19 Apr 25 Comment You can't look without studying it and wondering how almost all windows seem to have a reflection that has little connection to the reflections around it. This is the kind of image that some might consider busy, but I don't think it is. The impact of the image is created by the busy of it. Apr 22nd
19 Apr 25 Comment I like this view because it emphasizes the incedible hills of deposits over the years. I suspect that stephen has a good point of there being another good image taken from farther right which might concentratate more on the pools and the people. In any case a very unusual image that you can't look at without staying and studying it. Apr 22nd
19 Apr 25 Comment This image has a strong story and impact just the way you captured it. My mind wanders to who was this woman? Was she homeless? You can't look at it without thinking about the story. I think I would prefer if you had been a couple of feet to the right to get the lightpost more like a frame on the left and show a little more of the curve of the sidewalk, but this is a very nice capture just the way it is. Apr 22nd
19 Apr 25 Comment The level of detail you captured is wonderful. There is a lot to wonder about looking at this nest with the variety of building materials. Apr 22nd
19 Apr 25 Comment I think your choice of getting close and personal with it was a good one, but I would like to see the image rotated so the horizontal lines at the bottom of the image were horizontal and I would consider eliminating what is below that line. Apr 21st
19 Apr 25 Reply I understand your comment, but I considered the importance of the ancient walls to be an important part of the image. It has also been said that I should have gotten closer to get the trees off the church, but that would of required going into the labrintth of ancient walls and that didn't seem aprropriate. Apr 21st
19 Apr 25 Reply I should of mentioned, yes, the walls are those of an earlier building. The first town on the black sea was at this location. Those walls are very old. Apr 21st

64 Apr 25 Comment I was glad to see stuart's comment because I was feeling out of step with everyone else. I think the image improves cropping the bottom up to the darker area in the middle and left. Then the aspect ratio gets pretty narrow and I would crop in from the right but only so the barn stays close to the 1/3 in from the left side. Intresting, just demonstrates that there generally are not right or wrongs on good images. We all have opinons however. Apr 22nd
64 Apr 25 Comment I clicked on the second image and it opened up, and yes it is noticeably better. The first one doesn't have enough contrast in the city lights to make them "sparkle" or stand out as individual lights. When I click on your second one it does. I think the composition is excellent with lots of depth with the bridge in the foreground and the bridge and island in the background. Apr 22nd
64 Apr 25 Comment I see it as a full range of tones or at least as close to that as I would go. It has a "true black" in some of the shadows and as close to white as I would want to go in the whites, I have a feeling it could have more punch with more contast in the mid-tones especially in the area through the middle with the person and his shadow. I really like all the lines of the "slabs" of floor on the right pushing out ino the pool. Apr 22nd
64 Apr 25 Comment The picture is in the curves, lines and shadows of the grass and that is well done. Picking a subject and position with side light was critical to the image you obtained. I think the critical thing in the image is that every strand of grass and shadow stands out in contrast to what is behiind it and that is what you did. I am ok with the background but might take down the tones of the hill in the background but don't let the tone of th hill loose contraast with the grass in front of it. Apr 22nd
64 Apr 25 Comment I agree, I wish there was more on the left and less on the right to not have him so near the side of the picture he is "lookung" out of. I think there would be an improved result if you hung around to get a shot afer he lost interest in you and went back to work. Apr 22nd
64 Apr 25 Comment This is a captivating image. It insist that you look at it. The chevrolet badge is too dark for my taste, buu the "bird" above it is awsome. There might be several versoins to consider. I think the symmetry always needs to be maintained, but it might be even stronger cropping in on both sides some, checking what looks good in steps. Apr 22nd
64 Apr 25 Reply Your recommendation about shsooting from in closer is a good one from the photography point of view, but I did not want to go into that labrinth of anchient stones. I didn't know what this was but found out later that the oldest city on the black Sea was on this spot, so these stones could be really old. Apr 22nd
