Hi Margaret. As a frustrated photographer of my own pets, I applaud the outstanding composition and expression on the dog's face. Really captures his/her personality. I personally think this is absolutely high key- overwhelmingly exposed "to the right" but still including information throughout the majority of the histogram. There are still details in the whites and deep enough shadows where they need to be. The other photo you included loses many details, so possibly crosses the line between high key and over-exposed for this subject. You have inspired me to work on a few pet portraits this month. |

Hi, Lance. I remember those days as a small boy fishing off whatever structure I could find. I like that you can't see any of their faces- it helps leave the mystery intact. Are they catching anything, are they not, do they even care? The one emotion I get for some reason is a bit of judgment from the boy in the middle- just the way his hands are in his pockets and the set of his shoulders- he feels like the ringleader to me. Well exposed and a great candid shot of these boys being boys. |

Hi, Mark. Excellent job with a slower shutter speed on a moving boat. Luck is one thing, but this couldn't have been captured without solid technique- well done. The dark blocky building on the left is an interesting contrast with the curvy and delicate tower on the right. It looks to me like the vertical lines are off just a hair, but it is otherwise well composed. When you were processing, was there any detail left in the shadows on the blocky buildings to bring out? When I am shooting night scenes, I have started to expose a little more for the shadows, especially with a lot of lights. Unless you are exposure bracketing it is hard to get all of the information in one frame, and losing some detail in the whites feels more natural to my eye if you can retain some shadow detail. Very nice image as is, though. |

Hello, Adi. My mind always tries to make stories out of woodland photos, with the trees as the main characters. This one is all about the shape of the trees and their position in the forest for me. The black and white treatment gives me a winter vibe, and implies these trees stumbling out of the darkness after a long journey and reaching for the light and warmth of the sun. I like the small one one the right of the frame being set apart from the rest- glad you included it in the frame. A very interesting woodland vignette. |

Good morning, Mike. Well done to see and use the natural light for a very clean composition. I love that you filled the frame with the darker version. Plenty of texture and a nice fresh cluster of flowers. Nice tonal range. Interesting to see the individual petals shading the other petals within the same flower. So much to study in this image. |

Good morning, Debasish. I agree with all of the comments above. The image is very engaging- I spent a lot of time looking at it and contemplating rainy days and cabin fever. Strong composition and technically well exposed. Just enough motion in the rain drops to supply some energy. |
