48 Feb 23 Reply Thanks Lloyd, a good part of it is having a great model and good lighting. Feb 4th
48 Feb 23 Reply Any better Mary? There are so many shadows that I didn't want to over do it. Feb 3rd
48 Feb 23 Comment Bev, beside being a great catch to begin with, I think by your layer edit of the background really made him POP! Original was ways too busy. He almost looks like he is floating. Love it! Feb 3rd
48 Feb 23 Comment Mary, I love this! Turning it into a low key really made it POP! Super detail in the neon. Sharp as a tack and couldn't be any better. Feb 3rd
48 Feb 23 Comment Jamie, fun, super sharp image! Next time have the two climbers turn and look! Just kidding! Image perfectly cropped and has a lot of visual impact and human interest. Feb 3rd
48 Feb 23 Comment Paul, love this image. You caught the ballerinas in perfect position. The burgundy background really makes them pop. Perfectly cropped and no distracting elements within the frame. A winner! Feb 3rd
48 Feb 23 Comment Lloyd, this is a fascinating image. The Bobcat is absolutely amazing!!! Sounded like an outstanding photo safari. The visual impact is superior. Very strong composition and perfectly cropped. Super! Feb 3rd
48 Feb 23 Comment Dear Paul, Very very sorry to hear you will not be staying on with us. Your work is exemplary and your commentary was outstanding and informative. Wish you would stay. Feb 2nd

71 Feb 23 Reply Theresa, this is why 5 heads are better than one. His face is pushed too far I'm afraid but the arm and hand are a definite improvement. As always, thanks for your suggestions. Feb 8th
71 Feb 23 Reply John, thank you for your comments. It is far from perfect but I am still working on it. I have adjusted the leaning vertical wall lines in the top left further but the faces are tough. The gentleman has a hat and umbrella. Work in progress. Feb 7th
71 Feb 23 Reply Thank you Michele, Your comments are always very helpful and right on. Feb 4th
71 Feb 23 Reply John, personally I think you lucked out with finding this location for this image. Almost looks like a vertical panorama. You just never know! Feb 3rd
71 Feb 23 Comment John, being a long time white water paddler, I look at those rapids and would just love to see them. Love the way the white water leads you through the image ending at the falls. I feel the image may need a little more saturation but then think that this is probably how it looked in the middle of the frigid winter as you noted. Where were you to get this vantage point? Really like it! Feb 3rd
71 Feb 23 Comment Nigel, I actually like the sky. It give the image a foreboding feel. I think the spot to the right , center and left of the borders need to be toned down just a tad. Like the composition the flowers do add. This image shows much technical proficiency. Well done. Feb 3rd
71 Feb 23 Comment Hi Mike, very good story and composition. Would like to know your F stop, ISO and Speed. No matter what, even with the sandhills slightly out of focus moving fast with the coyote stalking them may just aid in the story. Feb 3rd
71 Feb 23 Comment Michele, BREATHTAKING!!!!! Like your revised version. Do the stars actually shine through the magnificant colors. This images has great visual impact. Feb 3rd
71 Feb 23 Comment Theresa, I really like this image. Also like Nigel's edit. Went one small step further and removed the tractor tracks on the beach which drew my eye away from the beauty of the image and fog. Feb 3rd
71 Feb 23 Reply Nigel, thank you! In the many competitions this image has been in and done very well I never noticed that the vertical line of the walls were so crooked. Following image I straightened them although everything in Cuba is crooked. This is why this group is so helpful. Feb 3rd
71 Feb 23 Reply Mike, I agree with you that the faces are in the shadows and have tried to lighten. My results were lousy. I did however lighten a small amount and then sharpen and results were better but not perfect. Will post. Feb 3rd
