Wow! Now that's going to be useful. Is there a certain app that makes it work? Or is it a function of the camera? Then it might depend on what kind of camera you have. Will definitely be trying it out. |

Thanks for all the comments. I will be incorporating them all into an image for a future competition. I especially like the idea of putting the tractor on a big grassy area so he looks ready for work instead of being on display at a County Fair. Wish I had time to redo it and post, but must get other things done. Thanks for all the ideas. |

I like everything you did with this one. I definitely would work to remove the reflection on the glasses, and comparing your result with Marla's, I notice that with hers the shadow of the frame is preserved, which seems more natural. I definitely like photos of people who wear glasses full-time to be taken with their glasses. |

Interesting angle, and I like the way the clouds come out with the long exposure. I never thought of using the phone to trigger the camera. That's neat. I've always used a cable release to trigger long exposures, but that keeps you tethered to the camera. What a great idea! |

I have to agree with Eric about the dark. This scene in the daytime would be delightful, but with the dark background I found it confusing. |

I agree that the the trees are a distraction, but do not like replacing them with a blank gray or black background. It seems to me it makes the scene seem less real. I took it into Photoshop and used the Fill with black and Fade Fill at about 48 to make the trees less of a distraction. The downside is that the horse's head is less separated from the darker level of the trees. I think that could be remedied but not sure how to attack that right now. |

I really like both images, but just to be contrary I am going to go with the HDR image. I did find that two areas called my attention or competed with the butterfly. They were the brightly colored area between the wings at the bottom, and the strong impact of the grill above the butterfly. I took it into Photoshop and used the selection tool on each area separately and then applied Fill using black and then Fade Fill until the impact of those areas receded a bit. I'd certainly keep the original image in my collection, but I think the HDR is another fun way to present it. |

After reading all the comments, I came up with a version that might really focus all attention on the colors. I cropped out everything except the trees and the charming house and fence. See what you all think. |

I have always been amazed at the colors of fall in New England, and I think you captured just what I remember from photos my folks brought back many years ago. I've never been there at just the right time to see fall at its best, so I'm always excited to see a good photo. The colors almost still seem impossibly saturated from a photographic point of view, but I know that fall colors do that even here in the Midwest - there's just such a range of tones it takes a bit of control as you did to keep them looking real in a photo. |

Wow! I really appreciate the work you put into this one. The title applies to you as well as the horse and rider. I'm especially impressed that you got the horse with all four feet off the ground. This seems to be a prized goal for photographers and you nailed it. I also really like the toning of the black horse, another challenging feat. |
