John....seriously, it is hardly visible and for this you need to dismiss my comment? You and Peter are really piling on to me. |

I am entertained by your need to critique my review rather than make constructive suggestions about Ed's image. You comment proposes that if you live in the "West", the "point of impact" (cyclist) must appear first on the left of the image. (Left to Right Compositional Rule) I respectfully disagree with you despite your distinguished photographic achievements, My flip is recommended to allow the bright pathway which is a significant leading line, to provide a line for the eye to enter the image and arrive at the point of impact travelling up the Baroque Diagonal. It is taught that the "leading lines" are generally read by the viewer left to right and that does not always require the subject matter to be located on the left or be travelling left to right unless it is providing the leading line. |

Ella, you have developed an unique style and an exceptional ability to produce these excellent still lifes. You should consider publishing as folio of some of your better images. This particular image is not my favorite as the area to the left side of the image is empty of detail and seems unbalanced. Also, by your standards, the glass's rims seem a bit blown out. |

Ed, this is a great capture but suffers from the same tonal value throughout. According to your design, I recommend you consider leaving the rider as is but darken the area by - 2stops but leaving the road unchanged as a leading line. I also think you could consider flipping it horizontally . Please see my very rough suggestions below. |

Ian, Owls make such fine B&W subjects. The depth of field effecting the focus on the beak is a problem. Next time try f/8, use spot focus, focus on the most forward element of the bird (Beak) and let the depth of field deliver the rest of the bird sharp |

Peter, A very fine image and processed perfectly. That collapsed snow bank is a bit of a dominant feature/distraction. Have you consider the impact of cropping it out or cloning a repair? |

hi John, Nice composition that has a peaceful & serene sense to it. I think the clouds can be enhanced through Curves or adding clarity as they have great potential to be a dominant feature of this image. Possibly consider darken the water before the posts to enhance the light on the horizon. |

Hi Susan, I do commend you for the compositionbut I think it has been over processed. I would recommend an experiment of taking the original RAW file straight into Silver Effex and apply a filter. I find that if I work it in both the results can become too crunchy. |
