Jennifer, I'm visiting from group 40 at the suggestion of Andrew Hersom. I think you did a wonderful abstraction here! It is challenging to pick a color thread and follow it as it weaves and dodges across the image. Keep experimenting and having fun. |

Catherine, great experimentation! My personal taste is to like color as I think a lot of black and white is rather tepid unless there is strong composition.
If you are using photoshop, have you tried the liquify and poster filters? They might have some interesting results on this image. |

Hi Alison, I like your covered bridge and that experimented with HDR both in your camera and ACR to see which you liked best. I like your ACR version best. However, for my own personal taste I would do two further steps. In ACR, use the shadows slider to lighten the interior of the the covered bridge so the rafters show. Then in spotting I would remove the power lines behind the right end of the bridge.
Nice work!

Wonderful image Jamie and good use of you iphone. Would your image and its appeal be stronger if you isolated just a section of it? I cropped down to one shelf to see how it would look. |

Andrew, you have good suggestions. Cropping on the left: before posting, I played with cropping there. Yes, I agree I could crop there, a little but not too much for I wanted George Washington to have some space to gaze into and the foreground trees to imply depth of field. |

Prahkar, the long hallway and the repetition of arches and highlights produce a formal and interesting image. Your history of Bara Imambara is the finishing touch.
I wonder if you could burn in just a slight bit of detail in the white wall on the left side leading into the background. Not much, just a little. Also it would have been fortuitous if some person had been walking along the hallway, maybe half way down.
Nice, nice work!
As I now look at the comments of the others I see Stephen, as do you, likes an empty hallway. Ah, isn't art wonderful - we all have different opinions, each of them valid. |

Andrew,beautiful mother and offspring sharing a moment together! And you even have catchlights in the mother's eyes. I think your highlight/shadows adjustments are right on. I can't tell that you used a high ISO so you handled that well.
Great image!
Alison has some thoughtful comments but I am quite satisfied in how the image looks as you did it. |

Alison, you are too smart for me. Yes, I should have used a better cloud pattern. And yes I did some dodging and burning. I thought I was improving the early morning exposure which cast shadows but evidently not. The framing with trees, as I mentioned above, was intentional and I am glad it worked for you. Thanks for your valuable comments which are always helpful and to the point. |

Lisa, great artistry! Nice use of Topaz filters.
Would it be helpful to put a light border around the image to keep it from merging into the website black background/ |

Out of Africa - here comes his majesty, king of his domain from the swirling mists of time! Black and white is great for this, the single creature is great, the haze obscured sun is great. I can't think of any way to improve this. |

Well, Kathy, I looked at this for a few moments trying to understand what was going on. What were the walls, what was the pipe in the center? What was the face doing and what were what I took to be birds (rather than bats) doing? Then I looked down at the title and began to understand what you were doing.
I think you are stepping out of the box and having a wonderful time thinking up ways to graphically convey abstract ideas. Keep honing your creative skills!

Brad, this is wonderfully creative and imaginative! I really like the background leaves which you have curved with liquify and kept quite soft. And yes, the bug does add colorand breaks the basic symmetry.
Stunning work!
Lisa has some interesting suggestions. |

Hi Kathy, those are good comments. As I examine this again, I probably should have masked out the white sky in the top center. |
