39 Mar 18 Comment Isn't you camera smart to have bumped into this image :-)! I think you got a wonderful crop of the vegetable and fruit, keeping them separated enough but tying them together in tonality to give us a good sense of the environment they were in. I agree with David that the sharpness is a little bit overdone, though some sharpness promotes the sense of a still life photograph. On a personal note, I just worked on an image I took in Italy of the same kind of onions though I kept it in color. Food is a uniter!

39 Mar 18 Comment Love the story and your interaction with this young 82 year old and that you helped her. I don't mind that the image is a bit posed since she has such a sincere and happy smile. My suggestion would be to employ a radial filter to isolate her and the cart more. Also, the jugs are just a bit too bright for me. I'd like to see a little more contrast and tonality. Mar 22nd
39 Mar 18 Comment As I have been studying and working hard to learn and use luminosity masks, I can appreciate what you have achieved in terms of tonality, depth and continuity in this image. I, too, love the dust being blown by the threshers. I appreciate that you stopped to try to capture this scene. Hopefully you weren't too late for your meeting :-). Mar 22nd
39 Mar 18 Comment While I am familiar and have done slow shutter speed work through a dedicated app, I did not realize this could be done with the iPhone 8. Thanks for the lesson! I love the sense of movement and mystery you achieved in this image. The angle at which it was shot adds to the movement taking the eye with the train and it leaves the station. I've got to try this!

39 Mar 18 Comment I think the secondary title to this image could be wheels. How patient and smart of you to wait until you had some interest in the background and to be bicycles which echo those dense strong wheels of the wagon is brilliant. Your textures and tones create a shimmering affect which sets up an almost magical mood to a basically mundane scene. Mar 22nd
39 Mar 18 Comment David, Before I read your question about the weeds, my immediate thought upon seeing your image for the first time was that I'd rather not have the weeds. I agree with Vincent that a feeling of vastness of the white snow in the foreground would set off not only the trees, but the lovely shadows on the snow. I quite like the panoramic crop. Mar 22nd
