Group	Round	C/R	Comment	Date	Image
7	Nov 25	Reply	I think that you have improved the image.	Nov 26th
7	Nov 25	Reply	Yes, much better. But I would get rid of the dark area in the lower right corner.	Nov 26th
7	Nov 25	Comment	Nice image, the backlighting and dust really adds to the image. It seems like they are coming home from a long day out. I like that Sis is more of a silhouette, as it adds mystery to the image. Neither rider is too close to the edge and the front rider looking back is great and makes the story.	Nov 18th
7	Nov 25	Comment	The distortion from the wide angle lens is a problem with this image. The old building is a great subject and if it is close to where you live maybe go back and try a different angle. Butch's VF to get rid of the blue and to lighten the image helps it.	Nov 18th
7	Nov 25	Comment	You captured the action very well. It is certainly a different way of lassoing a horse from the way the American cowboys do. Both Judith and Butch helped the image with lightning the shadows. Too bad there is not more space behind the pole, but it does not go out of the image. I don't think that I like that Butch reversed the image, as they are now riding out of the image instead of into it.	Nov 18th
7	Nov 25	Comment	Your creativity is in overdrive in this image! This is a great Halloween image, that seems like it should be on a card or poster.	Nov 18th
7	Nov 25	Comment	That sounds like a great trip. The iPhone did great job of capturing the image. The yellows and blues complement each other very well. The distorted reflections really add to the image. I would crop just a small amount off the top to get rid of the dark area there. Having two dark areas seems to draw my eye back and forth and away from the fish.	Nov 18th
7	Nov 25	Comment	Really great shot, the shutter speed stopped the motion and the bird is very sharp and a blurred background. Like Judith said, the upturned feathers add to the image. I like the back lighting that brightened the tail feathers. The background does not bother me, but Butch's VF helps the photogenic quality but would not be allowed in a nature category.	Nov 18th
7	Nov 25	Reply	Thanks for the comments. The ride did not get far off the ground, and your other suggestions are good. But this was taken for entry next year at the local fair, and the judges will know where it is.	Nov 6th

32	Nov 25	Comment	I like the tighter crop in the mono version. Going to mono was a good choice as the color image has too many colors that distract. The man with the raised foot really adds to the image. As previously mentioned, the halos are a distraction.	Nov 23rd
32	Nov 25	Comment	I will try again, as my comments disappeared. I am not sure what Stephen is talking about as conventional, but I like the whole image as the insert. The image is a nice change from the usual in this highly photographed location. I do like the mono better than the color.	Nov 23rd
32	Nov 25	Comment	Great image and as Stephen said, the paw being raised really adds to the image and also shows movement. The background is bright, but contrasts nicely with the dark leopard. I like the mono much better than the color.	Nov 10th
32	Nov 25	Comment	I don't think that it would do well in a PSA exhibition but it would depend on the judges -- who can do the unexpected. There are a lot of angles and the stairs leads us into the image. I like that everything comes together at the top of the stairs. The sky is white, but there is not much of it in the image.	Nov 10th
32	Nov 25	Comment	This is a very interesting old building. The lighting is very good, and your ultra wide angle lens captured it very well. There is a lot of curvature in the floor and roof, but the center of interest is the stairs so the curvature is not noticed until the image is really studied. I reversed the image and used the clone tool to get rid of the window now on the right.	Nov 10th
32	Nov 25	Comment	That is a different viewpoint for sure. It does work well for this image and having everything sharp and in focus helps. No, I do not think that the sky is too dark, and going to mono help the junk at the bottom not look bad. I thought about flipping the image, and decided not to, but in the process cropped off some of the sky on the left. That did get rid of a lot of the black sky.	Nov 10th

57	Nov 25	Comment	Interesting industrial image. I like the composition and the lighting is good. As Cindy and Bob said, the hammer could be sharper.	Nov 25th
57	Nov 25	Reply	Thanks for the comments. I did take a closer view, and used focus stacking to get everything sharp. I liked showing more of the plant, but what do you think?	Nov 25th
57	Nov 25	Comment	This is a great image with the s that are very interesting. As Cindy said, the snow adds a lot because it has a different texture. I have never be around when birch trees are growing, or at least never noticed the bark.	Nov 25th
57	Nov 25	Comment	Your editing is very good. You captured a cute animal very well, as it is super sharp and good depth of field. The eye is the main point of interest to me. I did rotate the image to move the eye into a better point for composition -- but then the horns point out of the image, so I don't know if I like it. What do you think?	Nov 25th
57	Nov 25	Comment	Very sharp with great depth of field, and I do not see any noise, so you must have corrected that. Good composition with the highest cactus in the upper right. The black background works well.	Nov 25th
