4	Oct 19	Reply	Erik, I just did. Took the image to ACR and decreased the saturation of the green 25 % and the yellow 15%. What do you think now ??	Oct 20th
4	Oct 19	Comment	Guy, I bring a different option. Playing with the Transform>Warp tool I made the blue segment into a discrete arch and I think it looks more symmetrical and still abstract without loosing any of its beauty	Oct 17th
4	Oct 19	Comment	Bill, another masterpiece landscape. Everything fits perfect in the rule of thirds. Cropping some of the sky will transform the image into a semi-panorama. We have 1/3 foreground and 2/3 sky with main subject. The original image also has a touch of yellow sky which was intensified by Guy's adjustments. I would keep it as is.	Oct 11th
4	Oct 19	Reply	Guy, interesting option indeed	Oct 11th
4	Oct 19	Comment	Ian, beautiful landscape and your 10 seconds exposure, softened the clouds giving a sense of fog on top of the mountains. The two houses are well placed in the frame, and the one on the left of the frame has a distinctive leading line created by the fence. The green of the vegetation is well handled. Sharp. Better luck with the weather next time.	Oct 8th
4	Oct 19	Comment	Erik, great composition and the butterfly and green are tack sharp. I like the way the background was treated being of uniform color and very soft and therefore, not distracting at all. The colors in the butterfly are outstanding. I like the square crop very much. Reminds me of the Hasselblad film camera times. I am curious about your Exif data.	Oct 8th
4	Oct 19	Comment	Thomas, you captured the image at the peak of the action when the pelican had just caught the fish and has not swallowed it yet and with the wings still up after the movement. You can also tell the frustration in the face of the cormorant, that he did not catch the fish. It is very sharp, and the white is not overexposed being able to see detail throughout the feathers. The background is dark and not distracting at all. I am curious was was the ISO, Shutter speed and f/stop.	Oct 8th
4	Oct 19	Reply	Thomas you can also use the word exclude from the effect	Oct 8th
4	Oct 19	Comment	Joe, I am lost here. Your vantage point is low enough to be able to see some background, but we see only water. The painterly treatment to the water is not my favorite. I also note that the space between the main mast and the other poles looks kind of a smudge. The colors are nice and bright, and the image is sharp.	Oct 8th
4	Oct 19	Comment	Guy, this image is a symphony of colors and shapes, and is abstract as well. The presence of the light pole adds curiosity to it, and the shadow gives tridimensional character. You really did a great job in the composition (walking the image). The wire works as a potent leading line towards the red structure. The treatment of the colors is also very good.	Oct 6th

5	Oct 19	Comment	Richard, I agree with Stephen's crop. The stones of different color and slightly distorted at the edge for the wide angle 18 are actually slightly distracting. This crop emphasizes the main building and entrance. I am surprised that we see no people in the frame. I was there last year, and half a million more people at the same time.	Oct 11th

58	Oct 19	Reply	Dan, I agree with you on the crop at the top	Oct 28th
58	Oct 19	Reply	"Sometimes an intentional crop leaves the viewer to "fill in" the rest of the story." Gloria, this is an interesting point of view indeed.	Oct 23rd
58	Oct 19	Comment	Dan, indeed the man is very close to the seals. He probably enjoys the very strong Ammonium smell from the seals urine. The image is sharp. The colors are well balanced. My only observation is that he is touching the edge of the frame which creates some tension. I added some light to the shadows, and now we can see more detail of the seals and rocks. The horizon line is well placed in the upper 1/3rd.	Oct 13th
58	Oct 19	Comment	Jim, interesting image of the reenactment, full of action given by the smoke from the firing canons. I believe that the officer looking away from us (given by his sword) is controlling the activities. I find the crop to be very tight and of unconventional ratio. I used photoshop actions: expand canvas and free transform to add real state to the frame, and then cropped to a more conventional ratio, and added some light to the shadows to see more detail.	Oct 12th
58	Oct 19	Comment	Hassan, nice image with action captured with the ball in the air. Your vantage point also allows to get a different perspective of the environment. We have two anchoring points, the girl and the doll, with added interest in the image given by the shadows. Lots of vertical lines contrasting with the handrails of the stairs. I did take the image into ACR and straightened the verticals, and cropped slightly to remove the bright area which is distracting.	Oct 11th
58	Oct 19	Comment	Daniel, interesting image created from a difficult vantage point, since we get keystoning (distortion) of the image for pointing the camera up. The image is balanced for the presence of the three windows, being the central one harboring the baby image lying in a hammock and the other two showing different contents. The three windows are framed by the decorative elements in the wall. I used a combination of Adobe Camera Raw and Photoshop (Warp) to straighten the windows and eliminate the keystoning effect. It is sharp.	Oct 8th
58	Oct 19	Comment	Gloria, interesting vantage point. The scaffold and the flag are framing the woman taking the picture with the iPhone and the flag position denotes wind. The image is sharp and there is detail in the pavers of the street. The man is lining against a metallic structure, but I am not sure he is the subject the woman is photographing. The colors are intense.	Oct 8th

72	Oct 19	Comment	Marie, I like this image very much. You captured the big horn eating, with the added feature that is looking at you. I do not mind the presence of branches and vegetation at its feet, which you can not see anyway from your vantage point, so I modified your crop to one which is more generous on the environment and frames the sheep. The colors are nice, and it is sharp. I placed the head in one of the thirds. Also added some light to the shadows, and now we can see more detail in the fur.	Oct 20th
72	Oct 19	Reply	Adrian, this is what I was able to accomplish with the graduated filter in ACR	Oct 18th
72	Oct 19	Comment	Abhijeet, great image and well PP treatment. I like the B&W interpretation. The crop maybe a little too tight in the lower border, but you were able to isolate the young elephant and make it prevail. The image is sharp. It is always good to be in the right place at the right time.	Oct 9th
72	Oct 19	Comment	Mary, your PP and crop really improved the sharpness and colors of the image. I like the way it is framed by the tree branches and trunk. Good soft background. The colors are well managed. The bird has a nice catch light. Not always we can have the ideal image of the subject facing us.	Oct 9th
72	Oct 19	Comment	Walt, what a magnificent and impressive monolith (it looks like solid rock). I do not mind that you kept it in the middle of the frame. It resembles a bell curve. The colors, specially after your PP are well managed. It is sharp. It must be of impressive size when you use the trees as reference. Nice sky.	Oct 9th
72	Oct 19	Comment	Adrian, this month we are on an elephant state of mind. Your image is really full of action, and the changes done by Larry improved the image, making the elephant more visible inside the dust storm. You did a good crop, selecting the most active portion of the frame. It is sharp, and the colors are well handled. Of course, this amount of dust is not good for our cameras.	Oct 9th
