49 Feb 22 Reply I'm for keeping the color. Remember the movie "The Big Lebowski"? Like Lebowski's rug, the muted green "really ties the room together" by setting off the mossy color of the stone. Feb 20th
49 Feb 22 Comment Sylvia, when you say "depth of field", you referring to the illusion of depth? Depth of field is a technical term that refers to how sharp or unsharp the area not focused on, and in this image everything is very sharp as far as I can see. I include a horizontally cropped image from the same shoot that gives you a greater illusion of depth. I had chosen the vertical cropping, since it has a greater visual impact to me. Which do you prefer? Feb 20th
49 Feb 22 Comment Great street scene, Dickie. You've captured a number of different people, each one living their own life. Allen is technically correct about the top being too light, but I'd be careful not to darken too much, because the flare gives you the feeling of moving from darkness into light. I think that adds to the emotional impact of your photo. Feb 16th
49 Feb 22 Comment This is just so beautiful. Living in Florida, the only frozen thing I can shoot is ice cream! Feb 16th
49 Feb 22 Comment As a frequent graveyard shooter myself, I know what the black box is. It's a footmarker, perhaps for a child buried in the same plot. So I would leave it in. It's very unusual to find a grave that old with such pronounced carving. I like your treatment, but I would like to see it cropped just a bit higher to include the rounded tops of the background tombstones. Feb 16th
49 Feb 22 Comment 2 iPhone submissions this month! In addition to Allen's comments about the skylight, I am a bit distracted by the black dress on the left facing out of frame. So I cropped it and the cloned out the remainder. Good thought and good work overall. Feb 16th
49 Feb 22 Comment I agree with Alan on the saturation, since the reds in the image is starting to lose "shape". This is a retoucher's term used to describe a loss of detail due to oversaturation. However, I do like the way you treated the water. That makes this image stand out against hundreds of thousands of photos of the same scene. Feb 16th
