7 Mar 23 Comment Thank you for all of your comments. Mar 26th
7 Mar 23 Reply This changes the mood, and I am not sure that is what you want, from the title that you gave the image. Mar 26th
7 Mar 23 Reply That is an interesting idea. It adds more interest to the car. Mar 26th
7 Mar 23 Reply I like this, it focuses more on the tree arch. Mar 22nd
7 Mar 23 Reply I like what you did Tony. Mar 22nd
7 Mar 23 Reply Thanks Rich. This bridge with the curving road was a great find. Looking at it again, I agree that the guardrails are also important to lead the eye to the bridge opening. Mar 16th
7 Mar 23 Reply Thank you, it was a pretty day. I am glad that some of these old bridges are being preserved. This one was built in 1880. Mar 15th
7 Mar 23 Reply I never think about doing that when I am taking images, but I know that I should. Mar 15th
7 Mar 23 Comment This is a great looking old barn in a good location. It does look like it is on life support. I hope that you had a warm car to get into. A suggestion would be to get rid the irrigation equipment on the right side of the barn, as it is drawing my eye from the barn. I wonder if you have thought of cloning out or cropping off the horizontal fence in front of the barn. A fence like that can be a stopping point to keep the eye from going into the image.

7 Mar 23 Comment Perfectly done image of this great location. Perfect time of day, as the shade from the trees in only under the trees, as is perfect timing to have the vehicle under the trees. The mountains in the background shown through the arch is also good and shows that you selected a good location to take the photo from. Nit picking, but if you could lighten the vehicle some to show more detail it would help. Mar 15th
7 Mar 23 Comment Very nice portrait with the man very shape and well lighted and the background is out of focus and darker. The photos in the background add to the image as they show that it was taken in a natural setting instead of with a backdrop in a studio. I like that it is a side portrait and of course the red flower adds a lot to the image. Great exposure to only the head lighted. Mar 15th
7 Mar 23 Comment Very nice image with everything sharp and you had good lighting. The image is nice as is, and the bird has a blue sky behind it. But if you want the bird to stand out more, crop in. You do not need to show all of the flowers. Mar 15th
7 Mar 23 Comment Rich, a very beautiful location. I played around with the bright spot some, but could not really find a good solution. As far as getting more of the top arch, using a wider angle lens I think would cause more distortion, and 17mm is a very wide lens. A solution would be to take 3 or 4 overlapping vertical images and paste them together as a panorama in Photoshop. I have hand held horizontal images and gotten good results with Photoshop. Just overlap the images enough. The image is very sharp, well exposed and I like the straight on shot. Mar 15th

32 Mar 23 Reply Then, I don't think that he needs them, since he does not look like a working cowboy having 2 guns. More like a gun slinger. But they do look good in the photo. Mar 15th
32 Mar 23 Reply Thanks, well spoken. Mar 15th
32 Mar 23 Reply Thanks. Mar 13th
32 Mar 23 Reply I see both sides, but I would remove it if it were mine. Maybe that is why photography is an art and not a science. Mar 13th
32 Mar 23 Reply Like I said above, a company sells backdrops to be used in photos, so I can't see them then saying that it is copyrighted for that use. Another company could not duplicate and sell it. Mar 13th
32 Mar 23 Comment Great image and good job of conversion from film. I am sure that it is a purchased backdrop, but since the backdrops are made to be used in photographs, I can't then see that they would say not to use it. A sheet might be a different matter. I like the conversion to mono, and the rotation. Congratulations on your exhibit. Mar 13th
32 Mar 23 Comment What a great hobby! My kids tried it at one time, but gave up, as it is rather difficult. One of my daughters had a hedgehog at one time, because she wanted a pet and could not have a dog, cat, or bird. It was a good pet. You show the detail in the hedgehog, and I agree that the color is too bright for the subject. Your depth of field is good, but the front foot is too close to the edge. I think that you lack contrast between the base and the hedgehog. If you retake the image, use a lighter base. I changed the yellow and red sliders, and made the hedgehog darker. Mar 13th
32 Mar 23 Comment Welcome to the group. The first thing that I see is that the stairs are not safe because of no railing. The texture on the walls is great. You did what we are told to do, don't show a bald sky, and what is left doesn't bother me. I agree with the comments above to crop off the partial doorway on the right, and get rid of the triangle area in the upper left corner. Mar 13th
32 Mar 23 Comment I see more texture than noise in the flower, but Som's image does look better. I would leave the stem in, as it creates a stopping point and keeps the flower from floating. Mar 13th
32 Mar 23 Comment I like Diana's crop. I like the color better, but if you do use color, then the crop is more important to get rid of the people on the left. The reds, yellow and orange colors blend nicely. Mar 13th
32 Mar 23 Comment Very nice farm scene with the the barn, silo and old truck. I like the color, but with the brown fields think that going to mono was a good choice. I would not change a thing, other than to get rid of the power pole and line in the upper left. It draws my eye from the barn. Without knowing what "record" is, I have no comment about which category to enter in. Mar 13th
32 Mar 23 Reply Thanks! Mar 7th

57 Mar 23 Reply I lightened the shutter dog and added a slight vignette. Mar 22nd
57 Mar 23 Comment A very creative and interesting image. The red and green lights and the placement of them really add to the image. I don't understand how the image was created, but I like it. Mar 21st
57 Mar 23 Comment A very creative and unique image. The lighting on the tubes with the shading is excellent. I like the colors and the blending of them. I would not change a thing. Mar 21st
57 Mar 23 Comment Your editing made a great improvement from the original image. You created a dreamy, high contrast image. I like that you left the buds on the right, as they are a good contrast with the flowers. A suggestion would be to crop off some of the empty area on the left and the partial bud at the bottom center. Mar 21st
57 Mar 23 Comment Wow, colors! The flower is very sharp from front to back. You improved it by flipping the image and getting rid of the distracting background. However, I think that the background is too bright and saturated. Mar 21st
57 Mar 23 Comment Excellent image of the very pretty flower. The background is dark, but not black with some green in it. Of course the water droplets and the bug add a lot to the image. I would not change a thing. Mar 21st
57 Mar 23 Comment I have never heard of the Easter Rose, but it is a very pretty flower, and you captured it well. The flower is very sharp and the background is nicely blurred. I did darken the background some. Mar 21st
57 Mar 23 Reply Thanks, good suggestion. Mar 21st
57 Mar 23 Reply Thanks, good suggestion. Mar 19th
