Your subject matter here lends itself well to your "aging" treatment in Nik. The fade out on the corners and edges is a bit stark for my tastes, but certainly consistent with and appropriate for giving the image the feeling of an old photograph. |

I haven't investigated the Johnson family, but the surnames and even sometimes the first names of many immigrant families were changed to something more "Americanized" when they immigrated.
Something I read said the Johnson family background was English/Irish as well as some German, though, so perhaps the name originated there. |

I've never had much success with focus stacking, which likely means my technique needs improvement. You've accomplished it very effectively here, I think. I also really like the reflections. I would have liked more space between the third and fourth nuts (from the left), as the slight merger is distracting to me. It's also curious how the rim reflections of the right two nuts are so much brighter than the others. I can't decide whether I'd darken them or not, though. |

I agree with the others' assessments about preferring this image in color. Your composition works well, but the limited contrast in the monochrome version and similar tones in the people and tree/skyline cause that image to lack a strong point of interest for me. The beautiful colors of the sunset reflecting in the water add that interest in the color image. Tom's suggestion about only converting the pier/people to monochrome is interesting. |

What an incredible experience to see tigers in the wild. While I realize this image isn't everything you desired, I like your monochrome conversion, which I feel enhances the morning mist and the rim light and thus makes it stand out from the background more so than in the color version. I'm usually not a big fan of including quite so much of the surrounding environment, but here it provides a sense of solitude which seems fitting for not only the animal's natural behavior, but also for its endangered status. |

Oh my goodness, I cannot imagine the dichotomy between the building and horse and the steampunk model being any stronger, but it does make for an interesting study in contrasts. I, too, prefer the monochrome image to the color, as the bright grass and building in the color image draw my attention away from the subjects. The pole to the right of the window being partially in and partially out of the frame in your crop of your original image is a distraction to me. The space to the right in your original image doesn't bother me, but if you prefer to crop it, I think I'd like the image either with only a slight crop to include the pole and some of the brick to the right or a bigger crop into the window, thereby eliminating the pole completely. |
