22 Dec 17 Comment Vicki, good choice and fitting for the assignment. Judging from the weathered look, my first impression was part of a boat. I love the colors, texture and sharpness. Dec 28th
22 Dec 17 Comment I also love this Jerry. The composition is just perfect and it flows beautifully. Since it sounds that you took this hand-held, the sharpness and colors are very pleasing. Dec 28th
22 Dec 17 Comment Yes, my first impression was some kind of a coin or game chip. A good idea with a little give-away and a little mystery. You have a good pattern and a nice flow from bottom left to top right. Dec 28th
22 Dec 17 Reply Yes, you both have it now. It is one of the large clam shells, but so far I do not know the actual name. Perhaps one of you know it. Dec 7th
22 Dec 17 Reply Sorry Jerry, I should have been more specific. After I select my image(s) in Bridge, I hold down Control/Command plus R and it takes me directly to Adobe Camera Raw for basic processing. Dec 7th
22 Dec 17 Reply No Marti, not a pine cone. Dec 6th
22 Dec 17 Comment Nice capture of these oats Mike and your selective focus created a lovely mood and color tones. Not sure of what to select as the focal point because my eye is going back and forth from the stalk on the right and the five on the left. If you are not interested in macro work or do not want to purchase a macro lens, for the occasional macro work, (if you already do not know) you can convert any short lens into a macro lens, by simply acquiring a reversal ring, which for instance can connect a 50mm front lens to the front of a 200mm lens. The requirements are: set the 50mm on infinity, manually open and lock the diaphragm pin in back of the 50mm lens and use manual mode for focussing.

22 Dec 17 Comment John, your Ash Tray is intriguing and puzzling. The red blotch reminds me of some kind of Nemo fish. Presuming that this is an ash tray, it can be a deign in the ash tray. The black dust could be ashes. What appears to be a fancy design cigarette (which I have never seen) is too small at 4x magnification. Below, I am guessing that it is part of a 1 and zero or part of an l and o. You have good color tones and the extreme vignetting, concentrates the eye in the center, as the focal point. Having said all that, I am stumped and I still am not sure if I am anywhere near what you have presented. Dec 5th
22 Dec 17 Comment Peggy, I too suspect that this is an instrument of some kind. Good choice, you also stumped me. The selective focus creates a good focal point, but the horizontal lines are considered to be a bit static. Since you did a tight crop, you had the option of tilting the image to the left, creating stronger upward dragons lines.

22 Dec 17 Reply Thanks Jerry. What I mean is that I used Bridge to convert the image from RAW to TIFF and utilized the Basic tools of Bridge, such as: Exposure, Contrast, Clarity, Vibrance, etc. Dec 5th
