23 Oct 24 Comment Thanks Marilyn, I agree a different crop might improve the image. Oct 24th
23 Oct 24 Comment Another interesting photo from Santosh, thanks! Very colorful, the blues look iridescent against the black. The red and yellow puffy things have lost some texture- processing or not capture in original? Oct 16th
23 Oct 24 Reply Thanks Jill, I was lucky to have such a beautiful specimen growing in our front yard. For this image I used used a total of five images (probably overkill but so easy to do why not?), each focused on a different part of the subject, from the closest to the lens to to the furthest. Tripod is required and I used an open aperture in an attempt to blur the wrinkles in the backdrop. Also a light vignette was added. As an after thought, image better with flower facing right? Oct 16th
23 Oct 24 Comment Hi Julia, another great image! The butterfly looks to be in perfect condition and all technical aspects of the shot are fine. One thing that might slightly improve the image is to clone out the far left flower stem and then crop a tad from the left. Oct 10th
23 Oct 24 Comment Hi Marilyn, interesting shot, especially the lighting. Well done - being able catch the interior illumination (almost looks like a candle flame) and the outside daylight. However for me, if there were no people outside it would be a stronger image. Oct 8th
23 Oct 24 Comment An African safari, every photographer should try to do one in their lifetime and this photo illustrates why. Good shot, something that must have been very exciting to see in person. Oct 8th
23 Oct 24 Comment Jill, very nice sunset scene- I like the composition with the sail boat and rocks in the foreground and the horizon is perfectly horizontal. It is just a tad too saturated for my taste but that's personal opinion. Oct 8th

85 Oct 24 Reply Very nice, thanks. Oct 16th
85 Oct 24 Comment Greetings Gordon, good to have you joining our group.

Very nice sunset photo, beautiful sky and good tones reflect from the water. As Pete has pointed out, the image is lacking something in the water, a boat with a trailing wake would have been ideal.

85 Oct 24 Comment Alex, nice train shot and I like to see the foothills with the shadows. The sky area is a little scare as other have stated. I have another thought, if you have an opportunity to revisit this location make a shot lower AGL to include that trestle, the structure looks very interesting. Oct 10th
85 Oct 24 Comment Hey Don, glad to hear you like the new drone, I think they are amazing devices. I love these kinds of images, especially bridges.

Your image has good exposure, focus, and post processing but it falls short on composition. A great shot for bridge as subject, is to wait for a large container ship to pass under the bridge and make the shot as close to the bridge as possible.. I'm planning such a shot at Port Newark (NJ) and to help with the timing, there are apps for the phone that track all ships in the world real time, you'll know when a ship approaching before actually seeing it.

85 Oct 24 Comment Nice shot, I agree with most of the comments above. I would try to increase the color temp slightly with a white balance adjustment of +5% or so, the whites would not be so hard. Oct 10th
85 Oct 24 Comment I didn't quite understand the shot until I saw the original with autos and then I realized the scale. It is an amazingly intricate design when seen from above. I like muted blue tones and hope you do another shot with fountains flowing. Oct 10th
85 Oct 24 Reply Thanks Lisa and there will be one or two more from this place in future months! (Redo above) Oct 10th
85 Oct 24 Reply Hi Lou, thanks for your comments. I did redo the image based on comments such as your point regarding the sharpness. (See image above) Oct 10th
85 Oct 24 Reply Thanks Drema for your comments. I made a redo image taking in to consideration a few of your points. Any better? Oct 10th
85 Oct 24 Reply Thanks Bev for dropping by and a look! Oct 8th
85 Oct 24 Reply You point out exactly the conflict I felt between detail of a boat or inclusion of more scene. I liked the look of the funky port holes in the cabin and what looks like wood atop of the steel hull and from a further distance the details were not as noticeable. Oct 8th
85 Oct 24 Comment Definitely worth getting up so early for! Sounds quite challenging flying with so many other drones but the result is a beautiful shot of some very interesting geological features. Oct 8th
85 Oct 24 Comment Very colorful image providing a unique perspective of the umbrella decorations. Everything looks squared up and I like that there is one person in the scene to provide scale. Oct 8th
