3 Nov 24 Reply Mary Ann, thanks for your comments. I agree that sea turtles are amazing creatures and even better when you swim with them in the ocean. They glide seemingly without effort through the water. Nov 25th
3 Nov 24 Comment Joan, the nighttime lighting of this photo of Valparaiso captures beautiful reflections in the water and action of the port. All the lights shining on the Valparaiso hills make a beautiful background. It sounds like an exciting cruise! I hope you were able to explore Valparaiso in the daylight too. All the murals on the buildings are remarkable. Nov 7th
3 Nov 24 Comment Mary Ann, I love the rich colors that are in your photo. You've chosen a line on thirds for the cluster of grapes, which works well for your composition. The lighting is a challenge, even though the red and green leaves are brightened with the sunlight. You could consider using a radial mask in Lightroom to lighten and brighten the cluster of grapes, since it's backlit. Lovely fall image! Nov 7th
3 Nov 24 Comment Kieu-Hanh, I'm so glad I read Joan's second comment. That stream of cider arching into the glass is fabulous! I didn't see it initially, but thought that the man was simply showing the glasses to the onlookers. I suggest that you consider lightening the stream of cider slightly, so it's more visible. That steam of cider makes the shot! Nov 7th
3 Nov 24 Comment Robert, I like your inventive low camera angle. It does give the illusion that the line of pumpkins goes on and on. I also appreciate your composition with the diagonal line of pumpkins leading to the disappearing lines of pumpkins in the background. The fall colors make this a pleasing, seasonable photo. Nov 7th
3 Nov 24 Comment Michael, I must admit that I had to study your photo a moment to figure out what was happening, since the cell phone was blocking the tip of the spout. Like Andres, I appreciate the old and new technology, especially using the cell phone to light the barrel's hole. The lighting on the man's face is especially dramatic. I like your composition with the lines of the men's arms and the spout. Great journalistic shot! Nov 7th
3 Nov 24 Comment Andres, I like the luminous sheen that the museum walls have in your evening shot. You've emphasized the shapes of the architectural design that look abstract in your evening lighting. I appreciate the deep blue sky with the hint of clouds for the background. Nicely done. Nov 7th
3 Nov 24 Reply Thank you for your comments, Joan. We have also seen green sea turtles in the Galapagos Islands where we snorkled as the sea turtles swam beneath us. An amazing experience! Nov 3rd
3 Nov 24 Reply Michael, thanks for your helpful comments. As far as not getting too close to the turtles, the lifeguards on the beach have a solution. Red cones are placed around the turtles to provide a large safe zone where people are not allowed. There was also an endangered monk seal resting on the beach one day. I was pleased that the cones kept the monk seal from being disturbed. Nov 3rd
