Thank you Dean. I appreciate the ideas of turning to capture the effect of the sun on the canyon and landscape. I am going to review some of the other images I took from the other side of the canyon. |

Hi Anne, thank you for your suggestions. I am not sure why the sun setting turned the area white instead of giving it a glow. The sun was starting it's descent and is directly behind the top of the canyon, maybe it needed to be at the horizon to give a glow? Or could it be because of the absence of clouds? I'll have to pay attention to this in the future, it will be good to know for future photographs. I will work on lightening and try to add some additional color with transition to the sky. |

Hi Damon, I am really enjoying this image. I am trying to find the best words to describe what is going through my head as I look around. I will give it a shot to accurately do so. But, before I start, it's all very complimentary, in case my words don't do their job as well as I'd like :). This a great image! It's not just that the woman in alone and in contrast to the community that stands out, but I feel like the "weight" of the image is around her. You have a beautiful arch imaged here with the thickest and heaviest feature of the arch on the right side of the image, right next to the lone woman. There a two sets of pews and the largest that draws more attention is also framing the woman on the other side of the heavy arch. There are faint leading lines, such as the center aisle leading to the alter, the rows of parishioners facing the alter, and even the hanging lights, but the line that stands out the most is that around the woman. I don't know if it's the angle or the features I just described, but I also feel like the image is leaning slightly to the right, like when you are on a boat. Again, a feeling of weight to one side... attention to the right. This could represent the feeling of loneliness. Finally the colors and dress style within the community in the pews blend together with an some occasional blues or reds, but the loan woman stands out in her hat and soft purple and blue. The difference is subtle but noticeable. At this moment she is a stranger looking become part of the whole. I looked around to see if anyone noticed her, there is one possibility with a man on the end of aisle on the left, maybe. You're right Damon, there's a story here. Once she finds a place, she will blend in with her community and the image will shift. |

Wow Anne! This image is fascinating. I did not know a camera could do this. When I first saw it, before reading your description, I thought of an arcade and show of laser lights. The lines and colors draw you in and frame the main subject. I like that the green and red colors meet just in place of the Midway of Fun sign. It definitely feels fun to look at this image. |

Hi Damon, thank you for the feedback. What I meant by pre-set is that at the time I took the image I used the "landscape" setting on the camera. I was not very familiar with using the manual settings at the time. I am now more familiar with manual settings and still developing skills in applying all three together (SS, Aperature, and ISO). I used this image mainly as an opportunity to use and develop the post- processing tools.
I used camera raw to edit the photo. I did not use the vignette feature, but instead used a feature that I understood to be an "overlay". This is where I am able to apply color to certain areas of the picture, in this case the sky, the title of the overlay is "dramatic blue". It looks like a vignette on the image, but that is not the tool I used. The reason the blue doesn't reach all the way to the canyon and tree is because the sun was setting behind the canyon causing a halo of light around both the canyon and tree. When I added the "overlay" it did not saturate the area of the halo as much as the rest of the sky. It could be that "overlay" is not the right term, but hopefully this explanation makes sense. Let me know what the correct term is.
And of course I will clean up the dust spots. I had removed them early on in the editing process.... although maybe I had only faded them and the blue sky brought them back out? Or maybe I accidently un-edited that step at some point. Not sure what happened. Either way, I will make sure to check for those buggers before submitting again.
Again, I appreciate your feedback and look forward to applying what I learn for next months image. |

Hi Rita. This is a beautiful image. The setting is very peaceful and the colors tranquil. I like that the low light colors in the water compliment the color of the loons. Despite the cropping, you were able to keep the nice details in the feathers. |

Beautiful image Dean. The lines from the windows draw you into the airplanes at center stage. The angle you used to take the image has the two planes in the center of the image, but also in the center of the windows and in line with the wall between the windows. The angle and shape of the ceiling windows also compliment the shape of the airplane wings so well. Yet, the entire has little areas of interest that keep you looking around such as the banners on the ledge. A very pleasing image. Great job! |
