26 May 20 Reply Thank you for the historical explanation! I noticed the Star of David only when Albert pointed it out. May 12th
26 May 20 Comment I like it better. May 10th
26 May 20 Comment I'm fine with the composition, so I wouldn't crop from the bottom. Actually, you got more or less the same space from the top to the mountain as from the bottom to the pools, which is good. A lot of interesting shapes that complement each other. My only comment is that the final image looks over-processed. Maybe too much sharpening, which is noticeable in the halo along the mountains. It's just a matter of reducing it a little. May 9th
26 May 20 Comment You got a very good, very peaceful, shot of the bird. What I like most is the curved line going from its head to the legs. The whole body makes a perfect oval. Another interesting element is the diagonal line/triangle formed by the stone where it stands. The muted colors add to the serenity of the image. Since you darkened the background, I would go one step further and eliminate the lighter spot close to its neck. May 9th
26 May 20 Comment Although the house is small within the composition, it catches the viewer's eye immediately because of its white, brilliant color. I don't see how you can improve the picture. Everything works for me here: the diagonal/curved line of the shore moving from the bottom to the house; the straight and perfectly placed horizon, the colors (a big gain compared to the original), the clouds, etc. On second thought: I would probably clone out the small white stone on the grass (middle bottom); maybe even the big white spot on the right in the middle of the frame.

26 May 20 Comment I don't understand much (or at all!) of B&W or infrared, but I can say that the result here is extraordinary. I like your idea of having the elephant not as the main subject, but as an element to provide perspective to the whole landscape. If it were a little to the left it would have been better placed, but you cannot crop from the left because of the tree, and it's fine to have it there, anyway. A small suggestion: use some cloning and eliminate the tree "growing" from its head. May 9th
26 May 20 Comment The river provides a leading C-curve from the bottom left to the center. The problem, to me, is that when your eyes come to the end of the curve nothing interesting is there. Maybe if you lighten up the image selectively, more can be seen of the cliffs in the back, and the beautiful sky could be better appreciated (more contrast with the cliffs). I see the small waterfall at the bottom right, but I would have preferred to have a better look at the falls in the middle--maybe moving your camera to the left (if this was possible)--which seems more appealing. May 9th
26 May 20 Comment When I saw your photo, I immediately thought about framing and perspective, even before looking at the title. I don't consider it as a record shot, since it's clear that a lot of thought went into making the image. Ideally, I would have gone a little lower and got the circle on the second wall full, instead of slightly cut-off, but I can live with it as it is. I wouldn't bring a cloudy sky, but I would make the blue at the top a little lighter. May 9th
