95 Feb 23 Comment Thanks Tom! Looking good - I will print this one. Feb 20th
95 Feb 23 Reply Thank you Pat for your suggestions Feb 20th
95 Feb 23 Comment I also like the detail of the wrinkles and the texture of the skin. I agree that one notices the fact that the eyebrow and the skin at the right of the eye are not as sharp. I wonder if using a tripod would have helped the sharpness. Feb 17th
95 Feb 23 Comment Hi Keith, very nice image. I find it very challenging to get all of a flower in focus! And I agree that in the end it is a matter of personal preference to keep petals more blurry or try full sharpness. I really like the darker background than the one in the original, brings out the bright colors very nicely. Feb 16th
95 Feb 23 Comment Hi Tom, I really like the subject. I agree that the green background distracts from the subject. I am also wondering about the small f/45 aperture - is that correct? i am new to macro but thought usually it tends to be more open. Feb 14th
95 Feb 23 Reply Thank you Carol! I will retry with more of the flower and some water drops. I will have to learn how to add texture.. Feb 7th
95 Feb 23 Comment Hi Carol, I am very impressed by this photo - it is beautiful, even if not completely sharp if one gets closer. So to me it is a lesson in focusing on the composition and the whole and not necessarily seeking perfection in all angles. In this case the ethereal look really works for me, maybe also because the petals are white.
P.S. And thanks for the heads up on the class.

95 Feb 23 Comment Hi Stuart, the frost all around is quite impressive, seems almost abstract with the glowing pink. You can almost feel the texture and I really like the different shapes of the frost. Feb 6th
95 Feb 23 Reply Thank you Stuart, yes! Next time some drops of water will enhance flower photo I agree. Also thanks for solving the mystery, I was wondering what I was doing wrong that I could never fit larger flowers in macro shot… Feb 6th

96 Feb 23 Reply Thank you Cheryl, I like all your changes. Feb 18th
96 Feb 23 Comment Hi Bob, I have to say I also prefer the color shot. The sun reflected on the right side is beautiful. The scenery is magnificent and I like the different shades of copper/browns. It is a great image of the Canyon either way. Feb 16th
96 Feb 23 Comment I also like this shot; I am drawn by the colors and by the reflections on the water. Not much to add - a great example of a city scape at night. Inspires me to take more pictures of the Miami skyline! Feb 16th
96 Feb 23 Comment Hi Dan, definitely a compelling image. Made me think of a car that could come alive like in an animation movie!yes, probably a spooky animation movie. I like the what you did with the rusted colors in the car and the stormy sky. I wonder whether the tree branches really add that much, maybe worth trying just the car and the sky. Feb 16th
96 Feb 23 Comment Hi Kate, as others mentioned I also liked very much the storytelling underlying this image. You caught that magnificently. I feel for you on the challenge of getting a great story in an image where the colors are grey and flat… maybe adding sharpness and removing the muck might help. Or maybe not, but still this is a nice image and I enjoyed it as is. Feb 16th
96 Feb 23 Reply Thank you Kate for your comments. Feb 16th
96 Feb 23 Reply Thanks Bob, the colors are more golden. I'll try cutting off the branches on the left and keeping the 4 palm trees. Feb 7th
96 Feb 23 Comment Thanks Dan, I use LR and I will explore options. Feb 6th
96 Feb 23 Comment Thank you Dan, glad it spoke to you.
yes it is about the emotion!
I also love the tropics - the colors and the moods
are so intense. And I am still learning about the R5!
I have also been wondering whether to
take out the leaves in the far left.
