7	Feb 22	Reply	Tony, I have no idea how old it is, but it is in a museum and I am sure is old.	Feb 17th
7	Feb 22	Comment	The image is sharp, even cropped in. The graffiti on the rocks is what makes this image. You are fortunate to have such a photographic area close to your house. I would get rid of the distracting dead tree branches in the lower right, and make the image a bit brighter.	Feb 10th
7	Feb 22	Comment	Really great image of the two children peering out between the posts. The lighting is great and you captured them looking straight at you, and you even have catch lights in the eyes. If I were judging, I would call this an award winning image. I could tell that the children in the "original" are different, and am thinking that you added it to show us the surrounds, as you may have taken the 2 children zoomed in (it is very sharp). I like what is going on in your "original" and think that is also a very good image with all of the colors and the eyes on the woman hanging up something. If you do use that image, I would crop off some on the right to get rid of some of the blue area.	Feb 10th
7	Feb 22	Comment	The time of day was perfect to capture what you wanted. I like the composition with the pointed top of the building in the center, and the vanishing point of the lines going to the point of the building. That said, I think that you have 2 images, the buildings and the what looks like a ferris wheel on the right. The reflections of the lights of the ferris wheel are great. However, I would crop it off, to show only the buildings and roads. The ferris wheel draws my eye from the rest of the image. Of course the ferris wheel and and reflections would make a nice image by itself.	Feb 10th
7	Feb 22	Comment	When I first saw the thumbnail of the image, I thought that it was a creative type of image with lightning added. Of course when I opened up the image I could see that it is waves. You did an excellent job of adding the couple to the bigger waves. The shutter speed allowed the crashing big wave to be not quite sharp, and that shows movement. I do agree with Hoshedar that the waves on the far left look blown out, and I would crop them off to add more interest to the couple and the big wave. Overall, very well done.	Feb 10th
7	Feb 22	Comment	You captured the cranes in a nice group, with all of the heads up, and the rows do make a nice pattern. I am not sure about Hoshedar's comment about the horizontal line. In some ways the line is a distraction, and in other ways it adds to the image. It all comes down to what you, as the artist are trying to show.	Feb 10th

32	Feb 22	Comment	I am glad that you added a white line around the image, to separate it from the black website background. The item in the upper left looks like the moon, and very realistic. The item in the lower left does not look realistic to me. The details are too much the same. You should show more of the small third item. The lighting is very good, as the light on all three of the items seems to come from the same place. Good try.	Feb 10th
32	Feb 22	Reply	True, I had not thought of women not being in the Cavalry in older times. The military has come a long way, one of my daughters is a Commander in the Navy.	Feb 6th
32	Feb 22	Comment	You captured the 2 riders very well, with good expressions. I like the old looking sepia, and as Diana said, is acceptable as mono. If you want it too look like an old image, I would get rid of the writing on the blouses, as they would not be there on an old uniform. (And, yes, the military term for both men's and women's "shirt" is a blouse).	Feb 6th
32	Feb 22	Comment	You did a really great job of bringing out the foreground while still keeping the nice sky. It was a good idea to include the surroundings, as the mosque by itself would not be as interesting or good. I do like what Diana did with the image.	Feb 6th
32	Feb 22	Comment	You have a very patient cat to sit there, and to look at the camera. You did achieve the spotlight effect, but the shadow is a distraction to me. You should move the cat further away from the background. I like the crop that Stephen made, but Diana's suggestion of a dark background would only work if you had a light behind the cat to add rim lighting. Then you would not really have the old spotlight effect.	Feb 6th
32	Feb 22	Comment	I am not much of a creative photo person, but what you created is very interesting and hard to imagine that it came from the sign. To me, the color version has too much color, so your conversion to monochrome is good. I agree that you should crop off some of the color image, but I think that you should have left all of the small bubbles coming in. I used Photoshop the convert to mono, and played with the color sliders.	Feb 6th
32	Feb 22	Reply	I did some research, and found out the the original owner was a prominent lawyer that became the local judge, but that his wealth came mainly from having ownership in and being on the board of several area banks. It goes back to when the largest home in town was owned by the banker. And yes, the sky would have made for a good infrared image. They do have tours of the mansion on weekends, and I think that I will need to go back sometime and see what the inside looks like.	Feb 6th
