My wife makes fairy gardens and we have a gnome door at the bottom of a tree in the back yard with a little mail box. See, it's contagious. We have smurfs sitting in a circle around a Buddha. You guys have inspired me to make some images closer to home. |

Hey Andrew, I see what you mean. I do not want to assume that you use Photoshop but, should I just go into the crop and make the right parallel with the girder, or should I use like the geometry setting in PS. Also, since I am a returning user of PS, is there a way to grab each little pane of sky, or will I have to select each one separately? Thanks for your comment. |

Cool! I showed my wife your image and she started laughing. she said, "Look a photographer having fun". I shoot alone so she does not know the fun I have. So, your image is great. I have wanted to try something like this. so lighting and exposure is good, My first thought was that a prehistoric scene should have fog. and a Brontosaurus. I guess there are ways to simulate fog. I have seen sheets of cotton. Anyway, my other thought was if you had more Broccoli, you could space it out to look more like a jungle. Maybe a Pterodactyl hanging from a string and then clone our the string in PS. I am having more fun then I have in a while. Maybe around the back you could have Potatoes for rocks and boulders. Actually your image is perfect just like it is. Ok, back down to earth. Thanks for making my morning. |

Yes, it looks like the "Wild Blue Yonder". |

Hey Catherine, wow, I can't believe the luck you had coming across these two in a meadow. The setting is perfect and the fog was more than you could hope for. There will be those who will want a little more detail of the faces, but I think it is perfect. In some of my fog images, I have used the highlight slider in Adobe Camera Raw to bring out some trees in the background that were not visible. Sometimes it helps sometimes it does not. As I said, I think your image was perfect. |

Interesting image. Without seeing the original I can only guess. So I will not get involved in the endless debate over changing skys. My shooting buddy has a green screen and puts an ocassional Grim Reeper in some of his beach shots. I don't know? Anyway it is a nice image that is clear and sharp. My Dad and I used to fly and this image makes me miss it. To me a good image is one that evoks emotions, and this one does that for me. Thanks for sharing. |

Hey Haru, I agree with Ata, however, this is going to sound strange but, The image just did not look wet enough. The rocks were wet, but to me they did not look wet. So I put the image in PS (a trick I learned from you) and opened in Silver Efex Pro and here is my take. Hope you did not mind |

Hey Haru, I really enjoy your method of evaluating images. This image in my opinion is very subjective (you know like most images). I really like what you did with the tones and the big tree can stay or go in my opinion. So in the original, the forground was darker than everything else, mostly because this part of the park was hit by a very big forest fire last year. I wanted to show this. The rain clouds were my Birthday present and ISO 640 added some grain (or noise as the younger photographers would say). your take on this seems to be sharper and the mountains have more separation. I accomplished my goal of posting this: i have learned some new technics. Thanks Haru. |

Wow, nice image and nice treatment. I get the total mood of a lonely old building fighting for its life. It looks like you shot it at night, but I can see you did not. I took a picture of an old hardware store at the beginning of the year and a couple of weeks ago I was up that way again, and there was a vacant field where the hardware store was. A tight crop works really well here. Your project might make a nice coffee table book, or a show somewhere in Bergen. |

interesting question. I was trying a technic I learned from a street photographer for low light and rapidly changing conditions. I set the ISO to automatic with a cap of 640 and set the shutter at 1/125 and the aperture at f11. for some reason I punched it up to f20. I wanted the forground and everything else in focus. I was shooting with a 28-150 zoom and I usually stay away from the higher f numbers. I probably should have shot numerous shots of this but from my film days, I try to make my shots count. It was crazy, when I got home I noticed I took over 600 images over two days. That was a new world record for me. let me know if that helped to get inside my head. I used to use hyperfocal distance scales but new Nikon lenses don't always have distance and apreature scales. |

Cool image. Everyday when I am wearing a mask in public I try to make my emotions more obvious but it is very hard. So is she smiling, or mad. With the sunglasses, you can't even get any help from the eyes. Very indicative of the times. Without the mask everything would be different. I am glad you took out the background stuff that was distracting (looks like a crop not a clone). Great depth of field and good exposure. I did not feel the legs added or took away from the image, so, I like what you did. Thanks for sharing. |

Hey Tracy, this is one of those images where I grapple with if it should be in color or Black and White. It is a good image in color or black and white. I like the leading lines of the stream and I like the clouds. I put your image in Adobe Camera Raw and only used the texture and clarity sliders and then opened it in Silver Efex Pro. I was just playing around with it. hope you didn't mind it. In the end I think I liked your take on it in black and white. Are those holes in the forground. I was wondering if maybe someone was trying to dig up something. Nice image. Maine is one of the few states I have not been to and now I want to go. |
