51 Feb 24 Reply Thank you, Pam. I agree that the blue color is quite important to the scene. I do like to use a square crop, and in this case, I was trying for that 1/3-1/3-1/3 composition. Feb 13th

51 Feb 24 Reply Thank you, Lynne. I'm pleased you see the image that way. I do struggle to make images that are more than a literal documentation of a subject. I quite often fail to do it. Once in a while, though, I find an opportunity.

51 Feb 24 Reply Thanks, Sol. You make a valid point, and one I hadn't considered. Those downward lines do reflect the upward plant shapes. Thanks for pointing it out.

51 Feb 24 Reply Thanks, Dick, for your kind words. I think my edits made the image slightly abstract since there isn't a lot of detail in the bottom third. That made the shot more than just a record. I'm always trying to improve my game.

51 Feb 24 Comment Congratulations on your milestone. Regarding the photo: Good editing idea. The new background adds interest to the photo. I think it might be good to darken the area around the shoes to indicate shadows, so the subjects are grounded.

51 Feb 24 Comment I think your edits were good. Removing the sky removed a potential bright distraction. Flipping the image allows the pathway to lead the viewer's eyes into and through the image. Nice colors for this time of year, too. Nice capture.

51 Feb 24 Comment I like horses. I know very little about them, but I like them. I haven't ridden one since I was a teen. As for the photo, I prefer the color version, and I might suggest brightening the head a bit to emphasize the "face." I hope you were able to give the horse some scratches and pats.

51 Feb 24 Comment Fun capture. The little critter posed for you. I like the added interest and color of the pots. The background is pretty busy, so I might suggest cropping-in to place more emphasis on the chipmunk.

51 Feb 24 Comment Lots of muddy moving water indicating the power of the flow. I like both versions. I think the blurry water version might be improved with some additional shutter control. I've used the app Slow Shutter to capture moving water. I think it probably uses the same principle, but one can change the length of the capture to get the desired results.

51 Feb 24 Comment Nice scene. I like the precarious stacking of the rocks. It looks like a cairn made by a giant. There are objects in foreground, middle, and distance making for a nice landscape image. I have to agree that the orange rocks in the right foreground could be darkened a bit. Nice shot.
