12 Jul 23 Reply Carole: I am currently a member of Summit Art and one of our members, Ramon Mcgee always points that out on our images. I think you know Ramon. He has been associated with several big deal magazines, has done photography for many years, and is certified by PPA as a judge. You could easily ask Ramon where this rule came from. Jul 28th
12 Jul 23 Reply Thanks Carole. Vignette has never really been defined for me. Jul 28th
12 Jul 23 Reply Thanks Connie. I definitely agree that the vignette is too dark. Jul 22nd
12 Jul 23 Comment Ally: Nice job of panning and getting the rider, flag and horse's eye fairly sharp. Since these were all along the same plane, it was a perfect opportunity for a great shot. I love all the movement. An action shot does not need to be sharp throughout. In fact, I have a bull rider's shot that is all blurred. My camera group really liked that it was all a meta fore for the blur the rider sees during the ride. Great rodeo shot. Jul 19th
12 Jul 23 Comment Hi Barbara: I love your picture. I can imagine it as a fabric for a colorful July 4 dress. I really like the repeating patterns and agree that the white beads are needed to break up the pattern. Great thinking. Jul 19th
12 Jul 23 Comment Hi Connie: I can image your doily set-up as a lovely table arrangement. I like your choice of items, and the only change I'd do is to take some of the brightness off the pearls especially on the sides and back. Otherwise I like your red, white and blue. Jul 19th
12 Jul 23 Comment Hi Carole: What is more American than the red, white and blue. I never see our flag without my heart going into my throat. I can't say much more than the group has already spoken about your image. It's beautiful. There is one rule that was broken here. I think I mentioned it before with most of our group disagreeing with me. Technically, the flagpole should not come right out of the corner. Otherwise, it's perfect. Jul 19th
12 Jul 23 Comment Hi Joan: Patience pays off. You managed to capture what you wanted along with a car and man walking into your frame. You did a wonderful job converting this image from the original. The way you handled the blown out white worked well. I saw Barbara's crop, and frankly, either is very good, but I think I prefer yours as the space doesn't seem as confining to the subject. I like the texture of the cobblestone street. It helps to tranfer me to a foreign country. Jul 19th
12 Jul 23 Reply Hi Ally: I think the lighter carpeting might look better without so much vignett. I didn't realize it was so dark until I saw it here. Jul 19th
12 Jul 23 Reply Thank you, Barbara. Woody is well loved by Annie. Annie is well loved by us. Jul 19th
12 Jul 23 Reply Thank you, Joan. Jul 19th
12 Jul 23 Reply Thank you, Carole. Jul 19th

23 Jul 23 Comment Hi Richard: You visited our group 12 this month. I just wanted to say I wish I'd thought of the elements in your image. I struggled to do a non-traditional image for July. Your image is so well done with the perfect light, composition, angle, and delightful colors. I would also like to take the class to which you refer. Thanks for visiting. Jul 19th

37 Jul 23 Comment Hi Ricarda: This image looks like a successful attempt to photograph three different areas, front, middle and back. Nicely done. The fog brings a sense of sorrow to me like the loss of a lover, the end of a trip, or just dreading the end of a beautiful day. I'm sure everyone could give a different interpretation of your image. That's art! Jul 19th
37 Jul 23 Comment Hi Helen: The empire State Building stands tall among the other dark buildings showing off our country's colors. I also feel there is a lean in the building that is easily corrected. Nice image. Hope you enjoyed your plays. Jul 19th
37 Jul 23 Comment Hi Howard: The interesting thing about your shooting angle and the lack of a floor makes the juggler look like he's floating upward - quite a feat while juggling with a torch on his nose. I'm surprised you captured this at 1/100 second and 800 ISO. It's sharp throughout. Give him a floor to stand on, and this image is a great capture. Jul 19th
37 Jul 23 Comment Hi Bob. What more can I say, great image. I love the abstractness of it, and yet the subject is clearly seen. I also like the green hat, which added to the color balance. Love it. Jul 19th
37 Jul 23 Comment Hi: Peter: I like your image a lot. I would add some contrast and delete the lights, but overall, I think your editing was exceptional. The skies have more personality and are probably the reason the wheel is stopped. I don't agree with adding more water. My eyes first went to the Ferris Wheel and then the boats. What a surprise they were. I love images that make me think and find my balance. Jul 19th
