Thanks Linda - it was nice to be around animals/creatures in their natural habitat where they seemed oblivious to being watched! |

I read more and more about photographers leaving heavy equipment behind and relying on a phone and Snapseed!
Enjoy San Diego! |

I agree about the water - feel like I could have added more - if nothing else to frame it.
Thanks for your comments! |

Thank you! I like to think of it as another kind of "street photography"! |

Thanks Jim - really like the crop - and the focus on the one "alpha" in the crowd! |

Hi Randy!
I'm a big fan of your photo -- although not one to enjoy Scotch -- the bottles are great and appeals to my appreciation of symmetry. As some others have mentioned, I don't know much about lighting and intrigued by your set-up. I recently added a low-cost photo light to my equipment and have just begun to experiment. Great photo!

First of all - I feel and share your "aversion" (such a much better word than "fear"!). I live on the 16th floor of a condo building and have a large balcony that took me a little time to get used to!
Secondly - you handled the cropping and fill very well. I struggle with photos with lots of competing horizontal lines trying to figure out which one(s) to use as the standard. You have the bridge and the strata of the rock - all of seems to work well.
Thank you for sharing and I always love to see the before and after!

Hi Sylvia,
I love the vertical/horizontal lines creating a grid all throughout and then the man and bucket superimposed on top of them. A very complex and compelling story as he walks home after a hard day's work.
Thank you! |

I like the entire thing -- including vignette.
My eye went to the lower left and the yet-to-open blossom resting in the cradle of the leaf. Feels supportive and symbiotic. The only distraction is the blurred portion of the twig in the top center. I wonder what it would look like with that removed? |

I cannot imagine the hours the man endured having his body covered in tattoos. I admit to cringing a bit and finding it hard to look. That's a LOT of ink!! I wonder if his left arm is simply not-yet-finished or is he intentionally keeping it uncovered.
There's such a story in this photo -- the expression, hat, ink design, all of it.
Thank you! |

I'm envious of your travels and I'm resisting any "Sound of Music" references! The image is quite bright -- difficult for my eyes to focus on the structures. I found the utility towers on the upper left to be jarring, not in a bad way, just forced me to recognize how we've altered the landscape in the name of progress and technology. |

I really hadn't paid enough attention to trees in the background - and I think you're right - they be reduced if not eliminated. Thanks for pointing them out! |

Hi Barbara - and great call on the blurred front post. I might go back in LR and alter the field. I'd like the forefront to be clearer. Thank you for pointing it out! |

Spectacular job on the clouds -- totally changes and adds dimension to the scene. Excellent job on both the original image and the processing! |

Interesting, at least to me, how the conversion to b&w creates a somewhat sinister feel to the gathering. Love the change in demeanor!
Agree about "trimming" the elephant ears of the tops of the trees.
Looks like an amazing safari!
Thanks,
Doug |

I am with you on the angel without the halo. I think of angels as discreet figures who abhor the spotlight so having one steal away with a child to safety fits my imagination. There's such a dystopian quality to what you managed to create on your kitchen table -- a true credit to your creativity.
Seems like the learning curve is a lot less steep these days! |

Hi Jeff!
Your photo and conversion is a perfect example of what I love about monochrome photography. The difference in the two images is striking and the b&w is engaging and inviting. It's not just a picture -- it's an experience.
Thank you! |

Hi Robert -- I'm intrigued by the ethereal nature of the B&W despite losing some dimension. The composition comes through more strongly for me with the strong vertical lines crossed by the diagonals. I guess it's the geometry that adds so much attraction.
Thanks! |
