64 Jan 23 Reply Jerry, that is excellent. Removing the top partial panes allowed me to see the value of the bottom right pane and its interior view. I really like the story, focus, tonality, depth of field and interplay of rain on the glass and the light beyond. Awesome. Now here is a really case where the comments drove another variation of the image that is truly compelling. Cool. Jan 13th
64 Jan 23 Comment Jerry, I like the story and the idea of what you are focusing on. The tonality is fine however, I have this feeling that the real story is the two window panes with the light in them and that the top partial three and the one on the right within the frame are just added elements that don't contribute to the story, in my opinion. If you crop the picture in using the actual window pane molding as your frame, then you have a very interesting image, and then you could even add additional digital frame to help create more interest like a frame within the frame to make it a very pleasing image.

64 Jan 23 Comment Stuart, I like this image a lot. I think you had the absolutely best depth of field to get these leaves to appear sharp contrast to the keep the background sufficiently blurred to make them pop out of it frame. Very well drawn! Jan 13th
64 Jan 23 Comment Helen, splendid perspective. Cloning out that little area of the roof line or cropping to in at the right side of the frame is a way to remove it being a slight distraction, however it is not significant in my opinion. I love your image which is tighter crop compared to one I did to get a similar perspective a few years ago. Well done. Jan 13th
64 Jan 23 Comment Stan, truly excellent. I think the composition, tones, texture and sharpness front to back is well accomplished. I think the entire complex is the subject and thus the angle of view, even with the pyramid in the background to other elements, truly compelling. Well done. Jan 13th
64 Jan 23 Comment Chris, I like the image, its story including the truck and bird, the genuinely natural contrast of the bridge in the fog. I think increasing contrast, while seemingly appealing, diminishes the real fog influences. Well done. Jan 13th
64 Jan 23 Comment Don, I am having a hard time getting into the image. So I tried thinking of it as a winter abstract and just let my eye see what it sees. Then it is a nice wooded nature scene full of random elements that would look better without the foot prints. Thus, that seems to confirm what others have said, that in this case for the man made influence of the foot prints it needs to have the foot prints lead from the bottom left in order to work. Otherwise Photograph the scene before the foot prints. Jan 13th
64 Jan 23 Comment They all lol like legitimate alternatives. Perhaps being abstract lends itself to such digital doodling. I, However, like in its full horizontal or vertical framing. It gives me lots of places for my eye to wonder. I don't think an abstract has to have clearly defined center of interest. Rather they often become ways to wonder around. Jan 13th
