86 Jun 22 Reply Thanks for your comments. I like your imagination. But I prefer to remain rooted in man made architecture. I agree that the shadows on the carpet make it busy. However, it would seem surreal for a photo of a glass building, on a sunny day, to have no shadows? I appreciate your comments because they always give me something to think about and reconsider the image. Jun 21st
86 Jun 22 Reply Could be. Taken in 2019. First trip out of Europe through CDG. I usually go through Amsterdam, and Frankfurt only if I have to. Jun 21st
86 Jun 22 Comment I find the image interesting, but I am not sure that I like it? Except for the swirl, it seems too close to my natural eyesight. Camera movement is an interesting art form, which I have only practiced by accident. I like the colors, subjects, and composition. I think I would have enjoyed the "normal" image. That said, I admire your creativity and willingness to explore and share other photo genres. Jun 14th
86 Jun 22 Comment I also REALLY like this shot! Agree with Jack regarding saturation - the colors are pastel and the fabric appears "soft", which goes well together. This is an image I would consider for competition and would explore a slight boost in contrast/structure to define the fabric and increase depth. Although I like the strong blue sky, it seems to detract or overpower the sculpture a little. I generally do not like images without perspective correction (vertical here), but I think it works well with the image. Nicely done. Jun 14th
86 Jun 22 Comment I like your creativity. I, too, do not get a night feel. I like the way that most of the image is morphed. However, I agree with Belinda that "eliminating" the sun also eliminates the shadows (which I really like) which become plantings or stepping stones. I prefer the original image. Jun 14th
86 Jun 22 Comment Jack, like this a lot. BW is perfect. You could "straighten things" with a little perspective / clone work (attached rough example) but, to my eye, that cancels the "abstract" nature of the image. Prefer as is. Suggest that you crop just a small part of the bottom to eliminate the bottom sliver of white form. Jun 14th
86 Jun 22 Comment Very nice. The flower is nicely framed, sharp in the center that extends to edges. The yellow contrasts well with the green background. A very slight darkening / blur of the background might give a little extra POP. Also, suggest that you crop just a little off the top and bottom for a square format. Well done. Jun 14th
86 Jun 22 Comment I like the subject and intent. An innovative approach. The part that is in focus gives a glimpse of the potential of the entire image in focus. For my taste, there is too much out of focus. The small lens (I think ~28 mm) results in a very short DOF. Suggest backing away a bit to increase DOF, use focus lock on the center of the depth, and then crop to increase the increase the image size. Jun 14th
