42 Jul 24 Reply Thanks, Keith. I've used the seamless background paper when I was doing product photography, so I know what you mean. It's difficult to get the lighting the same on both planes of the paper. But with digital, you can always remove the background an replace it with something that has no transition to it. As far as still life photographs, unless it's shot from above (a flat lay composition) there will be the transition from the supporting surface to the background. Jul 28th

42 Jul 24 Reply Thanks, Sharlana. That's an interesting suggestion. I usually remove those tips from the stamen to keep the pollen off the black glass. As it was, it took a lot of spot removing to get what did fall removed from the glass. Jul 21st
42 Jul 24 Reply Thank you, Susan. I entered a similar composition in the Still Life competition using orange slices instead of flowers and I liked the color combination. (Orange and black are also the colors of my 1970 Camaro Z28.) Coincidently, my image with the orange slices won first place in the PSA end-of-year still life competition. Jul 21st
42 Jul 24 Reply Thanks, Stuart. Glad you like it. Jul 21st
42 Jul 24 Reply Nice catch, Michael. You've got a good eye for detail. Jul 21st
42 Jul 24 Comment Nice portrait Stuart. Sharp from front to back. I'd only look to make it just a bit darker. Jul 8th
42 Jul 24 Comment Wow! Great color and a perfect crop. Was this taken while scuba diving or at an aquarium? Either way, a very nice image. Jul 8th
42 Jul 24 Comment Very nice image, Susan.I like the framing with the trees and the rocks at the bottom although the tree trunks may have been cut a bit too thin. It's a nicely composed image. It has a nice mood to it. You did a great job with your processing of the image. Jul 8th
42 Jul 24 Comment Hi Sharlana.This is a very pleasant image with a nice road leading into the background. It has a lot of nice detail. However, your description seems to be describing a different image because I don't see any sky, peak, or lake in the image. Jul 8th
42 Jul 24 Comment Hi Keith. That is a nice subject for a photograph. The rust has a lot of texture and color. The exposure brings out the sky nicely. Judging by the base of the pumpjack, it looks like the image slants a bit to the left. That item that looks like a cylinder (a can?) attached to a short pole at the left end of the pumpjack is a bit distracting because it is so bright. My suggestion is to either remove it or add a color to it so it isn;t so bright. Jul 8th
