Catherine, I am thinking about your wonderful image and wondering if I like the white vignette or not as a personal response. I'm deciding that I like it but in the process the foal has become slightly less sharp (maybe). I do not think a black vignette would work for this subject so you did the right thing. As to sharpness, I think you were correct to slightly diffuse the image. Great job to which I can make no suggestions! |

Welcome Lin to Group 40. Your images and comments will be a welcome challenge to all of us.
Lin, nice capture, concept, and naming of your image. I like that you kept the surface line of the water to give context. The placement of the boy to one side and the hippo works. The size difference between the boy and the hippo are startling as is the realization that only a sheet of glass separates them and their different worlds.
I look forward to how you challenge us next month. |

Jamie, this looks great in black and white. I would suggest lightening the foreground so Jenny Lake (?) is more prominent to give a feeling of depth. I also would like this image in color, perhaps using the white balance tool to take the blue cast out.
The above comments of the others are good suggestions, especially Andrew. |

Thanks for the comments Jamie. Yes, there are a dozen or two sculptures along what I think is called the Enchanted Highway. Just ask at the Park and they will give you directions. |

Awesome abstraction working with neural filters and layers!
I have no suggestions. Lin and Andrew have some interesting thoughts. |

Thanks Catherine. A huge pheasant on the skyline is a little surreal which I pumped with a stark setting and vibrant colors. Playing with the colors was fun. Well, surreal it is. |

Thanks Andrew. My thought was to take out distractions but I did lose context and scale. |

Thanks Lin Sun. I agree with you and Don that leaving in some of the signs would add a sense of scale. As to colors, now looking at them I think I may have pumped them too much. But it was fun seeing what I could do. |

Hi Don, your suggestion is good. My thought was to eleminate all distractions but I have lost a sense of scale. |

Andrew, I agree with you that the pavement needs to be there to add context.
It is a little hard to read the lettering "Food Providers". If you made the letters more white or brighter, it would be easier to read. |

Tom, I will try your suggestions.
Oh, and by the way, my wife Terry corrects me that these flowers are tulips, not roses (She was the one who purchased them in the supermarket.) |

Thanks for the comments Brad and I agree with you that the image is flat. I will play with it some more. |

Lisa, you take such joy in crafting images playing with the effects of camera and computer manipulations. I couldn't come up with a quarter of the effects you do.
This is a very balanced image with the multiple rays of blue and red light.
Brad and Tom have interesting thoughts. |

Nadia, this is exquisite composting. First of all you have captured the elements of fall which as I know them in the northern tier of the United States are wind, thunderstorms, falling dried leaves, and migrating birds. Then you combined them into a carefully crafted composite which exhibits a lot of depth. Magnificent! Suggestions? Well, just to suggest something you could have the blue garment of the figure just a little brighter but that is nit picking.
Now I have read Brad and Tom's comments. I respectfully disagree with them. I think your image is perfect as it is. |

Tom, this is a wonderful concept of your mind and then carried out in an excellent composite. I do not know the Eightfold path of Buddhism but will have to study it. The flipped masonry works and Abu is a good leader looking back to see if you are following. There is an ethereal feeling to your creation. Who am I to offer suggestions to such a work of mind and art.
Brad has an interesting thought on the egret.

Well Brad, I like the composite "Inner Silence", artfully muted from the original, and combined with the bird to speak of an inner silence. The viewer has a chance to contemplate the veins and hairs of the various leaves. There is just a lot of variety and detail to study. The bird fits in well in the leaves. And I like that you in your text described how you achieved you vision. And I like how some leaves are sharp and some are soft providing contrast.
I know we viewers are tasked to provide suggestions but I can think of none. You really notched it this month.
Nadia has some interesting suggestions but I like your image as is. |
