64 Jun 20 Reply There was a thin sheet of ice on the water with natural swirl effects in the texture of the ice and how it reflected the light. The crops are alternates of some interest, but still as I said earlier in this thread, I wanted the complete bridge as a framing tool and placement of the building in context of the entire scene of this slice of the city.

64 Jun 20 Comment I like your image a lot Jerry. It is a very different perspective and tonally works very well. Well done! Jun 10th
64 Jun 20 Comment Beautiful detail and nicely done black and white of the owl. However, I find the branches in the upper left corner distracting. I suggest cropping down to remove as much as possible the larger curve of branch and then clone out the remaining two more vertical elements and clean up any darker areas. Additionally, I think that cropping in on the right would be nice and still have a nice subject position within an approximate rule of 1/3rds. This is a case where the bird is clearly the subject and needs to be sole focus of the viewer with no distracting elements. Jun 10th
64 Jun 20 Comment Stunning, Stan! I can only say, the depth of field, the tonality, the composition and slight turn of the head of the occupants works wonderfully. The brights and the shadows look very believable. Nicely done. Jun 10th
64 Jun 20 Comment The monochrome is interesting and wonderful tonal qualities, but doesn't have the power of the color version, in my opinion. The crop alternative gives you two ways of seeing and is pretty neat. Stan may have come upon what I have trouble with in the black and white version...some selective toning might make it pop more. Thanks for giving us another way to see this very interesting Cavern. I haven't been to them yet. Jun 10th
64 Jun 20 Comment I think this is a beautiful study. The detail in white tones really enhance the interesting geometric software the whole. It is very nice to let my eyes roam around and be enchanted. Well done. Jun 10th
64 Jun 20 Comment Tones and texture are interesting and nice as is discussion. For me I have nothing more to offer because I don't find the subject interesting without some interesting lines and perspective. Jun 10th
64 Jun 20 Reply All I can say is a 20 second exposure with sufficient depth of field stop down can really only be done on a tripod, unless someone is trying to achieve an impressionistic view point with some sort of blur. Jun 9th
64 Jun 20 Reply I actually want the symmetry of the bridge and the more panoramic view. I doubt that I could have gotten the depth of field I wanted at f/8, but could have at f/13. In this case, it doesn't really matter, in my opinion. Jun 9th
