60 Jan 20 Comment Oh Denise, you are the next Georgia O'Keefe! There isn't a thing I would change about this, and it is definitely competition-worthy! Your image evokes a very pleasant mood for me in viewing it; the colors work well together without being too harsh. The detail is subtle but definitely there to see. And your crop and perspective is breathtakingly beautiful to me! Jan 7th
60 Jan 20 Comment What an interesting shot! I love the clarity and color pop of the little flies. I'm not sure you had to sharpen the detail and edges. Your original capture may have been sharp enough already. It's such a fine line sometimes. The strongest factor for me is the crop and the leading line on the right side of the mushroom, leaving me right to the egg. Good thing you explained that you put the egg there...I was wondering how an egg came to be on that very large mushroom. Great use of perspective! Jan 7th
60 Jan 20 Comment This is a beautiful macro shot, looking perfectly exposed to my eye. The lettering as the focus works so well to tell a story and give my eye somewhere to settle. Your different metals all work well together, and I think the rust level is exactly where it needs to be. Very pleasing image; great job! Jan 7th
60 Jan 20 Comment How charming! I can see you have a great sense of humour! Your image is very creative and well-composed. I think it definitely works for me as a viewer. Everything leads my eye to the gremlins then out again to take in the entire image. I might suggest you raise the shadows on the gremlin and the plant only. And reduce the shadows or the color luminance on the maroon velvet so that it can still be seen but is less apparent of what it is. Wonderful image! And welcome to our Group! Jan 7th
60 Jan 20 Comment Okay, sorry, one more: I think the original capture was so excellent! You really didn't need to do anything to it, IMHO! Jan 7th
60 Jan 20 Comment Actually, one more comment: I do like the color saturation in your original image. Jan 7th
60 Jan 20 Comment Lots of pop to this image, giving it great initial impact for me! I'm not even sure you needed to boost the colors...they are pretty intense. Nice clarity. I would look at maybe raising the blacks right in the center, or opening up the shadows just on the black center, so that it doesn't look so black. There's one tiny little yellow spot on the mid-right edge that you can spot treat out. Other than that, it feels like a great view, sharp and clear of blemishes. Great shadows, with contouring and depth in the petals. Kudos because these colors are so hard to capture correctly! Jan 7th

80 Jan 20 Comment I know these are hard shots to get right, so you've done a good job in reducing the lighting to the point where the lights of the boat are very clear while not losing detail of the overall scene. And despite the other boats infringing on the main subject, they aren't distracting. I think you've done a good job with a hard subject. Jan 5th
80 Jan 20 Comment This is a fun shot, and the way you have framed her while protecting her privacy works really great for putting the emphasis on the book and her comfortable pose. I like the shadows of the window as they lead me right to her. There is something about the angle that causes my eye discomfort, but I can't say exactly why. Maybe someone else will know (or maybe it's just me!). I also feel like the blue and orange work well together to create a pleasing color palette that speaks of warmth and sun-filled streets. Jan 5th
80 Jan 20 Comment I had to laugh, as this is so very true. Technically, it needs some work with lighting and perspective. Perhaps if you had backed away from the group somewhat? The upper left corner is very blown out, so it does distract, but could be easily fixed, I think. I like the angle that shows the binoculars, cameras, etc., but I do think if you backed up and maybe relocated to be behind the space between the two people closest to you, you could eliminate the bus and the bright spot, while also minimizing the phone lines intrusion on the image. Jan 5th
80 Jan 20 Comment This image really works for me! Its very strong having the bluish/grey tone in the building and courtyard complemented by the blues of the woman walking through it. She stands out just enough, while still leaving room for mystery. The leading lines all converge to surround her and follow her as she leaves. For me, you really nailed this one! Jan 5th
