28 Aug 25 Comment I like the angle you decided to shoot this image. Good sharpness from what I can tell. You might wish to consider a square crop.
CONGRATS on your member showcase image! Bravo!

66 Aug 25 Reply I see that now! Thanks. Aug 12th
66 Aug 25 Reply Thanks! Yes, I was struck at first glance how well IR made the performers stand out from the tourists who almost appear like ghosts. Aug 5th
66 Aug 25 Reply Thanks Gary! I am still learning when to use IR. Aug 5th
66 Aug 25 Reply I also used AI to extend the building in the background to clean up the image. I think I prefer this version. Aug 5th
66 Aug 25 Reply Yes, I see what you were talking about. I tried different versions of cropping. Taking out only the flags, still left the dirt cliffs in the background. Next, cropped out to the edge of the building, eliminating the 2 performers holding the flags. This crop loses the semi-circle shape of the performers that I think adds intrigue. Aug 5th

66 Aug 25 Comment Yes, we are all wishing for the clouds to appear in our scenes! You did a great job with the clean up on this image. This scene tells a story. Aug 5th
66 Aug 25 Comment It's interesting to see a shallow DOF in IR. I do like square crops!

66 Aug 25 Comment A great dramatic sky! I agree with Melanie that the rocks could benefit from some added Clarity/contrast. I am partial to square crops.

66 Aug 25 Comment This is what I like about IR photography, an incredible B&W image with a surreal component. The white leaves certainly contribute to the mood of the image. I guess at 8mm, everything is in focus. Well done.

66 Aug 25 Comment I agree with Emil's comment, this is a scene that you simply had to take, whether with IR or traditional camera. I really like her "crouch", not what an "American child" would do. It tells a story. Aug 4th
66 Aug 25 Comment "AI is killing photography". I have heard that numerous times. While I will miss the days of traditional photography, it's better to get ahead of the curve. I like the choice of "tall maiden" for this image. Generative fill did an amazing job with the blend. I like the texture on the rocks and the drama in the sky. Aug 4th
