Thanks Ally. You have a good point about the cropping and I will give that a try! |

Thank you Melissa. Those skies were amazing, always threatening rain but they produced very little, at least while we were there. |

Thanks Carole.i did like that little grouping of three objects, and for some reason this particular telephone pole seemed more interesting to me than most! |

Thanks Connie. I'm hoping to come up with a portfolio of images from this trip, it was wonderful and those wide open spaces are so different to photograph. |

I've gotten to your photo last Ally, and I have come to the conclusion that I love negative space and need to use it more often. The lines in this image are great-that X on the floor frames the man on the right, and the bright beam he is leaning on also guides your eye to him. I like the black and white choice and the grainy texture of the whole photo. Good call on removing the plant on the left. An intriguing photo! |

Connie, I agree with just about everything others have said. The image is cute yet unusual. You chose a wonderful perspective-at first I thought it was a straight-on shot but that black bar running up the wall was confusing! Then I realized it was shot looking down. I never knew little things growing between patio blocks could be so appealing. You did a great job of post processing, thumbs up all around. |

Hello Melissa, and welcome to our group! We're so glad to have you!
I really like this photo, it's a great example of the power of negative space. The figure along the wall is so interesting. His bright shoes draw your eye to him immediately. His posture suggests he's sad, but he could be just tired or bored. Black and white is a great choice, as is including part of the dark door - it does keep the viewer's eye in the photo. Nice work. |

Carole, this is a very simple yet a very moving image. The single vibrant tree standing out above all those gravestones is a reminder of both life and death and the sacrifices so many have made on our behalf. I have a brother-in-law who is buried there. There is something about that little bump in the horizon line around the roots of the tree that I find fascinating, something you would never notice in a busier photo. Outstanding use of negative space and an emotional photo I would hang on my wall.
There is one small tip I can offer that has been extremely useful to me when there is such a clear delineation between the sky and the foreground. You often end up with a halo at the intersection, and there is a light line along the horizon. If you duplicate the layer in Photoshop, set the blend mode to darken, then clone a small area of the sky and paint along that white line it will replace that white line with sky without affecting the foreground in the least (assuming it is darker than the sky, which it almost always is.)
