73 Jan 25 Reply Thanks Butch, I appreciate your comments. It took me some time before I decided to work on the image. In its color version, it wasn't too interesting, but after learning and working the B&W I gave it some attention and also did some work on cropping to give the image space. Jan 23rd
73 Jan 25 Reply Thanks for your comments Ian. It was one of those "look at that" moments and I'm glad I wasn't in such a hurry to get to my next destination that I forgot to look around me. Jan 23rd
73 Jan 25 Comment Very nice image Butch and while luck can play a part it's much easier to be lucky when you're in the field with your camera. I like the composition and the way you've positioned the cactus with the rays in the background and the rainbow circling all of it. I agree that the cactus could be toned down a bit as my eye also kept going back to them and not taking in all of the scene. I do like how you've handled the sky and the mountain which help make the image. Jan 16th
73 Jan 25 Comment Hi Sherry, I like the view of the city and agree with Butch's work to minimize the tree. I like cityscapes and it's always a challenge to find the right vantage point. It's a very nice image and took some effort to find the right location. My only suggestion after eliminating the tree was to crop the sky down a bit. I think that would add a greater focus on the city. Jan 16th
73 Jan 25 Comment A nice image Ahmed, my eye was drawn to the rows in the middle of the image which indicated that it was a populated and farmed area. I see a foreground and background with the rows as the central part of the image. I thought about cropping in from both sides and a bit from the top to minimize the sky. You seem to have reduced shadows in the central area and I would consider just a bit more to really bring out the rows, perhaps with a little texture added. Jan 16th
73 Jan 25 Comment A nice image Ian, it's a scene that feels early morning with the calm water and colors in the sky. I would also consider cropping from the top to eliminate some of the sky as it doesn't add much to the scene. I also considered if a crop on the bottom to eliminate the sand might work, although it does provide some foreground. And I also would reduce shadows on the peninsula. Good work with the long exposure and I'd be interested in the results of a revisit you mentioned. Jan 16th
73 Jan 25 Comment Fantastic image Peter. It made me also go WOW when I saw it. I also agree that the puffy cloud could be eliminated. I like your creativity in capturing the image and the post processing you've done. I think, because of the image, that you would hang it on your ceiling and not a wall :-). The image appears sharp from the bottom up to the top, so a good decision to use f/13. The various colors stand out and the reflection in the right, upper wall is minimized, so very good work. Jan 16th
73 Jan 25 Comment Thanks for the feedback Sherry. It was a fun image to work with and the B&W was easily the best format as there was very little color in the scene. Jan 16th
