Linda, a lively scene that you photographed with your mobile phone. We now have these cargo bikes too, but I mostly see women riding them with their children.
The children enjoy it, you can see that in their faces. Everything around them is typically Dutch: the houses, the paths, the signs.
As Sylvia and Jim wrote, the car is a bit of a distraction. But it's street photography, the moment counts and it tells a story.

Jim, Thank you for your detailed description of the picture and your kind words.
At first, I had to make a few attempts before I was satisfied with the result, which took some time.
But now I'm also delighted with my "Gerbera". |

Good idea! Sometimes all it takes is a little cropping to make the image look more balanced. |

Douglas, Thank you very much for your complimentary remarks.
For me, "Gerbera" is the most beautiful image from
my series "Flowers on Black."
But I'm still working on it, because the weather is still bad in Germany. |

Sylvia, thank you so much for your comments. I'm sorry I didn't express myself clearly enough. I can send you, and of course the whole group, my photo setup. |

Jim, I think photographing against the sun is always challenging due to the extreme contrasts and lighting conditions.
I edited your image in Photoshop and now I understand where the difficulties lie.
I can say that you did a really great job. You especially brought out the tree textures superbly.
I agree with Sylvia that you should darken the tree trunks a little bit. That would make the sunburst stand out even more.
Overall, a wonderful image with an unusual perspective. |

Yvonne, I'm impressed by your creativity. Your experiment was a real success. You transformed the original, which had a good subject matter but was rather flat in terms of color and exposure, into a fantastic photo.
The different textures created a house facade that looks a bit weathered and dirty in places. This effect makes the image very interesting.
The paint on the entrance gate is also peeling a bit and fits the overall impression. (As Sylvia already asked, where did the color in the picture come from?) In contrast to the cool colors of the house, the warm colors are in the foreground: the chair, the terracotta pot with the autumn leaves, and the brown stone of the front yard.
I would desaturate the colors of the gutter a little. They distract me somewhat from the main subject, the door. You cropped the top part of the house.
I'd be interested to know why.
Overall, it's a picture that demands attention.
I look forward to seeing more of your experiments.

Randy, you've taken a very atmospheric photo.
The composition is perfect, the path leads into the picture and allows the viewer's gaze to wander into the distance. To the left of the path are the mirrored glass surfaces of a house, in which the trees on the right are reflected. I can feel the atmosphere, the fog, it's getting foggier and soon I can't see anything anymore.
I tried to intensify the fog. This is probably easier to do in Lightroom than in Photoshop. Maybe someone in the group has an idea about this.
I tried using a program called Black and White Projects.
It turned out a little foggier. I'm curious to hear your opinion. |

Sylvia, I love tulips and tulip photography. Even the faded ones have their own unique beauty, which you wonderfully capture in your photo. It's precisely this imperfection that makes the photo so special. The black background is also a perfect choice.
Inspired by the colors, I enhanced some of them using the color channel.
Perhaps you'll like it. |

Douglas, I saw your picture and something immediately captivated me.
Was it the geometry, the colors, or simply the fact that you see something and don't know what it is? An exciting thought!
I read your description after looking at the picture, and it certainly takes some imagination to realize that "Grant" was created from the original.
You did a really good job with your editing. You turned an original photo into abstract photography... Great!
Only one small detail bothered me. For me, the lower left arc is not where it should be.
So I corrected that in Photoshop, enhanced these great colors, and created a black background. |

Sylvia, I admire your creativity.
The frame makes me feel like I'm sitting in a warm living room watching the tulip petals dance.
I also admire your image editing skills. Great picture! |
