Thank you Linda! I also have a monochrome version and it accentuates the expressions since the dress doesn't monopolize the image. |

Hi Randy!
I agree that the collection of shapes and colors is captivating -- and a credit to your eye and instincts as a photographer to not only see it but have your camera at the ready!
I did a little cropping -- removed some of the floor in the foreground and also the partial archway on the left. I also boosted a bit of the exposure (although I have a bad tendency to over do that!) -- and brightened the colors. Just playing around!
Thanks,
Doug |

Hi Jim!
I cropped and straightened the image -- wanted less grass in the foreground. Lighting was tweaked using an "auto" button. I let the one line die to the lower right corner.
It's a long narrow shot with the interesting points at either end. If I was better in Lightroom I might try to eliminate some of the middle.
Looks like a wonderful place to visit! |

Hi Sylvia,
As I looked at your photo my eye wanted something horizontal to latch onto -- and so I played with it. Maybe too extreme in the crop and saturation -- but I like the vivid colors.
Sounds like an amazing trip! |

Wow! This is one of the most unusual photos of the Eiffel Tower that I've seen (I've not been to Paris) -- and your description has me wondering if I'm looking at a reflection or the actual? You must have removed a lot of distractions because it appears the tower is by itself.
Thank you! |

Thanks Jim!
You're right about the exposure -- I cranked it up a lot to get detail in the faces and overdid the gown -- nice fix! |

Hi Yvonne,
I played with the photo a little bit as well and tried to bring out some of the details in the shadows -- doors, etc. -- but it just washed out everything else and ruined the feel of your photo.
It's really hard to manage such a contrast between light/dark and color/monochrome. I think you have the best balance between all of it!
Love the historic significance!

I looked up the festival and it looks like something no photographer would want to miss!
Did you have much post processing with your photo -- specifically asking about the colors -- are they natural or did you boost or alter? The lavender in the middle portion is especially beautiful
I really like the composition divided so neatly into thirds -- with the sky the upper third, the calm see the middle, and the water movement the lower. The horizon provides a perfect line against which the ripples and waves of the ocean seems to emanate into increased randomness.

Thank you! Really like the vignette - that's not a tool I go to often but likely should! |

Hi Albert,
This is a really good example of what I value in monochrome photography. This photo is 100% feeling and mood -- with nothing to distract.
I wonder about cropping out a bit of the street on the bottom? Not sure it's an improvement -- your original is really nice! |

Hi Kristi,
This is great -- I'm intrigued at all of the post processing that you did and especially like the "sidewalk chalk" effect. So appropriate for the subject. Really enjoy the transition from a somewhat murky/mossy photo into the final piece!
Thank you,
Doug |

Amazing that you caught the dancer both in focus and mid-air! Nice job!
I only lightened and sharpened a bit -- I had trouble seeing it -- likely my old eyes! |

Hi Robert!
I really love the atmosphere and feel of your image -- the two subjects on the same wall oblivious to each other and engrossed in their own worlds.
I did the obvious to the photo just to see how it would look and centered/cropped some of it. Not at all sure it's better but appeals to my sense of order!
Thank you!
