comments too. Great image of a lovely dead tree. |

Wow Peter, I love this....its a fantastic composite image. The new background is so much better and you have blended the two images together perfectly. I like the use of contrast which brings out all the details in the car. Works great in monochrome. I do agree with Michael, the power pole needs to go. Its distraction. Apart from that fantastic work. |
