19 Jan 22 Comment Good timing, it looks like the sun just went below the horizon lighting the clouds without blowing things out. You used the trees in silhouette to frame the sunset. I think you did the best you could to find a foreground for the shot. The framing adds a lot. Jan 7th
19 Jan 22 Comment I think you shot it well. If you went to f/8 the flowers in the background would be sharper, but they would still not be sharp. I think it is best to make it look deliberate that you have achieved limited depth of field. You have a feeling of depth without as much distraction as far as I'm concerned. Jan 7th
19 Jan 22 Comment A very interesting subject. I never would of guessed there was a tricycle like this. A creative toy of the past. I wonder how old it is. I think you photography and processing are both well done. Jan 7th
19 Jan 22 Comment An architecturally interesting building with an equally interesting frame. The monochrome conversion seems to be well done. I think I will just say, well done. Jan 7th
19 Jan 22 Comment A beautiful shot with perhaps just past peak fall color and a nice reflection. Who would think this was in Manhattan. The bridge makes the shot and the apartment building does not detract. Well done! Jan 7th

64 Jan 22 Reply The landscape opportunities here in Arizona and many of the western states are virtually unlimited. I sometimes wish I was younger to be able to hike into the more remote places. Jan 12th
64 Jan 22 Reply I almost did this when I posted, but was in a hurry, attached is the color version that was used for the mono conversion. The lighter area at the top of the image seemed distracting in the mono and was cropped. I believe also a minor crop from the right and bottom. Some lighter areas removed that were not needed. Jan 11th
64 Jan 22 Comment Looks like a very interesting small city. It looks like they have preserved at least part of the old city wall, perhaps a main gate. This looks like a place to stop since we are doing a Midi canal cruise ending perhaps not far from here and probably going to Barcelona to get a flight out. I will do some searches on this place. I think it might work to crop some from the left. The tree might do an even better job of framing the most interesting part of the city. Jan 7th
64 Jan 22 Comment Pictures like this can suffer from a lake of a center of interest, and some of them, the patterns themselves become a center of interest. This one seems to accomplish this and as a bonus the face in the upper left becomes something to settle on and study. In fact the dark area under the face on the left becomes, with a little imagination, a person. Jan 7th
64 Jan 22 Comment You mastered the turning a wildlife shot into a landscape shot with wildlife in it. When you don't have a longer lens this often works. Normally I am concerned about turning a lot of vegetation like this into a monochrome. It can get like an excessive load of details, but your processing to bring up the high contrast seems to of resolved that. I think you could crop from the top some. The bird becomes more centered top to bottom, but still well located left to right. I think it can work. Jan 7th
64 Jan 22 Comment We seem to have some creative people in the group this month. Another interesting shot. It seems there was a lot of dark things in this shot, so if you were in Auto ISO that might be where you ended up at ISO 1000, but I don't think it hurt anything. Modern cameras handle it well. I think the tone in the shot was a good idea. It worked. Jan 7th
64 Jan 22 Comment I agree, way over the top just for a photo. She also has paint handprints on her arms. It certainly resulted in an interesting photo however. I can't help but wonder, was the pattern in the carpet planned or was it just the way it was, in any case, I think it adds to the shot. Her hair was perfect for the shot, or else your monochrome conversion of her hair was perfect. Jan 7th
