Thanks Hoshedar, I've long felt trains make very interesting subjects and glad you appreciated it. |

Not cheating at all - have you ever seen one of Ansel Adams' negatives before he worked them in the darkroom - the good lord gave us LR, PS and Topaz, it's a crime not to use 'em |

Fitting title Hoshedar - in my VF I darkened the water, cropped in a bit and moved the subject off dead center |

Judith, I think the image is weighted a bit too much on the left side of the frame - see my VF |

Barbara I think this is a good capture that needs just a few simple modifications - see my VF |

Just about perfectly composed image that would benefit from a couple of slight modifications - see my VF - I opened the shadows, sharpened and eliminated the distracting headstone in the lower right |

One of the things I've learned along the way is that titles are important - and I wasn't sure if "Three different Periods. Bridges Seen Together" was a title or a description. That said, the image is 60 % water so might have wanted to crop in. In my VF I eliminated as best I could much of what is distracting, but more than anything else, you needed to focus on the three bridges. |

Tom - I turn 80 in May, so I know how you feel, starting to get a bit limited although I'm active in several photo clubs - I have to smile at the "orange sunglasses" - I see your's and Judith's point; however (always a however right ;-) - I don't use AI and I'm not inclined to change that particular reality. But that's also why I love these reviews. |

No noise reduction software used, but I do Enhance RAW images in LR immediately after import |

Interesting observation regarding the ISO. Rick Sammon, a Canon Explorer of Light is someone I follow https://ricksammon.com/blog2/tag/Canon believes if you notice the noise in an image, maybe you don't have much of an image. - My rationale: The 1DX handles noise well and the subject had a lateral component to its movement so I decided to be safe rather than sorry since I was shooting hand-held so I used whatever ISO supported f7.1 and 1/1000th second. Interesting take on the sunglasses - I noticed that too but it's a sign of the times and a far cry from the "Casey Jones" era of train travel -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casey_Jones - and decided to leave the glasses as they were. That said, I do appreciate that you noticed the detail so thank you for commenting |

The may be the most photographed barn on the planet - yes, I chose to use the barn are foreground to the Grand Tetons - I agree, a visually interesting image in BxW as well - thanks for your comments

Dave, as a fun image this is great - lots to look at. But that's also the biggest issue - where is my eye supposed to go? Without a Clear Center of Interest the eye just wanders - and lastly, while this may seem picky, I would have waited for the bison to turn, few animals have photogenic backsides. Having said all that, after reading your bio it appears you like to document the world around you, and in that vein, nice job; but I still don't know where to look :-) |

Gary - normally I would not submit an a different image into Visual Feedback but you wrote - "but looking forward to comments to help me improve on this type of image." These are tough shots and there are several issues - first, it's not a particularly good subject for what I think you're trying to accomplish - I might have gone in tight and sharp and blurred the background, but then I wasn't there. Also, the image is inconsistent and filled with distractions, i.e., you have yellow flowers in the foreground and white ones behind but neither has the ability to be a clear center of interest - also, the flowers are far too widely spaced - images of this nature really need to be closer together without distracting elements between parts of the subject. I enhanced the image and even at 1/500th second, your subject(s) are not sharp and flowers should really be tack sharp unless you blurring for a reason - time nor room allows me to talk about the variables but a picture is worth a thousand words and in my VF I included the only image I have that approximates what I think you're trying to do. |

Ian, I thought you did a nice job on the BxW - I also think you nailed it when you wrote that it's about story and while I prefer color, I do like your rendition - thank you |
