3 Jun 22 Comment Thanks, LouAnn. I was able to tone down the white cord. Good idea. Cheers, John Jun 20th
3 Jun 22 Comment Thanks, Michael. I usually shoot RAW with my Nikon mirrorless and I have that capability on my iPhone 13 Pro, but in this case I shot jpeg. It would have gioven more dynamic range to have shot RAW though. Jun 11th
3 Jun 22 Reply Hi John, Yes, I would have liked more cords. Alas, this was the only board there. Interesting, I didn't realize it was possibly and army board. Jun 10th
3 Jun 22 Reply Hi Ruth,I'm glad my revisions, as suggested by Kieu-Hanh, improved the image. I toned down the white cord a little, but I can now see that needs more, which I'm happy to do. Good suggestion, thanks. Jun 10th
3 Jun 22 Reply Hi Tom, that's fantastic. I wonder how the event place got hold of this one.Yes, we have moved on, but I guess it had to start somewhere.Cheers! Jun 8th

3 Jun 22 Reply I agree, LouAnn, photography renders such diverse feelings and impressions, depending where you are. That's the beauty of it.And it's inspiring how we're able to share our thoughts openly in this group. Jun 7th

3 Jun 22 Comment This does look like a cross between a lighthouse and a water tower. For that reason, it makes a great subject. I find myself wanting to see more lighthouse, so I'm curious if you have any shots from a different point-of-view? Perhaps one without the plams in the foreground? Jun 7th
3 Jun 22 Comment Hi Mary Ann,

Thnak you for capturing my favorite flower so well. I really like the smooth bokeh in your image, which isolates the flower so well. I also like LouAnn's edits too.The class sounds very helpful.

3 Jun 22 Comment Hi Kieu-Hanh,

This is a very strong photojournalism image. It's well-balanced and shows humanity. I like how you've captured the shdows of the marine and the trees. I might suggest a slight crop on the right of the frame to keep the eye on the marine.

3 Jun 22 Comment I agree with Michael that this is great storytelling.You've captured communication between the woman and the birds. I feel that it might be even more intimate if you cropped out the bird to the far left of the frame and a little from behind the woman. Jun 7th
3 Jun 22 Comment Hi Michael,

With the reflection in the channel, I get the impression that a slice of sky has fallen off and landed between the boats. This makes the image so much stronger. I agree that perhaps the skys could be toned down a little, bu then again, it adds an almost surreal nature.

3 Jun 22 Comment Hi LuAnn,

This is such a beutiful image, full of tranquility. It belongs in National Geographic Magazine. I have to agree with the previous comments about preferring the orginal, even undedited. Th trees do seem to distract in this version. Also, the mist layer seems a little harsher than in the original.

3 Jun 22 Reply Hi Kieu-Hanh,

Thank you for your kind commnets and excellent suggestions, which I'm happy to apply. I tend to throw my images up there without due care and attention, so it's good to get this kind of feedback.

18 Jun 22 Comment I hand't thought of adding colors to panes, but I'll give that a go. Good suggestions, thanks. Jun 23rd
18 Jun 22 Comment Good idea to darken the door and window Ian. It does help identify the focal point. Thanks. Jun 20th
18 Jun 22 Comment For me, Jim, it looks very busy. I think it would be stronger if you cropped just around the grill.Perhaps even put a texture in the background that will make grill and frame stand out. Jun 13th

18 Jun 22 Comment I like the ffect and agree with Mike that it doesn't work as well on the statue. Just a thought - have you tried a version cloning out the statue? That way, the leading lines takes us to the house. Jun 13th
18 Jun 22 Comment This image really punches. I like the contrast between the vibrant flower and the plain background. I'm cruious how it would look if you lowered the opacity on the stroke? Jun 11th
18 Jun 22 Reply Thanks, Jim. Jun 11th
18 Jun 22 Comment Hi Mike,

I really like what you've done to transform this image. The graphic effect dramatizes the action of the bee chomping on the flower. By making it a graphic image, you have isolated the two important subjects, bee and flower, while reducing potential distractions. The pastel colors are very appealing too. Nice job!

18 Jun 22 Reply Mike,spot on! I see what you mean about the lampshade, which I didn't catch myself. That's the value of having seasoned photographers such as yourself critique our images. We're simply too close to them to notice all of the faults. You did a good job and the image is much-improved. Thank you. Jun 6th
