Lance, I looked at the photos on your website. The image of the cross at Taos Pueblo is striking. You've got a great eye for black & white photography.

Mary Ann, I like your monochrome version of the scene. I often convert photos like this to b&w. The monochrome fits with the look of old architecture. |

Thanks for your comments, Kieu-Hanh. As I mentioned in my response to Lance, the sky really did have a lot of clouds that were brought out when I brought down the highlights. I love the ladders too. Some of the buildings are 1,000 years old and originally had not doors, only holes in the roof. I too like the beehive ovens. They were throughout the pueblo complex. |

Michael, thank you for your helpful comments. I did a bit of straightening. However, the lines of the building were not straight as shown by the uneven line of the foundation. Thanks for your comment about adjusting the luminosity.
I did take photos of details as well as shots of other buildings. I must admit that my go-to in this type of photo is a conversion to monochrome. The colors of the window frame and chiles are what me keep the color. |

Lance, thank you for visiting Group 3. I appreciate your comments. We visited Taos Pueblo on a very overcast day, in fact it rained while we were there. By the time we left, it was about an hour from sunset. For those reasons the higher ISO was helpful. The sky was real. Clouds were revealed as I adjusted for highlights and shadows. The warming of the colors was personal preference, since the lighting was flat with all the clouds.
I'd never visited Taos Pueblo, but I can see why it's a favorite for you to wander. The history is fascinating. |

Mary Ann, I think the golden light on the cranes is beautiful.
The wings in different positions and natural grouping of the birds provides an attractive composition. Your decision to pan on the cranes worked well to keep the birds sharp while blurring the background. Nice job, Mary Ann. |

I like the authentic, traditional look of the dancers in your photo. The background scenery and darkly clouded sky provide a wonderful setting for the performance. The colorful costumes, ribbons, and palanquin add to the vitality of the scene. I'd prefer that the dancers and palanquin be sharper. Plus I think, the faces of the dancers could be brighter, since they're backlit and in shadow. |

Robert, I like how sharp the head of the fox is in your photo. His staring eyes are compelling. I would prefer that the branch in front of the fox be sharper, so it wouldn't distract from the fox. I am impressed that you can find wildlife like this fox so close to your home, Robert. How amazing! |

Michael, the bright golds and blues in your image attract my attention. The white trunks of the trees work particularly well in ICM images in my opinion. When I have experimented with ICM images, I have sometimes used added detail in one section of the photo by using a composite image (For example, just on the trees). Have you explored with the idea of using a composite that includes an ICM photo? Just curious about what experiments you've tried, Michael. |

Andres, you did a good job of extending the canvas of your photo to include the whole painting. It looks much better in my opinion. I also appreciate how much sharper the image is. Including the visitor who is examining the painting adds interest to the photo. Since most of the photo is blacks and whites, it makes sense to convert it to b&w. It's a powerful painting. |
