By the way, you can buy motion sensor-type equipment for the camera that will shoot lightning for you. It strikes and the picture is taken. |

Hi Ally: Ditto on what everyone else said. Gorgeous image - right time, right place, right light, right image stacking, right photographer. |

Joan: Between your image and mine, it looks like we were sitting at any city's intersection. This actually should touch the viewer as happening right in their hometown.
I like the addition of lightning; however, I initially thought there were too many strikes. When I finally found your image, it made me think of Ghostbusters when the Ghost, Goser, flings lightning from her fingertips. (Actually, I had to look it up, but I had the image in my head.) LOL.
Your image is definitely more interesting than mine. Good job. |

Barbara. Your crop is exceptional for this image. If you printed and showed this, everyone would think it was a painting in pastels. This was a great take on the assignment of weather. I don't have any suggestions for change. It's perfect just the way it is. |

All the images seem similar with these small clips. The best way to see the difference is to click on all of them and put them side by side. |

Hi Carole: These clouds do look like they are ready to brew up something. So, there is a feeling of anticipation. No flyer wants to travel through dangerous storms to come. I do like Connie's contrast, but I would like to see it grayer in the sky and on the wing. It is too blue for me. Grays would make it more ominous.
I used Joan's crop to start with. I started out to list all the steps I took to get it here, but it wound up having thirteen major steps with multiple manipulations within the steps. I've attached my image. |

Bob: I think I could easily extend the right side with a canvas and cloning. Also, your suggestions about darkening the grass and lightening the leg are well taken. I will do these when I have some time. Thank you. |

Hi Ricarda: This does make Disney World appear serene and sparsely occupied. I didn't even know there was a garden there. Nice shot and unique to what I usually see.
The only other suggestion I have is to either clone out or crop out the building on the right side. |

Hi Howard: This is the perfect fireworks picture. It has stars, colored smoke, beautiful clear fireworks, and silhouettes of people enjoying the event. You were so lucky that one of them didn't move. Like the others, I think the tree on the left-hand lower corner could easily be removed, as it is a little distracting. I always love your work. |

Bob: This is a "Wow" shot for sure. It's sharp and tells a story. Love seeing the bull's tongue hanging out. The only thing that bothers me is the blur of the bull's right hind foot. Since all the rest of the shot is sharp and clear, I'd try to take away the dust. It looks like there is enough of the bull's leg that's clear, this should work. It's a simple fix.
I'd also like to know the answers to all of Howard's questions regarding camera settings. I've been to Cheyenne Days and that arena is big.
I have another question for anyone. When I was there, the policy was that all pictures taken for public use was forbidden. Would this image work for exhibits or art shows? I still have many shots I'd love to process from there. |

Hi Peter: I really like this shot, and no, it doesn't look like anyone caught the ball. However, it was a valiant effort. The main critique I have is that if you frame this image the player at the bottom will look like his foot is amputated. If you have more room at the bottom, I'd add some. If you don't, create your own in a canvas. I think that would be fairly easy since it's mostly grass, and you have another shoe for detail. |

Hi Howard: I guess I wasn't thinking too much about a straight-on perspective, but you are right. When I take myself through the sunroof, it's usually so I can see everything in 360 degrees. |
