Hmmm..... not sure if my prior comment is slow to download or got erased ....
I'd commented that you captured the action well, but that I agreed with others' comments about eliminating the distractions. Also, I would crop in much tighter on the right, to just past the opposing boxer's head/glove, although you then likely will need to darken or clone out some of the white belt spots. |

You've done a good job of capturing the action in this image. I like the suggestions to eliminate some of the distractions in the background. I, too, find the crop on the right side a bit awkward. I think I might like it better cropped to just past the head and glove, even though that might necessitate removing the remaining spots from the white belt. |

What a neat old building, and I like the perspective you've chosen, which makes it seem the ladder is propping up the whole thing. While you likely wanted to keep the clouds from competing with the subject matter, I am finding the amount of blur and grain in them somewhat distracting. I am wondering whether copying the sky from the front view image into the sky on this image would work? |

As the others already have mentioned, I didn't find the frieze in the image until I brightened it in my editing software. The window arch is beautiful, as are the bird silhouettes. I think Diana's suggestion to crop to emphasize those is a good one. |

You're right ... beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I am often intrigued when others create amazing images out of things I tend to pass right by. Your professor would not have enjoyed the images from the camera club I just judged last week. Their theme for the month was "environmental trash".
When I first looked at this, I was struggling with the upper left side of the image distracting me from the nice curves elsewhere. I see Carol has solved that problem. I also like the idea of bringing out more of the texture in the chain. |

The way you have handled this image, and the fact that even f/14 was insufficient to smooth out the water very much, does a good job of conveying the immense amount of water and power of the falls flowing at high volume. With a 24-105 lens, you must have been standing pretty close. Did you have any problems with mist/water on the camera or take any precautions in that regard? |

Perhaps it is the subject matter, but the grain does not seem "enormous" to me. If anything, it adds to the worn look of the workroom. Before even seeing Carol's comments, I was going to make a similar suggestion about cropping, as I find the wheel/tool in the foreground to be too tight on the edge of the frame. If you do keep it, I'd suggest darkening the wheel to keep it from diverting attention from your main subject. You possibly may want to extend the texture from the window to fill the bright white spot between it and the tools, too. |
