4	Oct 19	Comment	The sky looks good to me. I love all of the colors including the red vine on the building. The aspens in the background are a nice addition. A suggestion would be to clone out the tree on the right side, as it draws my eye from the building.	Oct 13th

7	Oct 19	Comment	That sounds like a really nice photo shoot that you arranged. I really like the colors and the textures in the image. The blues at the top corners add a lot to the image. If you had been able to capture or bring out some of the blues in the flag, I think that it would have made this a more obvious "Old Glory" than just another flag. That said, I do like the image as presented.	Oct 13th
7	Oct 19	Comment	Nice landscape image. I really like how you brought out the fall colors. The barren bush really adds to the image, for me, as it adds interest to the image.	Oct 13th
7	Oct 19	Comment	Very interesting images with all of the color and movement. You make a very pretty model. I hope that you learned more about this so that you can take the images next time.	Oct 13th
7	Oct 19	Comment	Interesting image with the cows and the windmills. I like the colors in the meadow area, and the cows and windmills on a slanting hillside. I had never thought about taking windmill photos at a slow speed. It is very effective. Thank you for sharing with us the different effect at different speeds.	Oct 13th
7	Oct 19	Comment	The butterfly is very sharp, with a great blurred background. I like the leaves in the image, and the sharpness of them. Conversion to B&W is a good way to simplify an image and get rid of too much color in a background. A suggestion would be to flip the image, which to me puts the butterfly into a better position and also lets the stem become a lead-in.	Oct 13th
7	Oct 19	Reply	Thanks, it was a great photo shoot. I have some other shot in the station area where 2 trains were "racing" with really great smoke. Maybe I will enter one of them next month.	Oct 2nd

32	Oct 19	Reply	Yes, you have more separation now. I took your color image and used Hue/Saturation to select the yellow of the stem and darkened it. Of course that darkened all off the yellows in the image so I used a mask to select only the stem. I converted to B&W, not as good as yours, but I am showing it as an example.	Oct 14th
32	Oct 19	Reply	If I was a judge in a competition, the way you reversed the image would score higher like from a 3 to a 4 (in a range of 1 to 5). From so so to I want the image accepted. Again, you want something to catch the judges eye in a quick look.	Oct 13th
32	Oct 19	Comment	Your first question is yes, you should crop in to remove the pathway. To me it acts like a block to the people in the image. I like both what Stuart and Diana did with the image, can't decide which I like the best.	Oct 13th
32	Oct 19	Comment	Very sharp image and excellent exposure to show detail in the flower. I like the leaves darkened as it separates them from the flower. You could have more separation of the stamen from the flower when you converted to monochrome, if the petals had enough difference in color from stamen. The water droplets add to the image.	Oct 13th
32	Oct 19	Comment	The angle of the rider is really good. Also, you have his face in the image which is important for sport type images. The color image has too many colors in it. Conversion to mono helps it. I do like what Jennifer did with the image.	Oct 13th
32	Oct 19	Reply	I do agree with that about others finding problems that we don't spot ourselves. Almost every image I have entered in the DD groups have something pointed out that I should have seen and corrected.	Oct 13th
32	Oct 19	Comment	I think that the way the you presented the image is better than the original, as it is different. The building going down to a point, at a power point location is excellent composition. I like the texture in the building. I would leave the people dark. To me that adds mystery to the image.	Oct 13th
32	Oct 19	Reply	Thanks for the comments. My vision was of an abandoned homestead, so I need both the barn and the old house. The image meets my vision, so maybe I should not worry about the judges when it really comes down to it.	Oct 13th
32	Oct 19	Reply	Thanks for the idea. That does bring the barn and house more into the main subject.	Oct 13th

44	Oct 19	Comment	Very striking image with the red and whites of the lighthouse against the blues and warm tones of the bluff.	Oct 13th
