33 Aug 23 Reply I did try a lower angle, but I kept falling over, so I gave in. Could not get down that low to see what I was doing. So I agree with you but I am to old. lol Aug 10th
33 Aug 23 Comment Carl this is simplicity at its best, you have seen this image well and executed it to perfection.
But can I just say this is so much better as a fine art monochrome. Printed on Antique Matt would be amazing.		 Aug 10th
33 Aug 23 Comment Now I take it that you did not walk into a meeting with a big tripod, so this is brilliant if this is through a window and hand held. Watch your curvature and vehicles, they could do with a minute adjustment. You could play with the colour grading to just adjust the blue, but I love it and shows off the city well and I never go anywhere now without my camera.
Well Done.		 Aug 10th
33 Aug 23 Comment I have been taking image for a very long time and one thing I have learnt is to take the opportunity when it is in front of you. Why oh why did you take this image for the moon, which is wonderful by the way, then drop your ISO to 100 and take very long exposures for the Bridge in focus, then the water and combine in PS. You would have a prize winner.
Just remember grab what you can it won't be there again.
By the way this must have been a wonderful moment to witness. Great memory image.		 Aug 10th
33 Aug 23 Comment This is a nice Seascape but for me not one of your great ones. With the speed of the sea and the formation of the clouds don't sit well together for my eye, specially on the left where it gets dark and tight. I do think you could uplift the main subject more from the image to give it a touch more much, but not over do it so it get brittle. The righthand side of the sky is lovely and would have been fabulous across to whole image. I do wonder if this would have been better at 3secs or 2 secs. Sorry. Aug 10th

39 Aug 23 Reply There was an opening in the clouds but it was out to sea, the mist is the surf spray rising up as it was so rough brakers. Aug 11th
39 Aug 23 Reply He did not like the tonal work on the image and thought more could be done. Aug 10th
39 Aug 23 Comment I have two things I would do, remove that little line on the bottom right, catches the eye. Add a keyline.

Otherwise FABULAS! 		Aug 10th
39 Aug 23 Comment One thing would have change this from a good to a great street grab, if you had more room at the back of the chair so you had the complete shadow it would then balance out the large shadow at the back and make for a more balanced image with the lass in the middle. There is one annoying thing and that is the handbag which could be removed. But I would have grab this image and she is great. Aug 10th
39 Aug 23 Comment The conversion is very good and she is a cracking subject. The choice of venue is very good and the doorway is great, I think the pose is a little stayed and could have been shaped a touch. But its a great portrait and good opportunity taken. Aug 10th
39 Aug 23 Reply Thank you, so glad someone did. It is one of my favorite's but the club judge did not like it. Aug 10th
39 Aug 23 Comment Jerry your showing your age, what camera were you using back then, it must have been pinhole. 😂
His camouflage is good so you are loosing it head. I do think the shot here was the feet and the full reflection. Would have been very menacing. But easy for us to say we were not sunning for our lives.		 Aug 10th
39 Aug 23 Comment I have to say, it depends on the waterfall. But I do like your selection here and it has a nice balance to it with a good flow, But I do wonder if you have been to good with your conversion and taken some of the contrast out that gave the depth to the image. Easily corrected. While you are doing that have you thought about flipping the image so it flows left to right. Does sit well that way. Aug 10th
39 Aug 23 Comment Well this is different, it does make for a strong fine art print image with the varying contrast and the lines of the line. The blur works well and just holding the four items in focus works well. I would look at the two silo's a sort the rough edges as that does not sit well with the image. But pleasing image for the wall. Aug 10th
