Linda, this is an unusual perspective of the Eiffel Tower. What you have done with this image is an interesting interpretation of a well known location. This is very creative. |

Douglas, that dress is certainly an attention grabber! You did a good job catching the daughter and her mother as they walked past you. She looks very elegant and her mother very proud. I have never seen one of these ceremonies, but understand they can be quite elaborate. Great capture. |

Thank you, Sabine. You know, I didn't even notice that lamp fixture in the ceiling, but now that you mention it, my eye is drawn to it. I will try to remove it. |

Yvonne, it is interesting you noticed there were no family members in this shot. This was actually one of the few times I have brought my camera to a family event and actually took photos with people in it. I don't usually feel comfortable taking photos of people in situations like this, but I am trying to get past that. Usually, if I bring my camera, I will wander around the house or yard to see what photo opportunities are there, but this time, I did take photos of my family (and they seemed to be well received).
I will try the editing suggestions from you and the group to see what improvements I can make to it. Thanks. |

Yvonne, as Sylvia said, what an amazing opportunity to be in that church with a camera. The stained glass really draws my attention to the photo. Then, as I look around, I see how the rest of the building has deteriorated. The priest and the reporter in the image, I think, adds to the interest of the photo. I think Sabine's suggestion of using the original photo and cropping a bit from the left hand side would help the image. I think it would present a broader perspective of the men talking and the condition of the church. Just my two cents, anyway. Is that church likely to be restored? |

Thanks for the reply. I have never tried using HDR processing for any of my photos and was curious about your reasoning to do so. |

Sabine, you often use techniques with your camera that I have never tried and produce images that draw you in. This image is one of them. I really like the rich colors of the scene and the geometric shapes, rectangles and triangles, that are within the image. I would never think of panning a shot of a sunset like this, but maybe I should play around with intentionally moving the camera while shooting. Who knows what could be captured doing that. |

Sylvia, I find this to be an interesting image, one that I keep looking at. I've never been to Japan and am curious as to where the stairs lead and want to start walking up them. I like the dense forest and size of the trees on either side of the gate, which look to be very old. I think this is a good photo from your travels that will help you remember this trip for many years. |

Jim, I agree, this is a very nice scene and one where I would be interested in visiting someday. I think your edits to the photo are well done, no real adjustments that I can see. Though, the version by Douglas does boost the contrast a little bit. I think either crop by you and Douglas works, they are just different ways to present the scene.
I am curious as to why you used HDR processing for this photo. Was this early or late in the day? I do see a long shadow from the lighthouse, but overall, the lighting seems to be pretty good throughout the image. Or, maybe it wasn't and that is why you used HDR to balance the light/dark areas. |

Thank you, Sylvia. I have also found that shooting indoors is not always easy. I think in this situation, the light from the windows helped with the exposure. I still needed to boost the ISO to 1600 to get a decent shutter speed, though. |

Thanks, Douglas. Your version of the photo does suggest that I could try to enhance the colors of the paintings on the wall a little more to make them a little more pronounced. I appreciate that input. Thank you for that. |

Thank you for your comments, Jim. To get this photo, I had my Nikon camera with a 50mm lens. It was taken at f/5.6, 1/100 sec at ISO 1600. I needed to bump up the ISO being indoors and I didn't want to use the flash that I had in the bag. It was mostly a spontaneous shot that I saw while sitting on the couch. |
