Group Round C/R Comment Date Image
1 Mar 25 Comment Interesting image with a busy background. I took a few minutes in Camera Raw to make a selection and play with the sliders. The background, after making the selection, can be adjusted in anyway one likes. It's a bit rough but you can see where I'm going. Mar 29th
1 Mar 25 Comment Very effective placement of the tree line. It gives a sense of depth. The problem on my screen is that there is no bottom to the image since the entire screen is black. Perhaps a thin gray frame around the image could help. Great clouds and the very light tint of pink adds interest in the sky. Mar 29th
1 Mar 25 Comment It's just right the way it is. Are those just ripples in the water created by a gentle breeze? Mar 29th
1 Mar 25 Reply The pears are directly on the scanner. With the top of the scanner all the way up the background goes black. It was done awhile back but I think I must have selected the background and solidified the blacks. Mar 29th
1 Mar 25 Comment The very out of focus background with soft colors that mimic those found on the iris make the entire frame work well. The other comments about the selection process in making the separation of the iris from the background are correct. Mar 29th
1 Mar 25 Comment The people, especially the guy in the lightly colored pants, make the subject. I find the very bright leaves on the right a distraction. Overall though the intensity of the colors does send the message of autumn color. Mar 29th
1 Mar 25 Comment There is, to me, something very peaceful about this. The monochromatic feel, the soft curves and a floating on air sense. I have no idea if you intended anything like that but good for you for trying something new. Mar 29th

51 Mar 25 Reply Interesting treatment and it does soften the impact. I think it loses the coldness of the marble which I wanted to contrast with the humans. Thanks for showing a different way. Mar 6th
51 Mar 25 Comment The logs give a sense of perspective and add to the suggestion that the ferry is headed to open seas. "Where's is it going?" come to my mind. Well exposed with good detail throughout. Mar 6th
51 Mar 25 Comment Nice pastoral scene. Maybe trim some off the top and darken the outer edges in order to guide the eye into the center? Mar 6th
51 Mar 25 Comment The B&W has more impact and a feeling of drama. In the original the eye is distracted by the light grasses in front where in the B&Y the eye is taken to the lighter grasses in the frame. Mar 6th
51 Mar 25 Comment Delicate and subtle tones make this delightful. Are all of your screens totally black, as is mine? So there are several distractions, text, the original,etc.competing with the image. I tried playing with a way to deal with it. I was on the computer but I think Snapseed could accomplish much the same thing. Tougher on the phone. Mar 6th
51 Mar 25 Comment What stopped my eye was the close cut fur. At first I wondered "what are those animals" so I think your image works on the Impact level. The arrangement of the animals might be better if you brushed out the ones in back leaving three. Mar 6th
51 Mar 25 Reply In case anybody is interested this was shot inside the Stanford Art Museum in Palo Alto. Mar 5th
