Lisa, I'm so excited for you to get to visit Tokyo and the Olympics! How thrilling! I like your street photography image of this fashionable young lady. Your cropping helps me focus on just the young woman. The diagonal lines on the ground and red plaid in the background make the image look upbeat and trendy. The face right behind the girl's head is unfortunate, since it's a bit distracting (but that is part of street photography). |

Mary Ann, I like the bright coloring on the moth's back. I especially appreciate your second version with the direction of the moth flipped and the rock darkened to give more contrast. By the way, kudos on your quail photo that is part of the PSA DD opening photo collection. The quail are a bird I rarely see, so that makes your image unique for me. |

Kieu-Hanh, your photo is getting me thinking about fall! I love the autumn golds of the gingko trees. Your choice of the portrait orientation works well for the trees in your image. The subtle line of the path leads my eye into the image. The blue of the sky sets off the golden leaves. |

Kieu-Hanh, thanks for your comments. As far as high-key processing, I've found it works the best if the background is very light or white. In this case, the background is quite dark. I think I'd lose a lot of detail in the bees if I tried to make it a high-key image. Thanks for thinking creatively though. I might have to find a photo to try to make high-key. |

Michael, thanks for your comments. This particular flower attracted a lot of bees, which made it easier to try different shutter speeds. |

Randolph, I like the angle of the parrot's back and how the bird is looking at the viewer. The parrots feathers are beautifully colored and sharp. I agree with Kieu-Hanh, about going ahead and cloning out the car wheel. It's still identifiable, and therefore doesn't add to the portrait of the parrot. |

Michael, I appreciate your experimentation with the filters for this image. I do like the edited version better, because of the softness of the background. I'm intrigued that Washington has blue wild asters. Here in Colorado, we have purple and yellow wild asters, but I don't remember seeing blue ones. I'd prefer a slight cropping off the top to limit the amount of open space above the top flower. |

LuAnn, what a beautiful and colorful abstract image! Thanks for explaining how you took the shot. I like both versions of the bubbles. |

LuAnn, Mary Ann, and Kieu-Hahn,
Thanks for your comments. I understand what the three of you are saying about the white of the flower centers distracting from the bees. The centers were not over-exposed according to RAW on my computer, but merely showing the white of the flower centers vs. the bright pink of the petals. In this new version, I brought down the level on the whites a bit, then cloned some to bring more pink into the center. Do you like this better? |
