And a Happy New Year to you Isaac. Yes! That is exactly what I was thinking. Christmas has been a busy time and I took my eye off the ball. |

Hi Erik. That's a very nice piece of work you have done, and is cerainly better than cropping out the structure at the base. However, I still feel that the image needs some sort of base. Maybe I should do what you suggest and then extend the canvas at the bottom and add the base structure (without the angled corner). |

I agree about the water lily. It is very artistic. |

Hi Gary. Thanks for the portfolio suggestion. I'll have a look to see what I've got. I was in two minds on the line at the bottom. Cropping it out seems to leave the image without a base, so I left it in. Maybe I need to look at the original again to see what other options there are. |

Ian, that very fine white edge from under her wrist to the inside bend of the elbow looks more like rim lighting to me. |

Ian, I can only agree with Isaac. This is one of the best portraits of its type that I have ever seen. It is pin sharp, the framing is great and the lighting is faultless. The icing on the cake for me is the fine rim lighting on her arm that separates it from the black background. |

Great shot of this rock feature with lots of detail to explore. Good contrast between the bright fall colours of the deciduous trees and the dark tones of the evergreens. I guess the plariser did its work in bringing out the saturation of the yellow leaves. There is good detail in the rocks too. There appears to be some perspective distortion from looking upwards with a wide angle lens. I wonder if you thought about correcting that in post. |

Oh I do like this image, Vella. I have judged at club competitions and others for several years and made many comments about composition, leading lines, visual foccus points and the like, but occasionally an image will jump out at you, which breaks all the rules but is so full of impact that it doesn't matter. To me this is just such an image. There in no fixed point, there are no compositional components such as leading lines etc, there is nothing sharp, and yet this one grabs me by the throat and says, "Look at me!" This is a great image. I would not change a thing. |

Gary, I'm pretty sure that the Canon 5D series wil do this and even give you blending options between the shots. |

This is an interesting technique and can be quite addictive. I have tried it with my Lumix G9 and had some fun. Most cameras will do this nowadays, but you have to know your way through the menus. The image here shows a quite remarkable match in colour (both hue and saturation) between the frog and the surrounding vegetation. If it were not for the eyes, the frog would be almost completely invisible. |

Gary, what a great combination of shots! Good control of brightness in the layers to get the evening shot looking natural. I have learned something here, that when shooting star trails in east or west direction it is best to use a longer than mid-range focal length. One of the interesting aspects of this image is that it brings out the different colours of the stars, which is something you don't normally perceive when just looking up at the night sky. Did you have any noise issues with the 4 minute exposures? |
