7	Mar 26	Comment	A very nice image with the beautifully lit cactus and cactus flowers against the very blurry dark blue and orange sky. It was well worth your early morning drive! Strange what NIK did to the image. I selected the dark area and removed it with the Remove tool. I also noticed an unusual brighter blue area below the open blooms and the dying bloom and selected it and used the clone tool to fill it in.	Mar 21st
7	Mar 26	Comment	I would not worry about the title, to me for pictorial images a title is not needed. If you need to describe what or where the image was take that is another thing, but this is just a nice stream in a wooded location. I like the "Y" of the merging streams with the light area in the calm water in front leading us into the image. Using a long shutter speed made the water smooth and that is calming for viewers. I did crop some off the left side and some off the bottom as Judith also did. I did get rid of the orange leaf in the lower right. I really like the image.	Mar 21st
7	Mar 26	Comment	You have created a nice story. The storm blowing the tree, with another tree having been blown down. You did an excellent job of changing the sky.	Mar 21st
7	Mar 26	Comment	You have a very nice sharp image of the yellow bird on a pretty flower. The bird is looking at us and even has a catch light in the eye. I would not tone down the background, it is very blurry and the blue and yellow are complementary colors. I did reverse the image and cropped off some of the bottom and side behind the bird. This makes the bird and flowers larger in the frame. I hope that you do well in the competition.	Mar 21st
7	Mar 26	Comment	You have a nice scenic image, with the boardwalk leading us into the image. I disagree with Butch that there is no center of interest, as the yellow tree draws me straight to it. I really like what Butch did to the image in cropping in and reversing it. It has the golden field that you said that you like and the boardwalk leading us the the yellow tree. It still has the fog or mist, and the mountain side. It does not have the bald white sky that is not needed. One of the best ways to deal with a bad sky is to crop it off.	Mar 21st
7	Mar 26	Reply	Good suggestions, thank you.	Mar 8th

32	Mar 26	Reply	If I blurred the hillside area above the roofs, would that help?	Mar 18th
32	Mar 26	Comment	Good composition in your original color image, it is very story telling. The antiqued look is the perfect way to go. Well done.	Mar 17th
32	Mar 26	Comment	Your crop is perfect. I like the mono much better as all of the bright colors distract from the pattern story. I can see people in some of the glasses, and maybe you in 2 of them. You find the most interesting items to photograph in stores.	Mar 17th
32	Mar 26	Comment	You created a very dramatic image, and I like the tighter crop. You have nice separation from the background, but I would have liked to see more of the background, not just black.	Mar 17th
32	Mar 26	Comment	An interesting image, obviously with your fisheye lens. The mono is much better than the color. I will say that it does not look like a stick structure to me, only some dense woods behind her.	Mar 17th
32	Mar 26	Comment	A nice image of the lynx, and I like the mono better than the color. The blurred trees don't bother me, and in fact, I think that they help balance the image. You did a nice job with exposing the snow. I agree with Stephen that the blue streaks in the sky are missing in your mono image, so I included them back in.	Mar 17th
