Thanks Ling Ling. Every day the sky and clouds are infinitely varied. I will watch for a day of lower clouds. |

Thanks Andrew. Next time I will go down from the deck to the lawn and get more of the bushes included. Then we can compare the two views. |

Thanks Jamie. Yes, I could crop out the branches but on reflection I will leave them in to provide context that this was taken from the shore. Call it artist's choice. |

Thanks Julie. Yes, it would help to lighten the boat on the right. And yes, we have been affect by the Canadian fires, a yellowish haze on some days and watery eyes and running noses. But it does pass with time. |

Catherine, you achieved in this beautiful image what you wanted, the indian paintbrush and blue bonnets as the center of interest and the background muted. Great! Were I doing this, I would try to have the flowers in slightly sharper focus. Since you exposed at 1/8000th of a second, movement was not the problem. If you were doing manual focus and the wind was blowing the flower, perhaps the flower was slightly out of focus when you tripped the shutter. |

Hi Ling Ling, welcome to Group 40. You are in my favorite US city, San Francisco, with so much to photograph and so many nearby photographic locations.
As you express your emotions when you took this, I think you captured your feelings. The hoarfrost on the trees, the soft lighting and the ray of sunshine all express peace with the world. I have no suggestions to make.
I live in Duluth, Minnesota where we do experience winter and snow. Many photographers do like to delete a blue cast to snow on a clear day. But I for one, think that the blue cast is part of winter and will often leave it in. You could call it artist's preference. |

This is a wonderful heart shaped iceberg. Perhaps playing with the sliders in Camera Raw could give you more of what you want. Here is what I came up with which may be too extreme. |

Julie, this catches one's eye! The leaf colors and the cobweb are magnificent together. This would grace anyone's wall.
The only suggestion which is just nitpicking would be to try to tone down the leaf highlights slightly but that is probably impossible to do. |

Lots of pleasing symmetry here Andrew which I like. I almost have a feeling of vertigo looking straight up to the ceiling. I like the way you have brought out the color of the brick and the highlights of the windows have been handled.
To nitpick, it might have been nice to have some detail in the foreground to be a center of interest but probably there wasn't any detail to center on. Keep taking cruises and getting your interesting images. |
