Hi Mary Ann,
You've got a nice shot of a tern landing to its nest. Your photo reminded me of my trip to the Mississippi Gulf Coast a few years ago, where there was a largest nesting of terns in the U.S. The beach is beautiful but no visitors because those terns are the most aggressive ones, they fiercely defend their nests and young and will also attack humans. The beach was roped off and marked with signs " Please 'tern' around"and warnings.
For this image, I'd prefer to crop the image as Michael's edits to eliminate the sky and the sand. Thanks for sharing your shot! |

Hi Ruth,
Both original images can be used as 2 separate topics. To me, the final image does not show clearly that the blurred one was layered as background.
For the impressionist photo, I'd prefer to include small, visible brushstrokes which help emphasize the shape, color as well as natural light as in a painting. Thanks for sharing! |

Hi Michael,
I feel amused at your idea of creating an abstract photo via a dirty window. Normally, I find abstract subjects via perspective, movement, or light that transform into unrecognizable images. Now, I have another option for abstract photography to try. ðŸ˜
For this image, the different shapes and colors draw the viewers' attention. To me, the original image is better than the final one since the post processing has created a halo and grainy spots around the blue shape in the final image, which are a bit distracting. Thanks for sharing your image! |

Hi Joan,
Your post processing is very well done! It brought out the details of the rocks and the golden colors of the scene. By looking at the original image, it seems to me that it's impossible to recover the layers of the rocks that were overexposed.
The final image is beautiful, and I have no suggestion for improvement. Thanks for sharing! |

Hi Robert,
Wow! You are so lucky to witness the total solar eclipse on a plane, which offers a better view since it's above the clouds. It's surely your experience of a lifetime!
Delta airlines also had a flight, departing from Austin, TX to Detroit, specifically for people who want to view the totality eclipse in-air through its extra large windows. I did watch the eclipse on the ground via my solar eclipse sunglasses only.
For this image, you were able to capture a sharp image despite the vibration of the plane. Since your trip to view the eclipse is quite special, I'd prefer to see a part of the cockpit or the window of the airplane to show a different perspective of the shots. Thanks for sharing your experiences! |

Hi Andres,
Still life with spices is a good topic for photography. In this image, I can identify most of the spices: lemon, garlic, red onion, cinamon, cayenne pepper, ginger. All of them have different shapes, colors, and textures.
The composition does not work for me since they overlap each other. I'd prefer to set them up so that they can showcase as an art piece. You can also consider shooting them from high angle. Thanks for sharing your shot! |

Hi Wayne,
You have a "good eye" to compose these wine glasses in an aesthetic way. The lights and the reflection make the shot interesting! I like the angle you shot that includes the bowl, the stems, and the feet of the wine glasses.
One minor suggestion is to crop tighter to eliminate the foot of the 4th glass at the top left corner since it's not in clear view. Nice shot! |

Hi Pat,
I am glad that you found amusing with those medical devices while waiting since most of us don't go to the doctor to tickle our funny bone.
The sphygmomanometer and other devices are arranged neatly on the walls. They would cause adverse reaction to me (fear and anxiety)when seeing those devices.
Your image is sharp. I agree with Steven that conversion to B&W might work best. Nice shot! |

Hi Jack,
I second to Steven that it looks like a ceramic pot on a table next to the window more than a bathtub on a hard wood floor. Of course it's a matter of taste, I don't think that looking at high rise buildings through glass windows while taking a bath is fun at all! It can cause height vertigo and might make people dizzy. To me, tourism has gone too far!
For this image, it's a nice capture of your travel experiences. Thanks for sharing!

I like this crop that gives more space in front of the horse and also the shadow can be seen in full. |

Hi Ruth,
You've got a nice shot of the Amaryllis flower! It's a nice Christmas gift from your cousin since this flower can be planted indoors and blooms in winter. Your image is sharp and beautiful, and using the tree as a background is a good choice.
The angle you shot is intruiguing to me. Since the Amaryllis flower can grow to a maximum height of around 36 inches, and the tree with the splitted branch in the background must be a high tree, so I am curious to know how you captured this image? Was the flower organized on a high stand for a photo shoot?
Thanks for sharing your nice shot! |

Hi Susan,
You've got a great shot of galloping horse photo with all of its hooves off the ground. I agree with Steven that the big crop has affected the image quality since it appears a bit grainy. If you have your phone camera settings to RAW, then you will be able to recover it easily.
For the crop, I'd prefer to leave more space in front of the horse and the rider to travel into and also keep them off center. Nice shot! |

Hi Steven,
The baby is so cute, and his smile is so captivating! The way you get down to the child's eye level makes your photo more engaging and personal. Your post processing by removing the ceiling lights works well.
I'd prefer to correct the catchlights that have V-shapes in his eyes to make his photo more beautiful. Nice shot! |
