5 Nov 19 Comment Really nice image because of the lighting. It brings out the rolling hills. Your Photoshop work paid off in improving the image. Nov 1st

7 Nov 19 Reply Rich, thanks for your suggestion. I think that you have the right idea, but maybe cropped too much off the bottom. I like what Tony did better, leaving a bit more of a base for the trains. Nov 14th
7 Nov 19 Reply Thank you Tony. Adding smoke on the right side is a great idea. Nov 14th
7 Nov 19 Comment You have a good eye to have seen this. I like the cropping and that you toned down the background. Good composition to have put the scooters at an angle. Nov 12th
7 Nov 19 Comment Interesting image, and your editing looks good. A single leaf of a different color is always a good subject. Being centered does not bother me, but I wish that the green leaf was at more of an angle, to add interest. Nov 12th
7 Nov 19 Comment You did a nice job of blurring the background. I would tone down the white spot in the upper right corner, as it really draws my eye. You have really nice lighting and detail in the flower. Your crop is also very good. Nov 12th
7 Nov 19 Comment Nice capture of the blue bird. You caught him looking right at you. You also have a catch light in his eye. Good composition with the lead in branch going straight to the bird's eye. Higher ISO can cause more noise, but if you need the ISO to stop action or give you enough depth of field, then it is better to have noise than an out of focus image. Nov 12th
7 Nov 19 Comment Interesting image, and you did a good job of showing detail in both the inside of the bridge and the outside building. Too bad that you had bad weather, but overcast days like that probably worked well for images like this, as the outside did not have all of the contrast from a sunny day. Nov 12th
7 Nov 19 Reply Thanks for the suggestion. I was so caught up with showing all 5 of the old engines, that I did not think about the best crop. This is an image of just the right cropped off. Nov 7th

32 Nov 19 Reply Maybe it needs some perspective adjustment, as it is not leaning. The tower is straight. The top leans up, and the bottom leans down. Nov 18th
32 Nov 19 Reply I really like the "dehaze" filter for landscapes. However, I have found that it can be overdone. Hope that it works well for you. Nov 11th
32 Nov 19 Comment I also like the brick work on the left side, but the partial building on the right side is a distraction to me. I did just a quick and dirty "content aware fill" of the building in your color version. Then I used "dehaze" in the RAW filter to make the colors move vibrant, and converted to B&W in Photoshop. I do like the image and the composition, and the 2 boats add a lot to the image. Nov 11th
32 Nov 19 Comment Very well captured image. I am glad that the chains have some details in them and were not smooth. The detail adds a lot to the image. Not as much as rust, but there is detail there. I like the kind of repeating pattern of the four close links, as that creates a subject. Nov 11th
32 Nov 19 Comment Interesting old building. The reflections in the windows really add to the image. I wish that you had left some more detail in the area below the windows. It is a very blank area, and I looks like there were some lines in the building. Nov 11th
32 Nov 19 Comment The image is very sharp, and his head pointed out makes for an interesting image. I would not crop it any, as having room for him to look into is important. Really good composition to have the branch be a lead in, and straight to his very sharp eye. Nov 11th
32 Nov 19 Comment Great choice to convert to mono as the colors are way to bright and are a distraction. Add a small catch light to his eyes to improve them. I would crop the top bar off, because I don't think that it adds to the story, and makes the image busier. Nice job of capturing your grandson. Nov 11th
32 Nov 19 Comment I really like all of the patterns in the fields. I like the color image better, but understand that the dark brown field in the forefront is not very attractive in color. It may just be me, but the light brown fields seem to be too light. This is really a great place to photograph, and you did capture a good one. Nov 11th
32 Nov 19 Reply The front was not really very photogenic. It was too close to a wall in front so that you could not get a good image. Nov 5th
