Thanks, Stephan. Your comment, ...easily done in LR..., doesn't apply to me yet. Made me think of a conversation I had with my insurance agent last week. I'm moving to a new apartment 2/29/20 and the insurance company's software can't handle the 29th. I told my agent that I was a programmer in the 1970's and a simple "if" statement was all they needed - if the last 2 digits of the year are divisible by four, the 29th is acceptable, else it's not. That's similar to where we differ on "easily done in LR". |

Thanks, Bob. I think the crop is good, but not the B&W and, definitely, not the flip! |

Thanks, Bob. The colors, as I remember them, were slightly less vibrant than my processing. |

I like your version of B&W, which has a better tonal range. There definitely are images that are better in B&W. Go visit a few of the monochrome groups where you'll normally see the original posted alongside the mono conversion. |

Really nice image, Tam. I like Bob's treatment. |

I like this image. I have a couple of granddaughters (sisters) who participate in competitive cheer, which is a whole different thing than cheering at a school sports event. I have found it almost impossible to get an entire image in focus. Not to mention, trying to isolate one of them in a group of 30, or more, fast-moving, flipping, flying, twisting bodies. |

Here it is just flipped & cropped. |

Great beach shot, Judy! I took Bob Legg's idea to flip and convert to B&W, add Bob Wills' idea to crop (only top & bottom). I like the flip and crop, but not the B&W. What do you think? |

Very nice image! Agree with the cropping suggestion. I tried taking a similar shot of NYC last November during a visit with my brother in Hoboken, NJ. Cold, windy, no tripod all lead to "no shot". I'll probably give it another go when the weather warms up and my brother and I get together. |

I really like the composition, and I like the B&W image. |

Thanks, Carol. My recollection about the distance is that it was fairly close, the plant was rather small and I was kneeling on the path in front of it. |

WOW! This image just jumps out of the screen at me. Perfect title. I agree with Carol's and Lou's comments. I'm wondering about the source of those blue areas? Camera WB settings? |

This is a great image. A couple of things are very interesting to me: the 83 year-old coin is in great shape, that you used only natural light, and that you handheld the camera/lens. Outstanding results! |

This is a really intriguing and beautiful image. Never would have guessed it was a hosta leaf. And, while I'm a pretty patient guy, I do not think I possess the patience for 41 shots. I also prefer the color image. Really good work! |

I'm always on the lookout for unique tree features, including bark. I'm sure I'd have stopped to evaluate this one. I like your texture capture. You were there, so you know better that we what the impact of stepping back would have on the image. Having said all that, I agree that the idea of cropping out the right side a bit would improve the image. |

To answer the question of removing the color, when I was ready to submit the image to Carol, the flower appeared as a pale orange and I couldn't figure out why that happened. I think it's my notebook screen. Seeing it displayed here, it looks exactly as I saw it in the meadow. |

Interesting image of what's become a very common scene in today's world. Agree with the comments about the pole and wiring. I think a larger crop from the bottom, up to the subject's elbow, would draw the focus to the subject. |

The story I see is that one of the young giraffes has decided it's walked enough and is taking a break while the parent and the other young giraffe patiently wait to continue their journey. Very nice conversion of a seemingly placid scene. |

My very first thought on seeing this image is that I was looking at a whale's tail. I've never attempted droplet photography so I have no knowledge of what's involved. I like the reflections in the "floating droplets". I'm wondering if your reflection is in the very center? |

Very nice, Arne. Reminds me of the front of a paperback mystery or crime novel. I like that you darkened the lighting in the background - gives the image a more mysterious feel. |

Now that you've pointed it out, it's easy to see. I noticed it was there when I was looking at the image, but didn't look close enough to see that it was your arm, hand and a bit of your head. |

Welcome to the group, Victor!
I like the "I'm watching you watching them watch something we can't see" theme. Nice composition to capture all of that. Also interesting that I can't find your reflection in the window - did you remove it? |

Agree with all the previous comments. Interesting that you painted a face that was in the process of being painted. Neat shot! |

Interesting composition idea, colors that grab my eyes, pretty sharp - except for the motion of the left foot of the person on the left, but that's in keeping with the title. Nothing not to like about this image. |

I think I've passed up on more of these photo ops than I've stopped and made an image. Maybe I should rethink that? I like Ed's B&W conversion. Your image, for me, does showcase the irony of the setting. |

I agree with Carol's suggestion about Jon Fishbein's Image Analysis course. I don't know of anyone who's taken Jon's course who doesn't think it was worth the time and effort, and they've all said they've benefitted from it. |

I think your intent was good and it's a scene not unlike many I've been drawn to in the past. However, I lean toward Carol's comments on this image. My second, or third thought was wondering what it would look like if it were more vertically oriented and cropped on both side, but more heavily on the the right. I did that and wonder what you think of the image I attached? I also wondered if you had considered stepping to the right and making a more angled image to eliminate the sources of objection on right side? |

Very nice image, Ed. I especially like the pastel shades. Your composition is very good - I like the charcoal colored rectangle in the foreground (lights?) which works as a kind of demarcation line. Picking a nit, wondering if you considered removing the partial painting about the viewer's head and the verbiage on the wall to the right of her face? |

Thanks, Carol. My original intent was to crop on the right at the start of the phone stand, so the image would have included both doors and the window. Take a look at my comment to Stephen for an explanation about boy which I think will give you my thinking on the reason the image looks as it does. |

Thanks, Stephen. I waited for the child to enter the frame before I snapped the shutter because I wanted to include him in the image. However, when I pulled the image into LR, I couldn't find a way to eliminate the ceiling light reflections on the side of the train. I you have a suggest on how I can accomplish that, I'm all eyes! |
