47 Dec 22 Reply Thank you Trung. I use tones a lot - most often Sepia. I like the older look to the photos as B&W is often very stark. I find the warmer tones more appealing. Dec 19th
47 Dec 22 Reply Thanks for your thoughts Albert. It was a balancing act to lighten the outside or not. I chose the vignette to focus the attention on the pool with the father and son.

Thanks again for your comments and suggestions - I will revisit the image as I do like it.

47 Dec 22 Reply Thank you Robert. The size is one of the limitations of this venue. We can only use small images. I will revisit this for a full size presentation. I used a D300 so I cannot go very big but could likely do 13x19 for a wall print.

Thanks again for your thoughts.

47 Dec 22 Reply Thank you for your input Kristi. You made some good points. I had accepted the white circles on the boys shirt as part of the scene but what you chose in removing them also works. The lighter shade for the water also works. Thank you again for your input and work. Dec 19th
47 Dec 22 Comment Hi Trung - this is the first of your work I have seen - and I like the image. The sense of movement of the horses down the trail and through the water. I do not have any suggestions about the composition. To me this is a great Photojournalism shot - one that might accompany a story about the wild horses in a given area of the west where they can still roam free.

My only 'negative' suggestion (nit picking) is that it appears you were strong on the clarity and perhaps texture sliders in LR trying to get the "razor sharp" focus. In this case, at least to my eye, it was not needed. There appears to me to be a harshness to the horses that would not be found in nature.

A wonderful action image - thank you for sharing it with us.

47 Dec 22 Comment Look at the image and title the thought, " a face only a mudder could love" came to mind. I am not sure what the expression on the larger of the two says, but I doubt I would want to ask (LOL).

I like your post processing work and the composition with what appears to be a mother and young Rhino. I do also like your use of DOF allowing me to focus more in the two Rhinos and less on the back ground vegetation,

All in all, a very nicely composed and processed image. Thanks for sharing it with us.

47 Dec 22 Comment HI Kristi,

I really like this image. You asked if the background appeared to be too busy. To me that answer is no. Your husband and the umbrella command the focal point of the image and the branches around him - as I see it - give me a sense of context of a wooded area and perhaps add a little menace to the image. It could be a number of situations good or bad - your rendition allows me to make up my own story of what I am seeing.

Treating this as a silhouette also worked well for my in this image. all in all a really nice image and effective post processing. Thanks very much for sharing it with us.

47 Dec 22 Comment I like this image Jeff, really like it. I love the stark simplicity of the image. I have no real suggestions for improvement. In fact, to my eye, given the right decorating scheme this would be a great image for a wall.

After looking at the original - I am impressed by what you achieved in removing unwanted portions in the original.

Great imagination, great work - thanks for sharing it with us Jeff.

47 Dec 22 Comment I like the study in contrast - dark sky and almost blinding white building. The lines and curves in the image are very geometric and stark in their simplicity - at least to my eye.

While I do see what Jeff mentioned (the reflection in the doors) I do not find it distracting though I agree that it might be interesting to see what the reflection is.

Were this my image I would have tried to clone out the trees at the top left of the Museum - in my view they act as a distraction from the over all composition. There are some on the right side also but less noticeable.

All in all, this is an intriguing study in shape and structure and I like it. Thanks for sharing it with us Robert.

47 Dec 22 Reply Thanks for the comments. A little further information - there is almost nothing but what we would call waste land - very dry desert - in this area. This is an Oasis type of spot and park in the middle of the desert not far from the Dead Sea, Israel. That may give you some of the context for the image. Dec 14th
