10 Apr 17 Comment Intriguing interior image of a strange house! Good colors and composition. However, as with most interior shots with windows, exposing for the inside blows out details on the outside. The only real solution to this is to shoot multiple images for HDR. Decreasing highlights in Lightroom or Photoshop will help somewhat.
But I also agree with David that composition should be more important than brightness/exposure in our Digital Dialogue comments, due to the output variability of different computer monitors! Aside from the difference between Mac and PC monitors, you also have the effect of viewer angle on brightness for an LCD laptop (like mine). If I bend down in my seat or push the screen back, David's image appears darker and more saturated. 		Apr 24th
10 Apr 17 Comment A very good capture with great storytelling potential. I also think it's a great example of selective focus. The subject is COMPLETELY in focus, the background is completely blurred. Exposure and color vibrance are also optimal. Well-done! Apr 24th
10 Apr 17 Comment You got a good photojournalism capture here: a close-up of the musician's face and his instrument! The background, though detailed, is not distracting. However, the musician's shirt, bow and fingers are completely blown out due to overexposure. You can recover some of the lost detail by reducing the highlights slider in Lightroom or Photoshop (see John's comment above). Apr 24th
10 Apr 17 Comment You got a great pose here - not easy to do! The cheetah is frozen in place and looking intensely straight at the camera. The background is also just right - the foliage frames the cheetah. The image is a little flat - I would increase the contrast to add impact. I would also warm the image up by increasing the color temperature. Apr 24th
10 Apr 17 Comment An impressive study in texture! The snakeskin scales show up in great detail due to the strong contrast provided by the B&W conversion. The black hole in the "snake" tells viewers that it is a snakeskin and not an actual snake. My only quibble is that the image needs a white border to prevent merging with the webpage background.
