19 Jul 24 Comment An interesting treatment of the scene. I personally think I would prefer less blur. What I am thinking would be to crop the bottom of the picture some to still have the story of the movement and jump, but a higher percentage of the image clear. Jul 17th
19 Jul 24 Comment So often fire in pictures ends up over exposed, but you have it just right. An amazing capture. The only thing I might wonder about, is in burst mode do you have one where the three batons do not intersect his head? That might be a better shot, but this one is amazing. Jul 17th
19 Jul 24 Comment This picture of your son is a treasure, very well done. I think the crop is just fine. I think part of the power of this story is that there are so many students and your son stands out from them all. I thought it was not a depth of field technique but a pan with his movement, but I think Norm is correct, you achieved a depth of field were he seems totally in focus but nothing else is. Perhaps it was both depth of field and pan effect. Whatever it is great. Jul 17th
19 Jul 24 Comment The swirls make the image unique. At first I was thinking the 8 seconds was excessive for what was needed for the waterfall, but 8 seconds was great for the swirls. Well planned and captured. The picture seems a little soft. I assume you were on a tripod but perhaps the resolution is a little low. I'm surprised at the camera settings, f/9 at ISO 800 for 8 seconds. Either a lot of filters, or perhaps moonlight or something. Jul 17th
19 Jul 24 Comment The one tomato in front of the stem creates a bit of a Center of Interest, just enough to the right to not feel centered. I like the composition with the gentle curve of the stem. I agree things seem a little soft to me. I like whatever is closest to the camera that is part of the main subject to be in sharp focus. Some falloff in the back row of tomatoes might be OK, but I think I agree, I would go for more depth of field. Jul 17th
19 Jul 24 Comment I think I like it in color as you presented it. Something about maintaining that old head lamp just the way it was in color sounds right to me. Jul 17th

64 Jul 24 Comment You took on a real challenge to get a good image of this tangle of branches. While it is not likely to win awards, I think you found a way to be up to the challenge. I think the branches wrapping the white area in the middle makes a definite center of interest in an otherwise confusing scene. I would consider a crop from both right and left to concentrate us on that area of the image even more. Jul 17th
64 Jul 24 Comment There is some perspective effect and perhaps a lean to the right, but in my opinion that actually enhances the image. It feel to me like it sort of shouts out to the world with that lean. Tones and textures are excellent. Good job. Jul 17th
64 Jul 24 Comment Thanks for the story. Understanding it makes the picture come alive. With the story, I think the sepia tone was important for the image. In my opinion the story becomes stronger by cropping from the top and the right to increase the size and importance in the frame of the dancer. Jul 17th
64 Jul 24 Comment I think the monochrome conversion was the way to go. You ended up with what would be blown out spots in color being great highlights in mono. I tend to concentrate on the beauty of the waves the way you took this with the swimmers under exposed and I am comfortable with their placement in the frame. Everything about commenting on images is giving our opinions, and they are seldom all the same. Jul 17th
64 Jul 24 Comment Good action with both a front and hind leg off the ground. Good composition, well positioned in the frame. It seemed a little noisy when I zoomed in, I find this can be a problem after my monochrome conversions and try to check and perhaps back off on a slider or two or use the modern tools to take out the noise. Jul 17th
64 Jul 24 Comment The composition is much improved with the foreground plants and table. I zoomed way in and the Moorish details are very sharp. You did well to take this with your good camera. That is what my wife, Shirley, calls her 13 Pro. I would of guessed prior to 16th century, but the Moorish craftsman were still active after the Christians dominated, or at least that is what we were told when we were there. Maybe it is just me, but I think the perspective adjustment could go further. The second story still seems to lean to the right to me. Jul 17th
