24 Jan 25 Reply you are welcome! Jan 21st
24 Jan 25 Reply Charissa, I did neglect to mention using a small led flashlight that I waived in front of the blossom. Key detail, that!

The vase was on it's side on a piece of black matt board with a cutout to allow light through to the upper part of the vase. When I substituted the background I was able to delete a number of "imperfections" in my original capture leaving behind the very bright patterned highlights from the glass vase.

24 Jan 25 Reply Tom, thank you very much for your comments. I appreciate them! Jan 18th
24 Jan 25 Reply Dorinda, your adjustments did help focus attention. The subject is interesting.

By the way, I have no idea why I started my last message with "John". Obviously, I was mentally multi tasking at the time I was reviewing your image. Sorry about that!

24 Jan 25 Comment John - interesting image. Nice lighting, good exposure. The depth of focus is good and I like the darker corners in the frame. I did not find a strong center if interest in the frame, but this image pleasing to the eye! Jan 7th
24 Jan 25 Comment Charissa, very nice still life. I like the lighting and the background. The subject has a lot of interest to me. There is a blossom on the right that is on a bent stem that i found distracting. So, I cloned it out in my feedback image. Overall, very good work!! Jan 7th
24 Jan 25 Comment Bev, I like the image. Nice texture in the background and the subject is sharp and the plants are arrange nicely!! Jan 7th

48 Jan 25 Reply Jamie, sorry for the tardy reply. Thank you for your comment. I am anxious to go back if/when we get some snow. I'm thinking some of the other old relics on that property could make for very interesting subjects with snow as an image element.

Thanks again!

48 Jan 25 Comment Tom, outstanding. I like the action and the color of the water. Bev is right, a closer crop boosts the impact nicely. Good work!! Jan 7th
48 Jan 25 Comment Steward, very interesting image. I agree with Bev's comment and feedback image. I think the woman fussing with her sunglasses is where the interest is. Cool shot, nice idea!!! Jan 7th
48 Jan 25 Comment Jamie, nice composition. The shoreline and setting sun is of interest. I agree with Bev and Tom regarding the jellyfish. I'd be tempted to have gotten a capture capturing more of the jellyfish. Nice shot! Jan 7th
48 Jan 25 Comment Richard, both images appeal to me. I'm impressed you can push your gear the way you did and get the result you got. I also like your processed image. I'm in agreement with Bev on the "dark" ear. I could see a print or either image adorning my wall. Good work with the capture and you interpretation/post processing!!! Jan 7th
48 Jan 25 Comment Bev, this is outstanding. You've got a great TV to capture that image. Very nice and I like your sharing that childhood memory. Such a valuable thing to relive. Thanks for sharing!!! Jan 7th
48 Jan 25 Reply Bev, thank you for the comments. It's an interesting thing that this location was more or less known to me for a decade, but I never worked up the initiative to drive out there. Only a 30 minute drive..... Jan 7th
48 Jan 25 Comment Tom, thank you! I was pretty impressed with the condition of the car. It's a 1950-something Ford. I'm not sure how long it's been sitting outside. It's in pretty fair shape for a car or that age.

Anyway, the shape of the ornament did catch my eye and the condition of the chrome was somewhat striking.

I appreciate your comment!
