64 Mar 26 Reply No problem. Now I understand what Stan meant by "hand of man", the road on the lower edge. Mar 19th
64 Mar 26 Comment I like the mood this image echoes. Nicely framed image. The downward loose branch on the left tree is a bit distracting; I would considered clone it out. Mar 18th
64 Mar 26 Comment Very nice mono subject. I like the dramatic sky, kind of goes with the main subject, the canon. A lot of details on the foreground too. I think blurring that out a little bit would focus your eyes more on the canon. Mar 18th
64 Mar 26 Comment You cropped to just what matters in the image. Converting to BW eliminated a lot of the distraction from the background. The dark pattern between the couple's face is still very distracting and drawing my eyes. I wonder if you could dodge it and decrease its dominance. Mar 18th
64 Mar 26 Comment Very sharpe image, nice details throughout, I especially like the texture of the the petals on the lower half of the image. Mar 18th
64 Mar 26 Comment I also like the cropped version better eliminating the distracting diagonal line on the top. Nice leading lines that take you to the subject. This might be nit-picking, the black line going through your daughter's head is a bit distracting. Waiting for a second or two as she was going down the stairs and then snap the photo will have her head in between the two lines and having a framing effect. This is of course an after-thought and just my two cents. Mar 18th
64 Mar 26 Comment Staircases usually make interesting photos, color or BW. This is a nice capture, nice tonal range. to make the photo more balanced, my preference would be to crop the right side, because the zig-zag pattern on the right edge draws my eyes from center of the photo. Mar 17th

64 Mar 26 Reply Thank you for your critique. Sorry I am a little confused though, did you mean to say I "might NOT want to crop the bottom" if I want to enter it in Nature someday? It looks like you were suggesting me to crop the bottom as suggested? Are entries in Nature not allowed to crop? Thank you. Mar 17th

64 Mar 26 Reply I see. Thanks for the tip! I will give it a try. Mar 16th
64 Mar 26 Reply Thank you! Mar 14th
64 Mar 26 Reply Thank you for your suggestions. I agree cropping the very bottom of the image will make some improvements. I tried cropping off the last zebra, but feel the image is a bit tight that way. There's also quite a bit of dust under the last zebra, I feel cropping out that zebra will lessen the impact of the sense of motion. I know you can create dust in photoshop, but until I learn how to do it.... Mar 14th

71 Mar 26 Comment I like the pretty pastel sunset colors. You captured well the pattern of the receding waves. I like the uncropped version better with the sky echoing the color on the beach and it feels like the image has some breathing room. Mar 14th
71 Mar 26 Comment I love these old winding European streets. I find my eye drawn to the darker colors on the right side, the dark brown on the upper wall and the dark shadow on the lower left. I wonder how the image would look like with the right side slightly brightened. Mar 14th
71 Mar 26 Comment Lovely image, I like the soft pastel color Mar 14th
71 Mar 26 Comment I like both versions. The color version has a nice warm/cool color contract, the temple looks brilliant. In the BW version, the temple looks imposing and majestic. Mar 14th
71 Mar 26 Comment Nice travel image. I don't know if it's my OCD, but I'm itching to see the image with the canal dead in the center and not off to the side like this, feels a bit unbalanced. You might have composed it this way intentionally. Mar 14th
71 Mar 26 Comment This is a sharp and balanced image. The warm brick color and the cool sky color work well together. The shadows on the foreground grass are bit distracting to me, I wonder if you could clone them out or make them bit less lighter. Mar 14th
