Thanks for your comment, Todd. I'm sure you do lots of hiking too if you're from Frederick. This was the first time that my husband and I had hiked Meadow Mountain above Minturn. It's an old ski area with a trail for hiking and mountain biking. |

I wanted the hiker to be part of the whole scene with the road and aspen trees. I composed the scene with the hiker placed on the leading line of the trail, so your eye would move forward along the trail. |

I agree with you, Kieu-Hanh, that red works well for hikers out in nature. |

LuAnn, you're right that the aspen trunks look quite white. That's the way they are in nature. Sorry, but I didn't notice them tilting. |

You're right that florescent green is not the best color for the hiker. I would have preferred a red shirt. My husband pointed out that it was hunting season. Hikers need to stay visible during hunting season to stay safe. |

Thanks for your comments, Stephen. I agree that using a skew or warp in PS can straighten the trees. |

Lisa, your image and the conversation it has evoked is interesting. The night's dim lighting on the left side and bright window lights certainly make it a challenging shot. I agree with Stephen that an interaction between the window contents and the couple would unify the shot. |

Mary Ann, I love photographing eagles too. Giving us a peek at the eagle through branches does work, especially with a closer crop like Michael suggests. You've captured nice lighting on the bird. More sharpening like LuAnn offers is also helpful. I agree that a 400 mm lens really helps for bird photos. |

Kieu-Hanh, I am amazed that you captured the butterfly still on the chrysalis. The diagonal branch creates a line leading to the chrysalis too. Because of the chrysalis, leaving the butterfly in a vertical position works for me. I like the crop that Michael did too. |

Randy, what a cool looking iguana! The spikes on his back as well as the coloring with orange and blues make him striking. I agree with LuAnn that a wider aperture like f/5.6 would blur the background more and let us focus on the iguana. I'd prefer that his eye be more prominent by lighting the schlera. |

Michael, I like the clouds in your image and the definition they have. Also, your choice of cropping the photo to be more horizontal works well. I think your choice to convert the photo to black and white has merit. However, more contrast with darkening the darks and lightening the whites would perhaps make the zigzag line more defined and make the image more dramatic. I looked at the size of file and agree with LuAnn that the small file size makes further editing difficult. |

LuAnn, I like the lighting of your image and how the downy underside of the cardinal stands out against the dark background. As far as the eyes, I admit that I usually prefer the eyes to be more visible, however a front-on view makes your photo more unusual. I like the flipped image that you showed above, especially with the light spot darkened.
Congrats on getting your photo zine out! It sounds like a sizable project. |
