9 May 23 Reply My apologies Sabine. I just returned from a 7 day, unplanned trip to the states and have some time now to respond to your comments. Thank you for your kind words. Over the past years, I have worked on images from a different set of three bracketed exposures and always emphasized the foreground. In doing so, I missed altogether any consideration of the light originating from the right side of the image. This is very helpful feedback and I'm looking forward to revisiting/reworking this image taking your comments into consideration. Thanks again. May 23rd
9 May 23 Reply Thanks Douglas, scouting saves valuable set-up time for me when arriving on the day of the shoot. Comments are welcome from anyone, regardless of their background/experience. Sometimes it's those comments made from a different perspective than my own that are the most insightful. May 23rd
9 May 23 Reply Thank you Yvonne. I hope the details provided were helpful in some way to your work. May 23rd
9 May 23 Comment Great leading lines! Would you share your meta data info, i.e. lens used, tri-pod/handheld, exposure settings, etc. May 9th
9 May 23 Comment Very nice creative composition. I really like how the warm light reflects from the buildings, draws me into the image.
Can you tell me what post processing software you used? Thanks

9 May 23 Comment Both images are nice but the B&W is more striking to me. I am curious about your meta data; lens used, aperture and ISO settings, flash/natural light, etc. whatever info your willing to share would be appreciated. May 9th

9 May 23 Reply The exposure settings for the three images I chose were incorrectly noted in my comments above; they were actually -1.5, +1 and +2. Don't know if I was successful uploading my three images. May 9th
9 May 23 Reply Thank you for your kind words Sylvia. I certainly don't consider myself any more skilled than the next photographer, possibly less so than most. That's the primary reason for me to join this forum, a place of learning and receiving feedback from others that may help me improve. I had little time to learn post processing software while employed and now that I'm retired, I struggle to keep ahead of post processing software advancements. Positive comments are great, but any critique of my image will be even more appreciated. I'll see if I'm able to add the three images you requested. Thanks again. May 9th
9 May 23 Comment New to PSA, and expect to learn from others comments, but I agree with Sylvia; I find it uncomfortable critiquing others work. That said, I'm here to learn and hope my comments are positive and constructive. I thought the background was a bit distracting, but I understand there may be limiting factors and any changes to your composition might have compromising effects on the final image, which I do enjoy viewing. Would moving closer to the subject with a larger aperture setting create a more pleasing bokeh and still maintain sharpness? Or, possibly composing the same image but at a different angle with a less distracting background, eg. blue sky with clouds. Regardless, The birdhouse and the bluebird are very sharp and the composition of both make for a very pleasing image for me. Thank you for sharing. May 7th
