7	Apr 26	Comment	I really like the image and there are already several options presented above. I like that Butch made the man brighter and also like that Hoshedar made the image darker. Butch brought out a lot of detail in the left side of the image, but to me that is not needed as we know what is there and reduces the mystery. Hoshedar made the whole image darker which to me adds mystery to the image. So, I selected the man and the area around him and made it a touch brighter and then inverted the selection and made the rest of the image a bit darker.	Apr 16th
7	Apr 26	Comment	Great pose of the bird and it is very sharp with an excellent background. I agree that you need to crop off part of the bottom. I think that Hoshedar went too far and like Judith's crop. Her crop shows the two flowers and the bird in a triangle.	Apr 16th
7	Apr 26	Comment	You have a very nice story telling image that is also very simple. The framing is perfect and the clouds at the top do not bother me. As mentioned above, the shutter speed is perfect to capture the water droplets coming off the tail. It sounds like you had a great trip even with all the rain.	Apr 16th
7	Apr 26	Reply	Yes, it does, thanks for the suggestions. I did like the story of the truck being overgrown by the tree, but it is better photographically with your suggestions. Thanks again. These DD groups are really a great help.	Apr 2nd
7	Apr 26	Reply	I cropped some off the left, saturated the truck a bit more, darkened the logs, and replaced the leaves on the right side of the back window with dark tree branches.	Apr 2nd
7	Apr 26	Reply	Thanks, I agree that I need to crop some off the left. I guess that I should have included the original. I did increase the saturation of the truck. There was some junk in the back window of the truck, and I thought that it would be better to use the stamp tool and fill it with leaves. One of my thoughts with the truck was to bring out the fact that it is getting over grown with trees. But looking at it again, maybe I should have filled the junk area with dark branches?	Apr 2nd

32	Apr 26	Comment	You have great depth of field and the image is sharp. The coupling rods leading us into the image is very good. I like the angle of the rails. It is good that you are showing all of the wheels. I would not change a thing.	Apr 16th
32	Apr 26	Comment	This is a very interesting image and your write up of what it is helps a lot. I would leave the flood lights in the image. Other than add some room at the top as already mentioned, I would not change a thing.	Apr 16th
32	Apr 26	Comment	You did an excellent job of photographing white birds on the white background. I really like the image of the two dancing birds and think that mono is a good choice for them. I hope that the treatment of your diagnosis goes well.	Apr 16th
32	Apr 26	Comment	You have really good separation with the bird from the background. The background does not bother me. I like some ripples in the water as to me it makes it look more natural. The small bubble on the water as Stephen mentioned is very interesting. It is more evident in the color image but I am not sure how to bring it out in the monochrome. I do like the colors in the original image.	Apr 16th
32	Apr 26	Reply	The green could be coming from the foliage around the truck.	Apr 16th
32	Apr 26	Comment	Processing certainly can make a difference it appears. Your old camera is working very well. I played with your original image and also reversed it. To me that gives the image a center of interest as the stairs leads us to the door at the top of the stairs. I did lightened the window there some.	Apr 16th
32	Apr 26	Comment	What fun that must have been. Your friend did an excellent job with her outfit, makeup and expression! The image does not seen too soft to me, especially the mono. As Sumdutt said, a hair light is always good to use, just don't make it too strong. I think that her hands are too large and to dominate. I selected the background and darkened it, and then used the dodge tool to lighten the head piece to separate it from the background. I used the burn tool to darken her hands. I made her face a bit lighter when I converted to mono in Photoshop.	Apr 4th
