48 Jun 23 Reply Don, thanks for your comment. If you ever get a chance go to Old Car City or at least put it on your bucket list. This is a place where you can get lost for days. Jun 15th
48 Jun 23 Comment I like the image the way it is. The skier is obviously going very fast and I feel he needs the space to the right to move into. I like your stormy cloud vignette since it forces your eye right to the skier and the crowd behind him though soft certainly gives it depth. Great story Don. Jun 9th
48 Jun 23 Comment Jamie, I really like it too. I don't know if you compete, but I think this would do very well in an assigned creative category competition. Love the pastel colors! Jun 9th
48 Jun 23 Reply Jamie, thank you for your comment. You still have time to get an image in. The month is young. The more the merrierðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ Jun 7th
48 Jun 23 Reply Bev, your image catches my eye every time I go into DDG-48. It really POPS! I hope your club has a creative category because Honeymoon Gate is a real winner. If your are in the FCCC you should enter it in their creative. Jun 5th
48 Jun 23 Reply Thank you Lloyd, I really appreciate your comments. Jun 3rd
48 Jun 23 Reply Thank you for your comment. If you ever get a chance to go to Old Car City go, you would love it. You can't go more than a few feet with out unusual pictures jumping out at you. Jun 3rd
48 Jun 23 Reply Bev, I prefer the original also and the reason is reducing the size of the flower is reducing your visual impact and center of interest of the big flower. Jun 3rd
48 Jun 23 Comment Paul, awesome image of the Hummingbird and flower. Your high ISO to shoot at 1/4000 did an excellent job on stopping the Hummer with little or no grain. A friend of mine loves to shoot hummingbird but all he uses is 4 to 8 strobes. The only distracting element in the frame is the fuchsia in the top left soft. Very difficult shot and very well done. Jun 2nd
48 Jun 23 Comment Lloyd, this is a great human nature story of a loving parent and his children. Exposure of the three is right on and I love that rough huen walkway on the fishing pier. The sky is a tad bright but the lighting does accentuate the story. Jun 2nd
48 Jun 23 Comment Mary, I have been by there many times and I think you caught it perfectly. The sky, the boathouse and reflection instills a real WOW reaction. You can feel exactly what the people on the bottom edge are feeling and thinking. Love it. Jun 2nd
48 Jun 23 Comment Bev, this is absolutely beautiful. Your coloring of the Gate, the flower and texture of the background are just breathtaking and everything works. This has huge visual impact and interest! Super! Jun 2nd

71 Jun 23 Comment Really like this image Ted. Like Michele said, it really is a minimalistic landscape. I would do two minor edits. Remove the white building by the left stalk and the white building towards the right. Love Fort De Soto but not on a weekend. Super image Ted. Jun 9th
71 Jun 23 Reply John, I honestly really like it cropped both ways. I do have to work on the upper left sky a little. It was a picture perfect sky day which almost never happens to me. Thanks for the comments and suggestions. Jun 6th
71 Jun 23 Comment John and Michele, you wonder why I use 9 shot HDR. In some images you might not see much difference, while for others more exposures may create smoother tonal transitions or show more detail. Sounds good huh? The truth is that I have one camera dedicated and ready to do HDR ready to use at a seconds notice with no thought except tweaking F-Stop or ISO. Also with lightning fast computers to process I see no reason to cut it back. Just me. Jun 6th
71 Jun 23 Comment John, love this pano image. I think the beautiful Shrine pops because of the pale sky above and the light tan foreground below. Very good in contrast. The image is tack sharp and has nice balance. The people in the image do not bother me at all in fact they are a plus. They make it real. Very nice image. Jun 5th
71 Jun 23 Reply Better Theresa? Thank you for the suggestion. For competitions I always go back and forth with my wife and she sees things that I miss at times. Also toned down the blue slightly for Nigels suggestion. Thank you all. Jun 4th
71 Jun 23 Reply Nigel, thank you for your comments. Looking at the blue above the clouds in the upper lest absolutely does look too deep blue. Will go back to my 9 images and try to adjust it out. Jun 3rd
71 Jun 23 Comment Nigel, I feel I am looking at an Ansel Adams print. Super sky! The surrounding area compliments the subject. Wouldn't change a thing. Well done. Jun 2nd
71 Jun 23 Comment Mike, I really like your compositional crop of this image. It is simple but elegant! I think the somewhat like tonal qualities really makes it. I know you said it is not tack sharp but I think the slightly soft pilings go very well with the mood of the whole image. Like it a lot! Jun 2nd
71 Jun 23 Comment Theresa, beautiful Panorama! Very natural tonality. 18 images show me extreme technical proficiency in your stitiching. Look at all those falls, just beautiful! Jun 2nd
