Hi Joan,
I agree with Ruth and Andres that your revised version brought out the vibrant colors of the fall season. The green hill with pine trees stands out from different layers of colors in the background.
I'd prefer to see the pines a bit sharper since they are the central point of attention in your image. Is there a lake included in this photo? |

It makes sense not to crop too tightly on the left. Thanks for your explanation, Andres! |

Thank you for your feedback, Joan!
I did capture another image when the coal miner used the pickaxe to break up the coal seam. I like this image more because it shows the coal miner's face and the light is better to see the details of his surroundings. |

Thanks for your comments and keen observation, Ruth!
Even though I have my DSLR camera with me on my trip, I probably captured this photo using my cell phone. Reason: The tunnel is very small, dark, and wet (water dripped from the tunnel ceiling), and with a lot of visitors, I need to have a quick shot and give others the chance to do so. To be honest, I was also nervous to go physically deep underground to a real coal mine! |

Hi Andres,
Your image captured at the annual Sheep & Wool Festival is intriguing! The 3 women with their backs turned convey a specific story and shift my focus from their facial expression to their clothes and their wool selection gestures. It's interesting to see that the 2 buyers (?) from the left are wearing warm clothes with similar dark brown colors as the wool color in the basket behind them.
I'd prefer to crop tighter on the left frame (up to the vertical bar) since the elements there do not add much to the context of your image.
Do you know why there are 2 liquid containers (like honey) in the table? |

Hi Ruth,
You have found a lot of beautiful photography spots in CO! Your image of the Hanging trail with gentle waterfalls in fall season is an inspiring scenery. I especially like the strip of grass with water reflection in the middle of the turquoise water color of the lake that leads my eyes to the waterfalls in the center.
One suggestion is to crop tighter on the right side (past the little white branch in the strip of grass) since there is a falling tree (?) in a diagonal line on the rock above that drives my eyes outside of the frame. Thanks for sharing your beautiful capture! |

Hi Robert,
You have captured a great moment of the hot air balloon landing in the valley! You have observed the scene and used the composition very well with the colorful hot air balloon nearly reached the ground against the unobstructed greenery background. The top of the hill with some buildings and tall trees add more interest to the scene.
One minor suggestion is to adjust the saturation of the image a bit because the sky color seems unnatural. Other than that, it's a very nice shot! |

Hi Mary Ann,
It's a beautiful image! It has good technical quality with correct exposure and sharpness. The contrasting colors between the golden leaves and the green ones are visually appealing.
One minor nitpick about the small part of the sky is shown on the top right. I'd prefer to deliberately crop it off; otherwise my eyes constantly seeking the top part of the mountain. Thanks for sharing your nice shot! |

Hi Bill,
I'm deeply sorry for the loss of your beloved wife. My deepest condolences to you and your family.
For the image this month, I agree with Steven and Jack that the original image is a different shot than the final one. To me, the final one looks so perfect but it looks like a rebuilt scene and it does not look natural, especially when it is well illuminated under a dark sky. I like the original image more because it's like an iconic movie scene with a striking combination of all the doors falling apart from the structure and a dramatic blue sky. Thanks for sharing your great image! |

I appreciate your kind comments,Steven!
You're very observant! Yes, the umbrellas were hung directly overhead. I took a few pictures of the umbrellas and I like this one more to show different sizes of the umbrellas and to show the sky as well as the trees peek between the gap spaces. |

Hi Jack,
I like the landscape mode more because the immense formation of clouds covers the major part (2/3) of your image. It also shows the zig-zag green grass on the left and on the right that blend beautifully to the yellow canola fields. Conversely, the portrait mode is dramatic because it focuses on the vertical clouds on top of the high trees like a convective storm.
To me, the best choice depends on the desired mood, or the intended use of the image. In fact, I am glad that your image was merely cropped to better fit the aspect ratio of the phone's wallpaper instad of being altered to fit the vertical orientation. Thanks for sharing your beautiful image and to bring this topic to our attention! |

Hi Susan,
Your image of Italy is interesting with cheese as the main subject. It's a fun observation and a nice shot since Italy is considered the country with the highest variety of cheese in the world. As you mentioned Masseria, I guess that you joined the "Masseria Fragnite Cheese Tour" to find out how Mozzarella and other typical cheese products are made, and also to taste cheese afterwards.
In this image, the vendor offered a tray of cheese for customers to sample. I like the glass counter with a variety of cheese are on display, but its vertical metal frame is a bit distracting that I'd prefer to remove. Thanks for sharing your travel image. |

Hi Steven,
It's a nice shot of spice shop! The different colors and shapes of the ceramic pots are stacked on the shelves, and they are separated from the bags of spices on the front by a row of red lid plastic containers. The ceramic pots are a bit shiny but they work fine to me.
I'd prefer to straighten the vertical lines of the shelves since they are tilted to the left, and to crop tighter the left part to eliminate the bright area that could distract the viewers. Thanks for sharing your shot! |
