This is a very interesting capture and your phone has done an excellent job. I agree that cropping a little of the crowd gathered on the right might be an improvement, bringing more attention to the parade. Although the young man making eye contact with you does draw the viewer directly to him, rather than the camels and their riders, I think it also gives viewer a personal connection to the scene. I makes me feel that I might be right there, rather than just recording the event. Thank you! |

Hi Xiao, All I can say is "WOW", this is a great capture. Although this eye is a tad soft, I think this could be easily sharpened in Lightroom or PhotoShop. Reducing the sharpness of the tree slightly is an iteresting thought, and might bring the viewer's eye more strongly to the bird. My only other thought would be to try flipping the image horizontally, so the bird would be flying forward rather than backward, Thanks for sharing this, Xiao, I really enjoyed seeing this little guy! |

Hi Tom - this is an amazing bloom and I'm again amazed at the ability of the Iphone to capture exceptional close up images. I especially like the color, sharpness and intricacy of the yellow stamins, they are beautiful and really draw the eye into the center and the industrios bee. My only suggestion would be to select the background, and clone in more of the spotted leaf detail or the blurry grey in the area where there are blurred white petals in the upper right corner. I think that might give more attention to the flower itself. It's a beautiful image! |

Hi Darcy, /this is certainly a unique plant and I love the way the light is hitting it, highlighting its color and making it the center of interest. The curvature of the main stem also adds to its interest. I think your decision to desaturate the background was very effective and allows the main plant to standout while still providing a sense of the locale, rather than a solid background which is usually my inclination. It's not often I see a plant that I have never experience before, so thanks so much for bringing it to us! |

Thanks, David. I like the fully colored image better too, but it also seemed like a good selection for this assignment. :) |

I think you've done a great job of editing this image for this month's assignment, but I also like the original better, especially since the two supporting buds are slightly less saturated than the leading lady in the center. ;) |

This was a great choice for this assignment because the beautiful bud would be lost in a fully saturated version, but having the desaturated full bloom behind gives the bud much more context than it would have on a plain background.I'm conflicted about cropping down from the top, and can see advantages both ways, Your choice of a colored border really completes the composition nicely. |

This is a great capture of orchids, which I often find difficult to shoot. Removing the upper orchid which runs off the frame was a spot-on, and, personally, I like the fact that you selected the lower orchid to emphasize. I also have to say that the original with the nice complementary colors of green and purple is also an excellent presentation! |

This is a very nice minimalist composition, and was well-selected for this assignmment. The suggestion for rotating the image counter-clockwise is an interested one, and worth trying, although I like the composition the way it is. Enhancing the yellow of the butterfly was well done and adds to the effectiveness of the image. The sharpness of the butterfly and the center of the flower are also well-done. Thanks for sharing this! |

This image was a great one to select for this treatment, since the flower you selected to leave colored was also well-placed and more in focus than the supporting actors. Your decision to slightly desaturate the colored flower was alao inspired. I probably wouldn't have thought of that, but a fully saturated colored bloom would not have been as subtle and pleasing to view. Thanks for sharing this! |
