I was thinking, I would crop it under the first tree on the right and so the walk on the left starts just above the corner of the image. If you don't like the square resulting composition, you could crop the top a small amount, perhaps just close to those two strong branches leading toward the left. For me, the haze makes the image. Well done! |

You did not mention it, but it looks like you were panning with the car to minimize the apparent motion with the car but add motion to everything else. This is alternative to showing the motion in the moving object. Either results in the feeling of motion you want and this is working well. The result fits Photo Journalism which seems strong with high contrast whites and blacks, but considering cropping the white on the left makes sense to me. The blurred black and white strip in the street really makes the motion strong, but if you do crop the left, I think I would crop the bottom but not too close to that stripe. |

I think more detail in the shingles being discarded would help the viewers understanding of the story. I would consider cropping the right to totally remove the other section of roof. I think the image is clear without it. The textures of the stone work on the building are special. You might want to try lightening them and/or adding more contrast to make them stand out. A nice image, but it is always good to consider what changes might make it stronger. |

Anything I would say, seems to have been said. I think more detail in the shingles being discarded would help the viewers understanding of the story. I would consider cropping the right to totally remove the other section of roof. I think the image is clear without it. |

With that much black background and semi-automatic exposure would turn it grey, so your -1.7 EV was apparently right on. Another pretty centered image if I have the edges of it right on the black background, but that works for me. I think it could use some more space at the top, but with the black backgound that should be easy to add. |

I am not a big fan of vignettes unless I don't notice them. I did not notice this one, but now that you told me, I like it. I like that the green vegetation completely frames the statue. To me, the near white leaf on the left is a distraction. I would consider darkening it a bit more or cropping it out. I like the formal look with the statue centered breaking the rule of thirds. Cropping would defeat that, so I would try darkening it more but be careful it doesn't turn grey. That may mean darkening but also increasing the saturation. |

John, it is interesting to hear how you envisioned this image just noticing the patterns on the wall. Another example of your creative compositions. A very satisfying composition. I agree with Harriet however, I would like to see a little more space at the top. |

The shadow patterns over the photograph worked great. Good eye. This is a very nice image, but it might be fun to play with it a bit. I would consider cropping just a bit from the top to make the space above the outer frame the same as below it. If you could get the tones to have more contrast between the outer frame and the background in the upper left I think the image would improve. Some more fun might be to mask through to have selective color for the original photo on the wall. I like to play with good creative images. |

I think the image would be much stronger without the second flower behind it. Just cropping close works fairly well. The graying you did in a reply helps, but I think it would help even more to darken that flower and the background. Then you might even be able to crop into the back flower since it is clearly not being considered important. |

This image is about lines. Lines show up very well in monochrome. Lines show up really well with high contrast. This image has the high contrast of white lines on a black background. In my opinion this makes an excellent monochrome image. Showing the perspective shift is very effective in this image. The foggy effect near the top makes it even better. Well done. |

An interesting and compelling abstract either in color or mono. I really like the color version, with the areas of blue and tan tones, but the mono really seems to bring out the fine details. Notice the area of fine detail near the center about 1/3 of the way up for comparison. There is an area in the upper left and top where this level of detail could probably be achieved, but that would probably detract and was best left the way it was. Nice job. |

The story is a good one. We can see the spikes on his feet and the band around the tree. Perhaps the mystery of what he is looking at is part of the strength of the image. In any case, the mystery could probably not be solved with the image. I agree, that perhaps the shadows, particularly on his face could be opened up more and a bit more detail in some of the black areas of tree limbs and vegetation. Overall a good image. |

The detail, range of tones, and contrast of picture elements in the conversion is excellent. I also like square composition for this image. An excellent specimen and taken to result in a good background. |

There was not a lot of room on the dock. We had been shooting shots down at her, see on G19. I needed wide for that. We decided to try a portrait and went with the same setup. This is with a micro 4/3 which is equivalent to 24mm. The main thing is to not be too close to the person. I probably could of gone out to 24mm or so. |
