15	Mar 18	Comment	One of the reasons I like night photography is because the lighting is so exciting - so many different colors depending on the type of light. I like these colors as is; I would not change the color temperature if it were mine.	Mar 29th
15	Mar 18	Comment	One of the wonderful old lighthouses still found in CA, Point Arena is one of the favorites. You have given us a strong diagonal line of the coast to lead us in to the lighthouse and it was nice that you captured the red roofed keeper's house, as well. The weather was pretty boring at the time you took your shot. I can't help but think that better weather and earlier or later in the day would have given more interest to this photo. It is fun to peruse the cliffs on the way to the lighthouse, however, and they do well in this kind of lighting.	Mar 13th
15	Mar 18	Comment	Rick, You truly live in a wonderful spot. You have entertained us with your backyard in many seasons. You have given us a wonderful leading line to the mountains in the distance. The thing hanging looks like an icicle. But I would consider removing the black object on the window sill as it catches one's eye and takes away from the very beautiful vista we see here.	Mar 13th
15	Mar 18	Comment	A beautifully lighted bowl using your cross polarization, a good technique. It makes is look like a jewel, a wonderful bubble of glimmering colors. Just goes to show what you can do with the cheapest and simplest of subjects. Good work!	Mar 13th
15	Mar 18	Comment	Tianji, There are wonderful lights and reflections everywhere and you were wise to keep the black sky to a minimum. Although Photoshop could help you do what you want, I think it is better to have the tree in the lower right dark and the sky or buildings at the top are fine as they are. Otherwise, you wouldn't have enough contrast. The bright bridge leading to the lighted building of interest is enough lighting for my taste. Nicely done!	Mar 13th
15	Mar 18	Comment	Linda, You did a great job getting her to pose for you. A very lovely lady. The only suggestion I have is to remove the hand which seems to come from nowhere. The background is good matching her clothes and provided an excellent counterpoint to her face. I had just seen a woman in the hospital waiting room with a huge head of hair the would have made a wonderful image, but, sadly, didn't have the guts to approach her. Good for you.	Mar 13th
15	Mar 18	Comment	Your angle is wonderful. The shininess and reflections on the ground really help this. The two colored figures going into the entrance are great, but even more so are the two silhouettes of the man and woman closer to the photographer. What a difference they make: it turns a lovely image into something much stronger and mysterious. The key stoning actually adds to this image and I wouldn't try to straighten it, as you chose not to do.	Mar 13th

21	Mar 18	Comment	Well, Green and magenta are on opposite sides of the color wheel, so it certainly has a dramatic punch. The use of green for all of the granite is a bit much for my eyes, however. Maybe making the foreground one color, the mountains another and the sky the third color might work better. Good joke, though.	Mar 13th
21	Mar 18	Comment	Marie, The texture certainly makes the difference. It takes something that has some bad highlights, very distracting, and turns it into a painting. It's really beautiful. I also like your use of the various elements surrounding the boat and reflected in the water to act as a frame. I tried removing the reflection above the woman and found the image had lost something it needed. Very nicely done. Just as an aside, our Council does not allow the use of textures or backgrounds that are not of our own making.	Mar 12th
21	Mar 18	Comment	Nancy, I think these are simple, strong, note cards. Did you put any text on the front or inside? The use of monochrome works really well and the pink daisy is very sharp throughout. Did you do any focus stacking? This is the second iPhone image this time. The no. of pixels has increased so much that it is almost equivalent to a DSLR. But you still have the problem of no zoom unless you buy one of the auxiliary lenses. A lovely idea, well executed.	Mar 8th
21	Mar 18	Comment	This is beautiful. It really makes me think of winter because almost everything is in white. Besides the leaves which to me represent snowflakes, I see that you also put some brush stars on the right side, which adds even more to the impression. Your composition is excellent. It's an interesting creation that does imply winter, although the individual elements do not.	Mar 8th
21	Mar 18	Reply	These colors are not from a dress, but from waving cloths that make them look like beautiful bubbles. The black marks were there, and, yes, I should remove them.	Mar 8th
