4	Jul 17	Reply	Now, I did !!	Jul 29th
4	Jul 17	Comment	Guy and Ian's adjustments and comments say pretty much all there is with the image. Indeed all the details in the foreground came out and the blue in the sky (blue hour) was augmented. The only suggestion perhaps is to crop a little from each side to remain with the framing trees and the city in the middle and add a vignette to keep your eyes centered on the cityscape.	Jul 21st
4	Jul 17	Reply	Good optical illusion. The palm tree fronds is in the ground.	Jul 19th
4	Jul 17	Reply	Richard, I was surprised myself as well when our private guide explained that to us. I also was under the impression it was for grinding grain. The schiphol airport in Amsterdam is all claimed land after pumping the water out.	Jul 14th
4	Jul 17	Comment	Guy, very relaxed landscape view. Sharp. I applied Erik's suggestions to add detail to the stone barn and wall, used a gradient filter adjustment to darken the sky and cropped the image to give emphasis to the stone barn.	Jul 10th
4	Jul 17	Comment	Bill, somehow the image is very small and impossible to view with detail.	Jul 10th
4	Jul 17	Reply	Erik, where is the image with the changes ??	Jul 9th
4	Jul 17	Reply	It makes me dizzy......	Jul 9th
4	Jul 17	Reply	Joe, now that you mention it, it does not look bad at all !!!	Jul 9th
4	Jul 17	Comment	Joe, you always have images of unusual things indeed. This is not exception. I see two complex iron parts which are identical and placed symmetrical in the frame and interconnected by red and blue pipes, in addition to the fine red and yellow twisted smaller tubes which takes my eyes back and forth and all around. Interesting conversation piece. It is sharp. BTW I had to look in the dictionary to learn what Calliope means.	Jul 5th
4	Jul 17	Comment	Ian, great action shot. You froze the action. It is sharp, the boat is well placed in the frame (good composition)and it has plenty of room to go to. Nothing to change.	Jul 5th
4	Jul 17	Comment	Erik, great image. Every time I go to the Alligator Farm I stop at this spot to create some shots of the albino gator, but I never had the luck to have him posing on top of a palm frond, but only on the naked cement. It pays off to be at the right place at the right time. Good vantage point and to obtain this view you have to be over the glass fenece with the camera above your head.... Nice S shape and sharp as well as well placed on the frame. Good luck on the contest.	Jul 3rd
4	Jul 17	Comment	Bill, all the experimentation and work paid off achieving the beam of light pointing precisely to the "incorporated" night flying birds. Also the rendition of the sky colors are very vivid. I personally do not like the painterly effect applied to the lighthouse. It is sharp, and the lighthouse is well placed on the frame. Wonder how it would look the same modifications but without the painterly effect. At first I thought that adding some light to the foreground would show more detail, but by the same token it would have been "unrealistic". Your collection of lighthouses keeps growing !!	Jul 3rd

58	Jul 17	Reply	Yes Dan, it is the right term: Tension	Jul 29th
58	Jul 17	Reply	Hi Ian, thanks for visiting	Jul 26th
58	Jul 17	Reply	Ed, I agree with you. In any "street Photography" image, the human or animal element should be present, but not always possible, unless you "stage" the image	Jul 24th
58	Jul 17	Reply	You are right, this is an artist interpretation.....	Jul 24th
58	Jul 17	Reply	I took many photographs of the bikers passing by, however, all but this woman turned their head away from the phone towards the wall. I guess this one did not notice.....	Jul 24th
58	Jul 17	Reply	Agree, B & W is the way to go.	Jul 14th
58	Jul 17	Comment	Liz, you can sometimes see this type of street images in the US specially when there is "Bulk Garbage" pick up, people will bring out all the useless items that will become treasurers for other people. Yes your image in well composed with the seats of center. I did straightened the image, cropped some from the bottom to eliminate a white line and some dead space, and a little from the top and left side of the frame. Decreased the whites, added some black and clarity, and now the contrast and detail is better.	Jul 13th
58	Jul 17	Reply	Dan, the whole image was rotated slightly to straighten.	Jul 13th
58	Jul 17	Comment	Dan, nice image. You captured the girl at the pick of the action showing the three bubbles. She looks deep in thought and enjoying it. The image is sharp. I added some light to the shadows, and a slight levels adjustment for more contrast, and I like it better flipped.	Jul 11th
58	Jul 17	Comment	Gloria, this is an interesting photo of the butcher with the machete in hand ready to cut the meat, but was distracted by your presence and turned to gaze you. The other men in the frame are minding their own business. Actually the man behind the meat scale is almost completely blocked, and therefore slightly distracting, and breaking the odd number, so; with a little photoshop magic, he is gone. I am curious to see the image in full color. Nice composition, and sharp in spite of the low shutter speed.	Jul 4th
58	Jul 17	Comment	Daniel, indeed the white pig is the center of attention. It is a little soft, but not distracting. Well placed in the frame. The human interaction adds to the story. I just added a dark and tight vignette to give the whole emphasis of the image to the pig.	Jul 3rd
58	Jul 17	Comment	Ed, indeed you captured him at the peak of his declamation with his mouth still open. The right arm up with the fingers spread out gives more emphasis to the image. The B & W interpretation also works. You framed the man between the two pillars, which I made straight. Also added a little more light to his face to see more details. The image is sharp and well composed.	Jul 3rd
