Lovely exposure! It is a city I tell my wife frequently when we discuss travel plans that I want to go to soon. You captured the feel I have seen previously in images and read about. The crop version is quite nice. |

Tom, I really like your image composition, sharpness and clarity. The color is a little challenging for my eye; interesting, but may a bit too "off white". I like the flow, though a lot. |

Audrey, that is a lovely winter image. I like your version and the one that Eric proposed as an alternative. Each have a wonderful feel with reflections and being very luminous. Nicely captured. |

It was on a narrow board walk with limited options for getting a different angle given the adjacent elements and size of walk way. I had crouched down to almost a sitting position for this image capture. Any other angle would would have put me into the cold marsh or included even if blurred some pretty distracting elements on the other side of the marsh. While I will accept that the background is busy and I might have shot more wide open to blur more of it or darken in post, my thought was to show the environment. Also, I think, the color is pretty accurate for the marsh in the early morning. Obviously, it is just an image I like for what it is and it won't win any medals and that is not my intent anyway. |

Excellent. I feel the story here and like how the foreground bird leads my eye into the frame. The tonality is perfect. Don't change a thing, in my opinion. |

Wonderful image capture with very nice interest, detail and composition. My suggestion is that the image color seems too warm. |

What an odd goose. A face that only a mother can love. The details are sharp with really wonderful vivid color. It works well as book photojournalistic or academic image. |

Sharon, the color and detail is quite nice. For my eye the shape and color tells a fine story. For me, the foreground element doesn't work. Even without seeing the original, it seems to me contrived which takes away from the story. It might work if the lens was lower to the ground and pointing up. This is an interesting discussion. Given the angle of view, the crop Mike suggests is more appealing to my eye. |

I liked walls for leading lines and the layers in the prior version. While you have created a legitimate alternative view, I like it less. |

Yes, good edit. I think that has real possibilities. |

Stuart, I think the image now evokes a more pleasing yet moody, dark day feeling. The depth in the image now is discernible and I like how you tweaked it. Saying all, that, I think the bright clouds at the top of (which didn't exist in the original monochrome image) isn't consistent with either your original color or black and white versions. I suggest darkening that top edge of the frame a little to keep our eye in the landscape. I like the image a lot better. It will be interesting to hear from our other study group members. All in all, I think this image has a lot of potential. BTW, the tree now looks more natural with the halo gone. |

Sure don't get any of that from looking at the image. Smile! Interesting information. Thanks. |

Wow...this is seeing something, where I would walk right on by. It looks horribly cluttered, but yet a visual appeal exists because the world is like what you have presented in the way overgrowth can occur. Nicely seen and nicely presented. |

The image seems to murky or muddy for my taste. On my screen the only clear and in contrast element is the distant house. I think a lot more contrast is needed. |

I very nice image. I like the tone, the droplets (I agree the one on the left seems like a spot and could be taken out), the action and the overall story. I think the birds need a little more detail (but a minor thing). I wish the tip of the wing hadn't encroached on the top of the frame. Very nice monochrome conversion. |

The presentation, detail and tone is very nice. I just would prefer to see less grain and all of the vehicle. |

I like the image tonality. However, for me, I am not sure what the story is. I have an image that shows mountains and always feel it lacks something even thought it has nice contrast and pop because I am not sure what I am telling viewers. |

I think with the old jpeg, getting the detail in the brick is challenging...but I agree that would be a good thing. |

I like the grittiness of this image. Old mechanical rooms was where I worked for years, first in the Navy and then in Power Plants and finally even in senior leadership roles making engineering decisions about big capital equipment. It is very cool "old" or "new". My only suggestion is to open up the darkening vignette around the frame. For me, it makes it too dark. |

Jerry, perhaps if I had been closer to the church and used the longer focus I had with the lens such a detail could be accomplished. Cropping a third time (remember it was cropped in camera as I described as jpeg creating a new jpeg) would probably create a poor resolution image. I was several blocks away. I suspect that would be waste of time at this juncture. If I were doing this 10 years later, that is today, I would have shot in raw and planned it differently and had different lenses at my disposal. I certainly photograph architectural images differently with what I have learned over the last ten years. There are too many "could of" and "would of" in that senario with a ten year hind site.
So with cropping put aside, etc. I do appreciate your opening comments on your review about the interest and not sinking (as you say-smile) part of the image. |

Sorry, Stuart....that doesn't work for me. Slicing out compelling elements of some buildings work, but here...ugh!, it just jars me. The steeple is the subject and to truncate it is very unsettling graphically, spiritually and architecturally. I keep asking myself, "To what purpose and where is the visual appeal?" |
