I think you're right, Harley. There's such a thing as too much of a good thing. I think I overdid the shallow depth of field. Good catch! |

I'm with you, Mark. The change in the frame's shape really shows off the leaf differently. I really like how you interpreted the scene. |

A tighter crop sure gives the image a different feel. I think I really like it that way, Bruce. Thanks for bringing that up. |

Thank you, Leo. I think you're right. A darker background would certainly accentuate the leaves in the foreground. I appreciate your thoughts. |

Nice job, Bruce. I think we're all on the same page here. You normally don't want to shoot an animal from behind, but (butt?)....First of all, given the name of this bird, this is the perfect angle. Also, we have enough of the bird's face that it's not totally breaking the "rule" about photographing from behind. The bird's eye is tack-sharp, and the tilt of the head really adds a story to this scene. I also really like the patch of yellow on top of our friend's head that ties together with the aforementioned rump. The texture in the bird's feathers are also well represented. I really like what you've done with this scene. |

Wow, Harley. Would we call this Windy Night? I love the Vincent treatment you've given to a scene that was wonderful to begin with. There's enough detail in the buildings to retain the photographic quality, and the work you've done to the sky adds a fantasy layer that really completes the image. Oh, and dropping the moon in there? It's the cherry on the sundae. Really nicely done. |

I saw this image and thought "Wow, this looks like Mesquite Sand Dunes in Death Valley", then I read your description. You've captured one of my favorite places in the park. You chose the perfect time of day to be there and were rewarded with wonderful colors and shadows to really bring out the textures of the features in the sand. The tufts of vegetation add points of interest for our eyes to go to. The colors of the sand work very well with the colors in the bushes. The only change I would make is a minor one. I'd show a little more at the top of the frame so there's not as much tension with the bushes at the edge of the image. Other than that, I wouldn't change a thing, Mark. Well done! |

I really like the feeling this image evokes. The blur treatment gives it the impression of an oil painting you'd find at a beach house. I think you started with a strong photographic image, and took it in a really wonderful direction. I agree with the group that we might want to sacrifice some of the negative space in the bottom of the frame to include the tips of all the rods. The colors work very well together, and the shapes and textures of the clouds and the waves are complementary. The higher contrast of the boys' clothes adds some pop to the frame and gives us a center of interest. I think you handled this scene well and have produced a terrific image. Nice work, Lane! |

I really like the story this image tells. There are so many elements that come together to keep our eyes inside the frame. The lines in the ceiling bring our attention to the center of interest. The reflections in the floor add a level of interest to the image. The exposure and color palette work very well together. The emptiness of the scene gives the viewer a sense of serenity, but the few people add scale and points of interest that really add to the image. The structure and the lines coming out from the center almost look like the sun in the sky. This was very nicely captured, Leo. |
