3 Jan 25 Reply Thanks, Andres. Jan 20th
3 Jan 25 Reply Thanks for your comments, Kieu-Hanh. It's interesting that I didn't notice the leaves on the ground until the image was converted to b&w. Jan 20th
3 Jan 25 Reply Thanks, Mary Ann. Jan 20th
3 Jan 25 Reply Thanks for your comments, Joan. I'm jealous that you have a fig tree in your yard, since one wouldn't grow where I live. Jan 20th
3 Jan 25 Reply Thanks for your encouraging comments, Robert. Jan 19th
3 Jan 25 Reply Ingrid, I'm so glad you visited our group. Thanks for your comments.The Moreton Bay fig trees are not nature to Kauai, but were imported for use in the Allerton Gardens. The Allerton Gardens have amazing plants that are worth a visit. Jan 19th
3 Jan 25 Reply I love the lines of the roots, which look both artistic and a bit menacing. Jan 11th
3 Jan 25 Comment Joan, your photo tells a fascinating story. I like how tiny the lighthouse is in comparison to the towering bridge. The placement of the lighthouse way at the bottom, emphasizes the difference in size. I love that the lighthouse is red, which draws my eye. Jan 11th
3 Jan 25 Comment Mary Ann, I like the sharp moon and tinted clouds in you photo. The layers of clouds add to the peacefulness of the scene. I agree with Michael, that I would prefer that the bottom land portion of the image be lighter to should more detail. You could keep the moon as a the focal point, while allowing more color and detail of the land to show. Jan 11th
3 Jan 25 Comment Kieu-Hanh, I like how you've found a unique angle of the
Taj Mahal, not the traditional front view. The tile creates amazing lines that lead my eye towards the tower. The repeating arches and rings on the tower are wonderful architectural features that you've included. The very faint skyline and distant, single figure add to the scene too. It's a serene image, helped by its simplicity.

3 Jan 25 Comment Robert, I like this portrait of the doe and its concentrated stare. In my opinion, you've done a good job of cropping with pleasant placement of the doe's head in the frame. The blurred branches in the foreground add to the feeling that you're looking through the woods to see the deer. I like the sharpness of the deer's ears, eyes, and nose. Well done! Jan 11th
3 Jan 25 Comment Michael, your series of photos capture the look and feeling of a unique place. These 4 photos as well as the images you posted in Group #83 could definitely be the foundation of a documentary photo essay. I am not bothered by the mixture of color and b&w images. I agree with you that monochrome photography can emphasize the drama, or in this case, decay of a scene. The color of the graffiti highlights change, but with sparks of life. I especially like your use of color combined with b&w on Original 2 that illustrates this combination of decay and life. Thought-provoking collection, Michael. Jan 11th
3 Jan 25 Comment Andres, I'm so sorry about your shattered window, but kudos for taking the opportunity for interesting photography. I agree with Michael and Kieu-Hanh, that the photo would fit the "abstract" category. The cracks form interesting patterns and lines. My first thought was to use these photos as backgrounds for composite images. This might work especially well with a photo of an elderly person, an old building, or antique item. Jan 11th

80 Jan 25 Comment Ingrid, the shades of purple are striking. You've captured beautiful details in the blossoms. I like your choice to use black as a background to highlight the flower. Jan 28th
