32 Apr 26 Comment The ripples separate the water from the background. Without the sep, it would look like a bird on a piece of paper. IMO, as Tom says, "it looks more natural."
I used the Black eye dropper on the bird's eye and no change. I used the White Eye Dropper on some belly feathers and it lightened the image nicely. I was unable to move it in here, but it may be worth a try.

32 Apr 26 Reply We're hoping. I think we sent a good selection, but the others will also. Fun. Apr 16th
32 Apr 26 Comment I like Ed's increased "darkening" and I'm alone in saying to add more Contrast. I like the vignette. If the rock is volcanic, shouldn't it be much darker? I moved the edited image off and into PS and ran it thru Noiseware and got the sky smoothed out. Did I understand that you are signed up to be a Visiting Prof''r on Turkey and Armenia history?
I've never been to Turkey, but I spent a month in Armenia.

32 Apr 26 Reply I can tell that it's an old truck from the 1934 Colo license plate. My birth year, so I can tell how the truck feels: ach-ie all over.
If you're going to do more film photography as a fun hobby, may I rec a Canon EOS Elan. There was a family of Elans, Elan 2,3, etc before digital, but the Elans were Canon's first fully electric, more so than the Pentax, and it uses the same lenses as the Canon Digital Rebel Xsi and onward. I have two of them. The last time I looked, B&H had the film EOS Elan Used for around $100.
Believe it or not, the 12 mpx Rebel Xsi (vintage 2008) is still my only digital camera. "It's not the camera body, it's the Lenses."

32 Apr 26 Comment Agree with alll above. The eyes in Ed's comment are really effective; and as they say, the eyes are a focal point for the viewer. Nicely done all over. Apr 16th
32 Apr 26 Comment Thanks.....
All the comments indicate that I should show this image. I will and if it does well, I'll let all know.

32 Apr 26 Reply Good ideas.
I was shooting film as opposed to digital, so the cautionary thinking about the cost of processing was still embedded in my technique. I'm sure I missed a lot of nice shot opportunities as a result, but "that's the what it was in those days." thanks

32 Apr 26 Reply I prefer #3 and #5 for composition, and I prefer the red on the head. Apr 4th
32 Apr 26 Reply Thanks.
I walked around and considered many angles/compositions, finally settlling on the wheels which to me overwhelmend all else.....and I didn't want "Just a photo of an engine."

32 Apr 26 Reply Thanks. Just think about the difficulties building one of these rocket ships of yesteryear. Apr 3rd
32 Apr 26 Comment CONGRATULATIONS:
I saw your "Brewing Storm" (photo of two Rhinos) on page 42 of the April PSA Journal (coverage of the ICPC "InterClubPrintsComp't'n") and the recognition of its First Place Award in Large Monochrome. This put your (India) Club in First Place after two Rounds with 181 points. We're right behind with 180 points. I see that your Club was the Host Judging Club for Round One and your members combined Rd 1 with Rd 2. We (Our Club, Sun City TX) was the Round Two Host Judging Club. I was on the Committee, but not as a Judge and recall seeing this photo. Very Nice.
