Emil - Thank you for the research on the make and year of the car. I did go back to re-photograph the old car. Indeed it is a Plymouth as you can see above the rear plate light ornament. As they say - they don't make them the way they used to. |

Chris - I like both the original and the monochrome images equally. How high does the water rise? - I tried to see how tall the trees closer to the geyser are to get a sense of scale. |

Adrian - I was impressed with the amount of cropping you were able to achieve from the original image ( Is that a benefit of a high resolution camera? ). There was a lot of planning to achieve your final composition - something that I am learning the importance of doing more of.
Viewing the picture on my monitor I could not determine where the black sky ended. Would a 2 pixel wide border frame the picture so that it could be viewed better on a screen?

Every time I go to Europe I cannot resist visiting every church in every city and town. I often see older women sitting near church entrances for hours and hours begging for alms. Most people avoid them and almost pretend they are not there. I have learned that they are gipsies and are forced to make a living this way ( even in the 21st century). The image evokes those memories. To me the image captures well the slow passage of time - the patient old woman blending into the ageless stone steps. The woman is the main subject and could be emphasized as Pete suggests. |

Thank you Chris - I will definitely try to recover a bit more detail. I think I also lost some detail underneath the two horizontal wings - the high contrast treatment may have converted the shadow area to black. I'll mask the area just underneath the two wings and reduce the contrast there a bit. |

Thank you Pete. If I have a chance I will go back and photograph it again using a tripod. I feel that I may get even more sharper details of the dust and corrosion pitting. |

Emil - Great capture. Brings back vivid memories on my only visit to Death Valley in the mid 1980's. I have taken the liberty of doing a different crop. |

Mandy - beautiful result. I generally prefer including a human figure to demonstrate the scale of large structures such as train/subway stations. Coincidentally I recently took a similar picture of the subway system in Montreal using the Long Exposure setting on my Google Pixel 8 Pro. ( I did not have my Canon R gear with me). It was effortless ( no tripod, no adjustment of camera settings ) - the station was sharp and the train was nicely blurred. |

Beautiful portrait - it captures the spontaneity of the moment and the expression of emotion very effectively. I like the original treatment - as an alternative to darkening the background it would be interesting to see the effect of blurring it further. |
