Thanks, Darcy. I'll zoom in and see what's going on with the stem. I did take out some unnecessary plant parts, so maybe I didn't do such a great job. I'll also try to crop in closer and see what that does for it. I appreciate your feedback! |

Thanks, Gregory. I will check for the fringing, especially since it's so easily fixed. Guess I should have zoomed in to check before posting. :) |

Thanks, Tom. I'll see what I can do about the right front petal. |

Hi Xiao. I feel that your redo of post processing is very beneficial, especially the recovery of the detail in the shadow. My only suggestion would be to reduce the saturation of the green so that it doesn't draw so much attention. This is a very effective portrait. Thanks for sharing it. |

Hi Syed. I am also glad you explained where you captured this image. I have tried to capture scenes out of the window of airplanes, but have never managed to get such good definition. On my screen, it appears almost black and white, so I agree that a little more saturation might help, unless you actually made it black and white which would also be effective. I think your composition with the mountains in the diagonal and the clouds floating above make the image feel dynamic. I like the fact that much of the image is hazy with the exception of the mountain tops and the clouds. You might want to consider cloning out the clouds on the left hand border, leaving only those that are entirely in the frame. Thanks so much for sharing this. |

Hi Tom - I love the of this image and the subject. My first thought was 'Brrr" which is communicated very clearly. You have done a great job of capturing the mood and interest of this scene from the interesting graffiti, machinery and the beautiful snow collecting on the cold surface of the engine. I also love your treatment of the background trees and sky which add a great dimension to the subject without distracting. I find the colorful graffiti on the snow plow very interesting, but also wonder if its weight, extra color and large area abutting the right side of the image, grab too much attention away from the wonderful engine itself. It might be worth reducing the saturation of that portion of the image and see if it brings more emphasis on the engine. This is a wonderful image of a train in winter and I wish that I had such a great photographic opportunity sometime in my world. Thanks for sharing it! |

Hi Greg. You have done an excellent job of isolating the rider from the background and your decision to go higher into the stands was a excellent idea. I agree with the others that the color version gives a bit more sense of place and action. I especially like the curving tracks to the left of the rider which mirror the veering of the rider to the right. You might consider just cropping out the left third of the frame, eliminating the second rider and the bright spot above, but leaving the featured rider with more room. Overall, I like your image very much and its celebration that things are returning to normal, post Covid (I hope post-Covid) |

Hi Darcy. I love this flower and like the composition you have chosen with the two leaves and other blooms above the main bloom and slightly in less focus. The detail of the subject flower is well-captured and very well exposed. I might try to add a little bit of the texture slider to the main bloom just to see what additional detail it might bring up. The only other thing that I might try would be to lower the brightness on the out of focus white blooms at the bottom because I find them a bit distracting. All in all, though, a beautiful capture of a great flower. |

Hi Karen. I agree that you have satisfied the camera club assignment very well, and I like your choice of subjects. I also like the composition and the placing of the glass within the frame. I agree the cloud directly above the glass rim in blown out, but it does move the focus upward to emphasize the "looking up" assignment. It would be great if you could recover a little bit more of the upper rim on the glass. I find the effect of the image very pleasing though, and feel like I should make a toast! Here's to your success in submitting the image to your Club! |
