Good for you for going for the Rembrandt lighting. I think the Rembrandt triangle under the left eye could have been a bit brighter. The triangle is also soft. Perhaps the result of soft lighting. I would have liked it a bit sharper as well.
I really like your model's natural pose, hat and braces. |

I like the darker right eye because I think shadows in portraiture are important and useful. And that right eye still has a highlight, so it is all good. |

The shot of the three men is good.
I am most interested in asking if you deliberately cut off a tiny bit of the shark's fins and nose. As it is, one might say that doing so implies that the shark is swimming out of the scene, and that is a good effect. |

Nice job with the flipped image. I love to use that also, especially indoors when I cannot step back far enough to get everything in.
Jerry, I love your comment. You are super OK. |

Nice shot. It is a rare event, but it does happen sometimes, that the light of the setting sun shines upwards on the underside of clouds. Always a great nature shot. Mixing it with a cityscape works very well. |

Your colleagues have made some comments of a sort I have never heard before in 13 years in these DD groups:
The editor needs to be fired.
Does look very staged.
I want to seriously comment on the artistic dilemma of shooting to a requirement. You got the image your editor wanted, and it is well done, especially using fill flash in the patchy sunlight situation. But the result lacks the informality of the real life situation. Your colleagues had suggestions that might have helped the image and still satisfied your editor. |

I will add that I like images with a lot of solid black in them. I shoot a lot of such. So that is another reason why I like this image. |

Such a great cat. I have no suggestions beyond Diana's very good a detailed suggestions. Thanks for the additional information about the tiger reserve. I love to hear about the places, and about the photographers' processes and feelings. |

It is a lovely shot, and a fine treatment of the different areas of the image.
I have never worked with masks, so I am curious. How precisely can one select the different areas when in an image like this there are all those pokey tree branches? Or does it not work like that? |

Although your shot true to the perspective, I found the buildings giving me a sense of them leaning to the left, especially in your finished crop. So I rotated the image to the right 1.4 degrees. What do you think? |

They both look great, and I prefer the mono for the steampunk subject matter. Also the gentleman's hair is pure white in the mono, a better look than his hair in the color version. |

I very much like shots of statues, and this one in silhouette is charming.
I am not sure about all the layers of framing.
Did you try other angles to include the fourth person? How did that work out? |

Good shot.
Looks like your rider has a fantastically experienced horse. |

Nicely done. The house is fine. Compare to a similar composition in one of the other creative groups this month where the house is too large. |

I love traveling around the world with PSA friends like you.
Do please tell us what is the exact celebration, and what the letters spell out. Are the letters constructed from grain? Are the monks marching around the table chanting? |

Our singers were great also. The tenor was an opera singer. I made the mistake of asking the soprano if she were regularly a cabaret singers, and she replied somewhat icily no sir I am a concert singer. |

Wow, great shot.
When we took a similar cruise, we had singers and musicians, but no dancers. |

A very difficult shot since it reflects both dark forest and bright sky. But very interesting art and travel shot. I love visiting places I will never go to myself with PSA friends.
It is your local garden, but I suspect the art project is actually finished as is. I searched for it and I think it is a art school project winner. |

Frans, I love your many travel pictures. You are one of the many PSA friends that take me around the world.
I read once that a hippo can bite a crocodile in half. Now I see how. |

Very good use of vertical perspective convergence to preserve the sense of the buildings soaring upwards. |
