71 May 24 Reply Thank you Ryan for sharing your thoughts. It looks like, as often happens in photography, there is a split of opinions about an image, showing that at the end is a subjective assessment based on our personal preferences. As mentioned, I also liked more the monochrome one (likely because of the mood I have when I was shooting it).

71 May 24 Reply Thank you Theresa, this is very nice of you. As I previously answered, I agree with the color version letting the buildings to pop up more. But I also like the monochrome for the reasons you stated.

71 May 24 Comment John,

I can just echo Mike's comment about your excellent imate. The green tent in the background should be removed because it really creates a distraction.

71 May 24 Comment Mike, I like your idea of creating a sort of minimalist image. I think Tom's work has improved it. Particularly the crop let the eye to focus better on the birds.

71 May 24 Comment Ryan, very nice monochrome with a full range tonality. I think you have been successful to get attention on the tree that is strategically placed in the composition. It is just a question of taste, but differently from Tom, I am not particularly appealed by the square format especially for landscape images.

71 May 24 Comment Theresa,

this is very nice composition. I agree about the tripod. To me the image is lacking sharpness as John said. Since this is was taken on a tripod, wondering if it was a focus problem.

71 May 24 Comment Tom, this is a beautiful capture of this ship. It looks like the bird decided to help you flying over the sun just at the right moment. I am wondering if your "original" is a mistake. It doesn't look much Florida (-:

71 May 24 Reply Thank you John for sharing this quote. I can't agree more. To me being able to be there during the winter and experiencing the beauty of the place completely alone was special.

71 May 24 Reply Hi Tom,

thank you for sharing your thoughts about the images. I have to agree the color one is slightly better because the houses in the monochrome one they almost disappear. This is an artificial lake and the original houses are now under the water. They built the house using the mountain as a shelter for protecting them from avalanches during the winter.

92 May 24 Reply Hi Lou, I am not saying you have to put something in the cargo, I was just sharing my thoughts about it. At the end the photo should like to you as you said.

92 May 24 Comment Patti, I think your is a nice street photo that tells a story. The sidewalk creates a sort of triangular shape that is a strong element in a composition. I agree with Lou that squaring up the doorways would improve the image. I don't care much of the backpack because is barely noticeable. The image is creating a nice transition from light to dark. You may consider to open up the shadow on the "drummers" to make him to stand out a little bit more.

excellent work

92 May 24 Comment Hi Susan, I agree the monochrome image is better because the fountain is the main subject. For this reason I also think you can try to adjust the horizon that is tilted to the right. I agree with Chuck it would have been better to get the leg of the people in this kind of image, or an image without people. Good work

Regards

92 May 24 Reply Hi Susan,

thank you for taking the time to comment on my image. I am not a big fan to remove objects from my images unless is really necessary because they interfere with the main subject. I think the problem with the cloud is that is very bright (as Lou suggested) so I can probably make it less distracting by making the sky less contrasted. About the trees behind the building, to me they are just part of the scenery, but I see your point. I am submitting a revised image.

Kind regards

Michele

92 May 24 Reply Lou, thank you very much for sharing your thoughts on my image. About the sky I agree I could make it less prominent.
Thank you

92 May 24 Comment Lou, I think your subject here is the woman in red and you have done a good job in sharpening her. The red contrast well with the rest of the scenery. I am not sure removing the sign is making any different. This is a street photo and the sign does not take away much from the scenery because is not overlapping with the main subject. Saying that, I am not sure what is the story in this photo. I wish "the cargo bike" would contain something of interest, but it looks pretty much an empty box.

Kind regards

92 May 24 Comment Chuck, it looks an interesting place where there are opportunities to take images. I honestly had a problem to identify the dog on the leash. I saw it just after reading your story. Also, if the story is about the dog and the owner, I think it would be better if you crop the image. The two guys in the water actually attract my eye because they are very dark and contrast with the water.

Regards
