Norm,
It is not uncommon to have the background bright and the subject darker especially in close up. But you nailed it perfectly. The sharp details and blurred background... well done |

Stan,
As usual perfect execution. Where it is normal practice to use a closed aperture as you did, I would go wide open to blur the background and concentrate more on the birds. |

H,
The peaches are sharp and full of texture. The depth of field is good too. The only minor comment i have is - too much while wall behind. I personally find it distracting. |

Hi John
To be honest l was a bit confused.
Not because there is anything wrong with the image presented, on the contrary, it is very colorful and interesting, but because the original is so beautiful. The yellow leaves against the blue sky is simply gorgeous. I guess i like both. |

Bill, Im not a big fan of panoramic pictures however, this one is as good as they get. The horizon is straight the, the exposure is even on all 2.5 sides and the subject is clear. Well done.

I love B&W I love Bridges and I love water fronts. All together in one picture executed to perfection. beautiful.
I am missing a sail bot in the foreground, maybe next time.

M, this is a magazine photo. Kudos to you. perhaps a bit more elevated angle looking at the water would add a blue water spit around the boat separating it from the background.

Larry,
what a story. interesting process and a lot of dedication. while I do like the the idea and the choice of diagonal is great few thoughts to consider:
The starts in the background and perhaps the trails as well are not sharp. The noise level in the middle ground ( lake ) is distracting my eye. It Is regardless a striking image. |

Hi B,
Very nicely executed, I call this process imagery as it made of different photographs (but that just for my differentiation).It looks seamless and smooth. The house to me becomes the subject but the surrounding and the beautiful night skies really stands out. It is balanced and engaging. I love it. |

Thanks Larry, here is the original NEF, see the clouds.
I think this is a trail of a jet |

Lance,
while I do agree with the your proposed narrative and the strong composition, the depth of field is a bit overwhelming mind as well the high contrast and a lot of details. My personal interpretation to maintain the story is f2.8 where the front subjects are in focus but the further back elements are only partially clear. |

Elise,
Very nice scene. The B&W adds a lot and the edit is spot on. The leading lines are complimenting the subject. One minor note - the clarity slider is too high in my view

Don, Congratulations on a great picture. the texture and the composition. A slightly different crop where the black line goes diagonally corner to corner. Food for thought... |

Elise, Welcome to the group. Thanks for the suggestion.
My photography has strict rules. One of which I never deviate from 1:1.5 ratio Vertical or horizontal. I believe that learning to frame a photograph is better than taking a picture and then looking for the right crop. I guess this is personal view. |

Thanks Michael
I call it Tension Element. You'll see it next month too. Its an element not related to the subject that creates engagement by its distraction of some sort.
