Nicely converted to highlight the Backlight and add Drama. |

I prefer V2. I like how you have brought the shadows out and have more of an idea of the scene through the window. In V!, the wagon tends to lend itself to making it feel busy, but you have corrected it in V2. Also, bringing out the shadows on the top has helped frame the view. In V1 I was not sure what I was seeing. |

This is absolutely wonderful! Your crop, the B&W tones, and the focus on the man all work so well. So much to look at and so much to see. Perfect!
You know, when you get used to your crop sensor, you will be back to doing whatever you like best. We switched to the Olympic Mirrorless because of weight when hiking. Use it exclusively. I can handhold up to 2 sec. |

A great photo...to me, the expression on the boy is priceless. You could have a totally different picture by cropping left, cropping her out and focusing on the boy running. The texture on the brick house makes it so much more interesting than if it was just a house with siding.The flag and the reflection add to the house's interest. |

Awww...what a cutie. I like how you have converted it to B&W and softened the focus on your wife. The tones are wonderful. I might do a few things to bring Cookie out a bit. I might draw a small dodge line around her eyes to add to contrast a tiny bit and add a little bit of texture to her fur. Nitpicky, I know for a wonderful shot. |

Interesting...you don't think the tones are too harsh? |

Thank you, Vincent. I, too, like the tones of the B&W. The sun was harsh and I thought that B&W would soften it. |

Thanks, Dave. And I waited. I knew he would take off...and he did...in the opposite direction! Oh well, the story of Bird Photography. |

Thank you, Melanie. Are you thinking a color more like the original? |

And that is your vision...your photo, your vision. I had an instructor who's first question was, "What was your vision?" then he would comment. It is a lovely photo. |

Thank you! The dahlias are just the gift that keeps giving. I am experimenting each day with new ways to post process. |

You did a wonderful job of photographing this Rebecca. With the stamens in the Center of the photo, my eye goes right to them and they look like candles standing tall... a very nice effect. I think it looks great just as it is, but if you wanted to play with crops, you could crop so the stamens are a bit more to the left. I tried it, what do you think? A different feel, but I do like yours. |

This is a beautiful rendition of a magnolia. You have changed the feel by lightening the flower, as well as the background, yet keeping the center sharp. I like it. Beautifully done. |

This is beautifully done, Melanie. I love the contrast of the purple iris and the soft green background. The details on the petals are sharp. I have no suggestions for the photograph. If I were to be nitpicky, I would like to see a different height for some of the flowers in the middle...kind of a triangle...high in the center, then gradually working out in height to the lowest on the ends. But that would be a different photo and this is lovely. |

Nicely done with the contrasting of the Background with the soft pink tones of the dahlia. Because of the overall softness, it looks to me to be an F2.6. Two minor suggestions...perhaps darken the center a bit and lighten the petals near the center. In NIK, you could use Viveza to brighten and put a bit more focus on the Center. I think I might take the water drops out, as well as the spots in the Center petal. This is a beautiful dahlia. |

Thank you for your input, Dick. The center of the dahlia in focus is another concept. I have several photos of this Dahlia, with different lenses and apertures, as well as stacking, but it is this image that spoke to me. It is the dreaminess of the Velvet 56 that appeals. My goal was to have the eye go to the petal curves, and reviewing the photo, I think I would like to see all the s curves in focus. I have taken a couple of courses with Kathleen Clemons. She is known for the soft look of Lensbaby and recommends that the front of the flower be in focus and the soft focus moves back. Lensbaby, truly is a personal choice. |

Thank you, Rebecca. I wanted to focus on the s in the center. |

A beautiful photo, Dick. The colors are so vibrant. I would like to see a little more on the right, to balance the center. |
