19 Mar 25 Comment This person and your capture are excellent. By the way under current rules this might not do well in a Photo Travel section because it looks like it was taken in a studio which is not appropriate. If one judge concludes that it probably will not be accepted. PTD images are supposed be images taken when traveling, not in a studio. I am pretty sure from the wall behind that it was not taken in a studio, but the judges can't tell. Mar 30th
19 Mar 25 Comment Jay, sorry I am so late. I thought I commented some time ago but I did not. This is a picture of the sky, the mountains are just a base for it. I was surprised going to tanzania that the locals seemed to put the horizon very near the bottom and forget the rule of thirds. I learned to like that and started using it on some images. I think it works with this image and you might look and see if you like it. You can do it here just by scrolling the image down a bit. Actually with the black on black down thee I can't tell very well where the bottom of the image is. Mar 30th
19 Mar 25 Comment Your conversion was wonderful. This becomes a treasure to frame for you and perhaps give copies to some others in your family. Mar 30th
19 Mar 25 Comment The northern lights through the clouds result in a unique image. Using the lighthouse as the foreground object is very appropriate and I like it, but let me mention a technique we learned at the Portland Maine Conference, When taking a pictue wikth a lighthouse at night, use a ripod and get something black you can use to block light getting to the camea from the lighthouse, then you cover the lens everytime the light comes toward the camera except perhaps once. You adjust the exposure by countinig the revolutions until it gets an exposre that you like. When we did it there my exposure was 56 seconds which probably meant hat about 30 was the real exposure except that exposure of the light was only a few seconds. Mar 30th
19 Mar 25 Comment You certainly aged the image. These flower shots are beautiful, but they tend to become oredinary, you solved that problem. I like everythinig the filter did to the image, but I am not sure I like the fine lins that run through the image. Mar 30th
19 Mar 25 Comment this is a fine repetition shot. Most have one thing that repeats, this one has about everythihg repeating. It also has tremndous depth. Well done Mar 30th

64 Mar 25 Comment I consider you very creative to pre-visualize this image. I like that the foreground is in focus and that it becomes softer in the distance. I suspect your f-stop used and lens focal length were both considerations to get this result. I really like that you had star bursts on rocks from the very close to a significantt distance into the image. I personaly like that the sky is at the top of the frame. I like seeing the sky and I think the image benefits from the lighter tones of both the waves and the sky. Mar 31st
64 Mar 25 Comment I personally feel there is enough detail in the organ pipes and most of the image. I wouold probably like to see the tones brought down on some of the picture elments near the top of the image. They don't look "blown out" so I think that is possible with some selecive processing. Mar 31st
64 Mar 25 Comment I like the building on the left pointing to and leading into the buildings on the right and the name "Civic Hotel" being where they point and a clear subject area. I think I like the longer lines without the crop, but that just demonstrates that opinions vary, and geneally there is no right and wrong. It appers thre is a reflection on the building on the left. I personally would prefer to not have that. Mar 31st
64 Mar 25 Comment The imags of the person, board and waves are excellent and well placed in the frame to show off all three. I might consder a light crop of the left, but that is cerainly just an opinion. I personally think I would prefer to have the water a bit darker and more contrast and detail in the water. Mar 31st
64 Mar 25 Comment You found a good subject, but the thingss around the interesting part of the building, curved roof and glass particularly are busy. I am wondering if there was a place to stand that would get all of this and allow keeping some other things out. Yes, the image is dark, but I think that is fine, the contrast between pictue elements is good with one exception. the vegetation through the window under the roof start to blend with the main subject of the image, that great roof that is what probably attacked your attenion. Mar 31st
64 Mar 25 Comment You picked a good subject, composed it well, focused attention where you wanted it and your monchrome conversion resulted in good tonal ranges throughout with good contrast between all pirture elements. You didn't say nmuch about your processing but it worked. Mar 31st
