3 Aug 24 Reply Michael, you are not the only one to suggest Topaz software for sharpening. If I purchase any new software, it will be Topaz. You're right that f/ 11 or f/16 would have helped. Aug 21st
3 Aug 24 Reply Thanks, Andres. Aug 21st
3 Aug 24 Reply Robert, way to go! The border looks great and you came up with a different rotation to suggest. Thanks! Aug 21st
3 Aug 24 Reply Thanks for sharing your kind comments, Mary Ann. Aug 21st
3 Aug 24 Comment Mary Ann, excellent job of capturing this mature chimpanzee. The story you told about him makes the image more significant. Nice job of make his face stand out more with your post-processing. It's especially impressive that you got this sharp an image through glass. Aug 10th
3 Aug 24 Comment Kieu-Hanh, the vibrant colors of red and greenish yellow are what give your photo energy. The zagged line of the leaves and angles of the shapes give movement to the scene. Michael is right that it gives the illusion of being an abstract. Aug 8th
3 Aug 24 Comment Robert, you've captured a pleasantly symmetrical view of the bridge's belly. I'm glad that you straightened the top beam and brightened the turquoise color of the structure. To me, the photo looks a bit soft on the arch and through it. Aug 8th
3 Aug 24 Comment I agree with Kieu-Hanh and Michael, that your original photo has advantages. The composition of the original with the placement of the planes in a position of thirds with the long, diagonal trails move the eye well. Michael's right that having the planes farther away makes them look sharper. In this case, the plain blue sky works well to highlight the white planes. Looks like an exciting air show! Aug 8th
3 Aug 24 Reply Kieu-Hanh, thanks for your comments. You're right that a lighter frame would set it off from the background. Aug 8th
3 Aug 24 Comment I think your creative self-portrait fits well with the theme you describe. The tight crop places the camera in the prominent position of thirds which works well. Your use of b&w, with the filter to create a painterly look, produces a dramatic portrait. Obscuring your eye makes your portrait unusual and a bit unsettling. Your image gets my attention because of this. Well done, Michael!
