20 Feb 24 Comment A creative idea. I think I would like to see the border extending down further, so that all of the wires are enclosed in the frame. Wonderful neon colors. Feb 11th

20 Feb 24 Comment What a Creative Idea! Happy Valentine's Day! Feb 9th
20 Feb 24 Comment A tryptic composite well done. I see the missing puck, only because Angela pointed it out. Now that my attention has been brought to it, I think it would have given more continuity to your story. Feb 9th
20 Feb 24 Comment A wonderful composite. Trading the Background makes it such a meaningful piece, yet it does not detract from the man and his pensiveness. Well done! Feb 9th

39 Feb 24 Reply Thank you, Vincent. I understand what you are saying. Feb 10th
39 Feb 24 Reply Thanks, Kathryn for taking the time.. I see what you are saying and like your crop and tonality. When converted to B&W the bottom left trees looked oversharpened. I think I got carried away with softening them and never rechecked the rest of the tones. I usually look at the Zones in SilverEfex Pro. Feb 10th
39 Feb 24 Comment You have captured the lonely tree out in the fog. I like the High Key tones of the fog, contributing to the solitude. Feb 9th
39 Feb 24 Comment That is a wonderful catch. I like the movement of his pouncing. I would suggest giving him a bit more room on the left and cropping down on the top a touch. He contrasts well in B&W, but I prefer the contrast of the green against his intricate coat. His head is spectacular and a portrait shot would look great in B&W. Feb 9th
39 Feb 24 Reply Thank you, Kathryn. Actually, to me, the story is about the sky and the incoming storm. I chose it for the sky and not the trees. I did want the attention on the darkening sky.That being said, the tree highlights can be brighter, but because they were quaking Aspen, it looked over sharpened to me. This is a good example about not getting the message across and the viewer seeing a different story. Please talk more about the conversion being flat. Feb 9th
39 Feb 24 Reply Thank you, Vincent. I don't quite understand what you mean about "flattened". Can you describe it more? Thanks. Feb 9th
39 Feb 24 Comment I am glad you made it out on the rocks, as I like the composition and lines of the rocks. Just enough texture to add interest. Well done. The sky looks a bit noisy and you might want to denoise. Is it still functioning? Feb 6th
39 Feb 24 Comment An interesting bit of history. I like how the parts are contrasted in the color version. You might want to bring out the textures and contrast more in the Black and White version. I would darken the head frame. It is an interesting piece in the background that doesn't need to fade into the background. Also, what do you think of removing the tree in the far right. It is a distraction to the head frame. Feb 6th

I really like the tones of this photo and how you brought out the textures of the mill buildings. I like how the grasses and the trees frame the buildings. My only suggestion would be to clean up the right side tall grass. They are high enough that they distract from the view of the waterfall. Also, you might want to remove the electric wires.

39 Feb 24 Comment Another spectacular street scene. The tones are good and I like how you blurred the background so that the figures add to the story but do not distract the eye from the main figures. You might want to take out the figure in the upper right. In the 70's, Laugh In had a running skit where Ruth Buzzie, dressed as an old lady, much as your character, would sit on a park bench. Arte Johnson, dressed as a ratty old man would sit down and sidle up to her. In gross old man leering, he would say, "Would you like a Walnetto?" The scene would always end with her hitting him on the head with her purse, much like this one. Your comment to Jerry, just brought it all back. Great photo. Feb 6th
