Thank you, Sylvia. Using a speedlight was usually a hit or miss (mostly miss...) thing with me. I am trying to teach myself to use it more and get consistent results.
The instructor said he liked the photo, but didn't say much beyond that. The class had quite a number of people who were just learning to use their cameras and I think that may have influenced his critique of it. So, I thought I would post it here to get the thoughts from members of this group. And, I think I got some good feedback here. |

Thank you, Linda. I was playing with a new type of photography for me and I think I will explore different subjects to shoot to see what I can do with them. |

Sabine, though you don't say it (and maybe it isn't), this looks to me like a high-key photo. I think what you have done here is an interesting approach to a snowy, mountain scene. The darker elements of the photo are clear, whereas the highlights are nearing or are total white.
The snowbank in the foreground has me a little distracted, though. It almost appears to be a snowed over road that leads into the valley below or the bank on the edge of the road, but I cannot be certain. Hope you enjoyed your trip. I'd like to get there someday. |

I like this portrait, Yvonne. I bet he has some stories he could tell about his tattoo's. I would imagine it would not be hard to fill up a card with the various people displaying their artwork. Your conversion to black and white and blurring the background was a good choice. I may have tried to keep more of his hat in the photo, but that is just my opinion. Nice photo. |

This photo really shows that spring has sprung. The opened blossoms and the soon to be opened blossoms show start of a new season. I like the soft pink and green colors and how they work well together. I like that this was something you found in your backyard, you didn't need to travel any distance to find it. It's a nice, calming photo which is a good distraction from the constant noise that can be around us. Nice shot, Linda. |

Thank you, Doug. I am learning that lighting is a new challenge for me. Most of what I have shot over the years has largely been with natural lighting. The few times I had used a flash, it didn't always turn out as I would have liked. I finally started trying to learn to use it. I encourage you to play around with your new light equipment. |

Thank you, Yvonne. I agree, I wish I had gotten it all in focus. I am not sure why it wasn't all in focus at an aperture of f/10, that is something I will need to learn the reason of. It will give me a reason to play with still life photos again. |

Thank you, Sabine. I hadn't considered adding glasses with scotch in them. That would have added something to the photo. Not sure I would want a career in product photography, but it was a fun little exercise for me and gave me an excuse to play with off camera lighting again. |

Thank you, Jim. I did have the Blue bottle slightly in front of the other two in an attempt to promote that bottle a little more than the others. I had hoped f/10 would give enough depth of field that everything was sharply focused. Possibly, because of the proximity of the bottles to the camera, it wasn't enough. Something to consider for future still life/product types of shots. |

Douglas, this is a nice photo of the sea lions and the layered approach with the birds in the foreground works well. I would like to see a little more of the ocean, though. As Jim said, it is amazing the photos we can get from our cell phones these days. I have been considering a trip to the San Diego area in the coming year or so and will try to save some time to visit this area. |

Sylvia, I like the contrast between the lone man and the vertical lines of the poles in the background. The bird in the lower right hand corner also adds to the image, though it blends in with the ground a little too much. I agree that cutting out some of the foreground helps. I like Sabine's suggestion with the increased contrast and color. |

What a nice scene, I can almost "hear" the waterfalls. And, what interesting geology, the rock structure is not something I would see where I live. Your editing out the structures was well done.
I like the version with the three waterfalls, though I am unsure about the placement of the bridge in the composition. It seems a little better balanced with the crop with two waterfalls. Either way, my eyes just keep going through the whole scene. Nice photo, Jim. |
