71 Jan 24 Reply I like the monochrome better and so the 16:9 crop, but I agree with Tom you need to review the image because in this way the people are lost.

71 Jan 24 Reply Tom,

thank you so much for looking and commenting on my image. About the wires, I understand they create some "distraction" but they are also part of the "real word" there and to me they can just help to tell the story.

71 Jan 24 Comment Thank you Mike, Theresa and Nigel for sharing your thought and the kind word of appreciation of this image. Theresa, indeed I placed the tower a little bit asymmetrical on purpose. Nigel I see your point and agree about removal of the chain. Cropping the image from the left however would crop away half of the person and it would not work (I tried before posting it).

71 Jan 24 Comment What a wonderful scenery Nigel. I agree with the others that the human presence helps to give a sense of scale. I think you may consider to crop to 16:9 since there is nothing going on in the sky and it just creates an empty space and does not contribute much to the the image. I also would consider for the reason above this image may work better in black and white since it is almost "monochrome" with all that green and the empty sky.

71 Jan 24 Comment Mike, I really like the atmosphere you captured with this image. All the sheeps and the lamb have a great details and are sharp. I was tempting to tell you to give more space to the animals in all directions. But after seeing Nigel cropping I think this is the way to go to create a more intimate image.

71 Jan 24 Comment A wonderful scenery Ted and you have captured well it. I agree with all Theresa comments about the contrast and the balance of colors. I also believe that cropping the image a little from the left would create a more balance one (you can crop to the point where the river starts on the left).

Good work

71 Jan 24 Comment This is an excellent picture of the Milky way Theresa. I like the way the Milky Way appears to originated from the clouds. I think the the horizon is not straight (or at least this is what the impression we got. I agree the two strong lights are creating distraction and you may want to consider to clone them out. I also find the bright bush in the foreground distracting because is the only think with some details in the foreground.

71 Jan 24 Comment A very nice example of using selective focus that helps to give a sense of depth to the scenery. The Astor has wonderful details. To be a little picky I find that there is asymmetry between the left and the right part of the image. You placed the flower in the middle, in this way I would expect to see a balanced image on both sides. In your image the left border is almost empty compared to the right. Maybe moving a little on the left would have created a more balance image? Good work regardless.

Jodphur is also known as the Blue City and, from the historical prospective, is one of the most important city in Rajhastan.

92 Jan 24 Comment Patti this is a very nice image telling the story regarding connection between the dog and the woman. I like the face of the woman in the background that appears not approving too much what she is seeing. Excellent work

92 Jan 24 Comment Hi Susan, to me this image has some potential but I agree with Patti it would be better to have more of the child since this is "the subject". Two thirds of your image are dedicated to the bags and feet. I understand they can help the story but in my opinion they take away from the subject.

92 Jan 24 Reply Hi Patti, thank you for taking the time to comment my photo and for your kind words. Indeed, your comment highlight one of the thing I discovered traveling there. People still leaving with an idea of "real socialization", not only one on the phone.

92 Jan 24 Comment Marianne this is a well composed image. However, I agree with Lou is hard to tell what is the story here. It looks like the guy standing is looking at the camera and not interacting with the other customer. On the the other hand the guy at the bar is looking somewhere in front and can't understand what is the interaction he may have. The image is sharp and presenting a great scale of grays.

92 Jan 24 Comment Jeff, I like your image, it tells a story. The fact one person is wearing a mask, also remind us the time we are living. Interesting the guy in the middle is staying far from her and the one back to him too, while all others are pretty much close to each others. I personally have a problem with the "pano" format for street images, it doesn't make enough room for the scenery. But this is a personal taste.

92 Jan 24 Comment I agree with Chuck this is definitively a "street photo". The fact the two girls are one on the phone, the other reading from the phone while the guy is looking for something in the back pack is telling a story. I believe too a picture like this would be better in black and white.The color is not adding much to the story.Best wishes

92 Jan 24 Comment The picture of the car is interesting and well designed. The STOP sign and the car moving fast create a story. Interesting story with the guy. I have to say I personally find the guy portrait a better image. I like the composition, his expression and the sunglasses. I also like the way you frame the image. The house is creating a contrast with the appearance of this guy.
