The image is very well done but I have to agree with Sharon, the blue stroke doesn't work for me. Because the entire background is stark white, I believe that either a solid black or maybe dark gray would work better but I find the blue somewhat deceiving and that could be my eyes. |

Very nicely done photo. Excellent example of catching some street photography. Love the very well defined textures of the cabinetry, etc. and the bright colors of what I believe is the rug. |

This is a great image of the solitude of our times. Here on the east coast things are just starting to open up so we'll see where that goes. Apparently last week Wakodahatchee opened up and we've had nothing but rain since.

You could start your own game farm with these three. I must tell you I am so jealous of people who can create this kind of image in their own mind and then execute it so perfectly. |

Barbara, this is a really creative piece of work; however, I must agree with Nick. I think you have several options here. I love our original with just the flower on the black background. I also love the center alone of this image without the extra background
I find the "stamens" (I think that's what they're called) on the right side of the background on this image a bit too overpowering and drawing interest away from the center.
The bottom line ...beauty is in the eye of the beholder....and in the end it is a beautiful piece of work that could just use a bit of tweaking. |

This image tells a very interesting story and is extremely well done. The added bonus is your own story describing the festival. Thank you for sharing. |

Being a transplanted New Yorker, I'm so familiar with these fellows and miss them. That being said, I do find the image a bit confusing. One doesn't know what to look at first and the vendor almost gets lost in the confusion. I do like Joe's rendition a bit better. "Thanks for the memories" |

I tried removing the red chair with the simple step of using content aware fill which worked well but I then found the corner very empty. So I then selected the chair and adjusted the color balance only on the chair to a deeper color which may not be quite so obtrusive. Hope you feel it was a worthwhile effort. |

Great street scene. The clutter is almost an integral part of the image but just background enough to give a feel for the store and the subjects tell the story of a break between customers. Well done |

This flower is gorgeous but I do agree that darkening the background a bit would probably be an improvement.

Interesting image, bu I do agree with Shirley. A somewhat different angle might have been an improvement as I find the rod crossing the image is somewhat distracting as well. |

The members of this group must have telepathy with all the flowers this month - How nice.
This is a wonderful image. The capture of the center of the hibiscus with some of the yellow seeds spread across the image is right on, tack sharp, and an extremely attractive image.
Well done |

I visited Ankara with a very dear friend years ago, and this image brings back some very poignant memories. So true to life in some parts of the city and extremely well executed. |

Your improvement, for me, is far and away superior to the original. It reminds me of an image I took many years of a cathedral in Obidos, Portugal which is no longer in use. Shot it in color, converted to B&W and wound up having it printed in Petersen's Photographic. First thing I ever "sold" and made a whopping $25. |

I have one more I want to try because I can't find the negative to scan it.
But then again, right now I can't even find the picture. Think COVID is driving me nuts. You're Right!! |

Thanks. I had a lot of wonderful days as a young teenager at Jones Beach as we moved to LI when I was 14 but this was one of the best as I was with my first photography teacher who turned out to be a wonderful friend. |

Interesting image, but as the others have said, somewhat blurred. Suggest if you have it, run it through Topaz Sharpen AI. That filter does wonders. |

You are both right on re the distraction. And a very easy fix....content aware fill and then just adjust to tone down the line created. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. |

The point when I shot it was that I wanted the closest parts only to be sharp as I was focusing on the dominoes and the two hands in the foreground. Thank you for your review. |

I tried this crop which I preferred. The reasons being 1. I found the umbrella pole on the left side in your crop a little distracting and unnecessary; and 2., I felt the top of the umbrella enforced that this was outdoor dining; and 3. In this case I like the vibrance that the color rendition offers.
I do very much like the overall image and the story it tells and hope these subjective suggestions have some value. |

Overall a nice image. My only suggestion would be to try and remove those letters behind his left shoulder as I found myself trying to figure them out. Shouldn't be too difficult with some black "paint" |

The artist's position is great. I feel that the image itself is a little "bland' and could use a touch of "oomph" so I opened it up in Photoshop, increased the vibrance and contrast just a bit and came up with this. |

This is a great shot. Certainly documents what is going on in our world today. My only suggestion would be to add a bit of 'depth of color" or contrast to the subjects. I took it into photoshop and increased the contrast just a bit, toned it down in brightness and then added a touch of vibrance ever so lightly. I wonder if it made a positive difference. |
