22 Sep 23 Comment Yes Al, you do have a good image of the rider and the horse. Additionally, the horse has all four hoofs off the ground. I think that to make them stand out more, you need to darken and blur the background more, including the red fence and writing. However, I wonder if you are willing to spend the time needed to selecting the rider and the horse. Sep 14th
22 Sep 23 Comment Kaylyn, I was not there so I am just speculating. You have a beautiful scene, but I feel it is spoiled by the foreground. I just wonder if there could be a different angle to capture more of the reflection than the foreground. You did a good job eliminating the lens flair, but they are not always a bad thing. I also wonder if you could have used the lens flair to your advantage. Using the original I cropped the foreground to get to the scene faster and toned down the bright spots and eliminated some distractions. I also straitened the tilt to the right and gave it a little Curves treatment.
I left the flair in as something different, but if you like anything that I did, you can do the same thing with the final. 		Sep 12th
22 Sep 23 Comment This is a universal subject matter and well done. I imagine that a horizontal composition would work as well. The knot, the shadow the green grass and the nail, are all part of the story and therefore not distractions. Above all, I love the texture of the wood. Sep 12th
22 Sep 23 Comment This is a very nice find Mike and one which could present lots of possibilities. Nice addition of the three birds on the roof. Three things that disturbed me at once. First a little tilt to the left, the tight cropping and the foreground branch leading from the very center of the composition. I imagine that with more time and various angels, you could have found more interesting compositions. Sep 7th
22 Sep 23 Comment You certainly did a lot of nice work Jerry and I agree with all you say. I love the contrast of the door and curtain designs. However, sometimes I think we read too much into our pictures. I have no problem with the original composition. It is very natural to me and although you did a great job relocating the cat, now it looks out of place to me. Also I wonder why you chose to place it so close to the center and not more to the left. The cat in its original place forms a nice diagonal line with the green mailbox. I would prefer to crop more from the bottom than the top, which cuts off the nice contour of the the door frame. My only suggestion is to eliminate the distracting electric wire at the top left around the door frame. Sep 7th
