5	Jul 21	Comment	I prefer the color. The red and green are nice, and it show better the the train is coming out of a tunnel because of the green in the tunnel opening.	Jul 13th

7	Jul 21	Comment	I agree with Bev that having the land area at the middle is not the best composition, but instead of adding sky, I would crop off part of the sky. You have an area of repeating sky at the top, and cropping it would eliminate that problem. I would crop most of the white clouds at the top, and leave the dramatic darker clouds. That would also make the fish nets more important.	Jul 13th
7	Jul 21	Comment	You captured Brydi at a great moment. You captured her looking up, and that is not what I have seen at these events -- most of the racers are looking down. I like the crowd, as it shows that this was an event. Both the color are and monochrome are good,	Jul 13th
7	Jul 21	Comment	A very nice silhouette. There may be no one center of interest, but it is not needed as the birds go from side to side. The legs hanging down add interest.	Jul 13th
7	Jul 21	Comment	Having the people in the image shows the size of these giant trees. The composition is good, with the path and the people framed by trees. Thank you also, for showing us a couple of images for reference.	Jul 13th
7	Jul 21	Comment	You caught the hummingbird at the perfect moment. I like that you can see the tip of the beak, and the eye has a catch light. This is a very striking image, and wing blur adds "life". The dark background if very effective.	Jul 13th
7	Jul 21	Comment	You have 2 images. The one as presented, that shows the whole story. The other one would be to crop the left side to get rid of the signs and flags. That would have the action more important, with the cowboys on the right watching and drawing attention to it. It is up to you as to how you feel about the image.	Jul 13th
7	Jul 21	Reply	If you follow the instructions from Adobe, it easy to add the clouds that you created to those that are available to use.	Jul 6th
7	Jul 21	Reply	For PSA competitions, and many camera clubs, you need to use a sky that you have taken, not one of the ones from Photoshop. I take interesting skies when I see them, and have made a collection of them.	Jul 6th

29	Jul 21	Comment	A simple but strong image. I usually think about showing more of a lighthouse, but this is very effective because of the strong lines. Your corrections as suggested by Gunter help the image.	Jul 13th

32	Jul 21	Comment	The bird is very sharp, and you even have a catch light in the eye. I like your conversion, and I think that the bird has plenty of separation from the background. I like Russ's suggestion to crop off below the hose, then you don't know that it is a hose.	Jul 9th
32	Jul 21	Reply	Yes, it really makes the building standout.	Jul 9th
32	Jul 21	Comment	What a great to eye to see, and then capture this image. The mono is much better than the color. The horse really makes this image. Like Diana said, I also like the distant trees fading out. I would get rid of the writing on the second tree from the right. I think that it is the contrast, but it draws my eye. It is a shame that people think that they need to leave their name everywhere.	Jul 6th
32	Jul 21	Comment	You picked a good time to be there, while there were clear skies and before the heat arrived. I like the color image better. Diana did a good job to improve the image with extra contrast.	Jul 6th
32	Jul 21	Comment	That was a great idea to take the back side of the fern so that the spores are showing. To me it looks kind of like a dragon tail. I like the contrast, and the light background. I flipped the image to put the tip in the upper right, and a lead in from the lower left. What do you think?	Jul 6th
32	Jul 21	Comment	A great catch. How lucky for you to have him in your back yard. Your image does not look like it is cropped so much. I played with it just a little bit, and used Hue and Saturation to darken the green behind the owl before a quick conversion to monochrome. Because of the small original image size, it really fell apart, but maybe it will give you an idea about how to darken the green only.	Jul 6th
32	Jul 21	Comment	I like your higher contrast better. The slant does not bother me, as there are lots of buildings that are built on a slant. You straightened the building very well. You would have a stronger image if you cloned out the top 5 stories of the partial building on the left. It is drawing my eye from the main building. I like that you have people in the image, to it make the image "alive".	Jul 6th
