47 May 17 Reply Good points, John. You're right about the DOF, I hadn't thought about that. I think if the tree were closer you would see some detail in the trunk, etc, maybe not quite the same amount in a regular image. May 17th
47 May 17 Comment I agree with Don's point of view. The left side has the peeling paint facade of an old shed, perfect for this scene, and a great compliment to the windmill, which to me is the subject. As it is, the image lacks a little "punch" contrast wise, and the white garage on the right tends to take over, and it's the least interesting element in this scene.

With a little more contrast added to the sky (brightening the light area and darkening the top and sides), the dramatic element of the stormy sky comes into play, and if cropped to the left side, the image really begins to come together, for me.		 May 13th
47 May 17 Comment You sure do some great wildlife shots in black and white, Don. The pure white of the egret gives it a certain elegance, complimented by its pose. Around here, these are frequent subjects, but I've never seen one quite like this before. May 13th
47 May 17 Comment Certainly an interesting scene, with lots of detail and sharpness throughout.

One comment on the processing, which has an HDR feel, is that with this much definition throughout, and of similar tones, one gets lost, you've ceded control in taking the viewer through the scene, which is often done through light or focus. I think some selective lighting on the boat might help me focus attention there. But as it is, I'm more fixated on the background buildings, which are quite interesting, especially the way they start to lean to the right.		 May 13th
47 May 17 Comment Thanks Darrell I had my camera converted, so there was little post processing needed, lots of fun indeed. May 8th
47 May 17 Comment Ed, this is a nice moment, and I do feel it is about your grandson's expression. I think you could crop in closer, and bring this out even more. Of course it's not always necessary to include 100% of every person in a scene.... you could crop a bit on all four sides I think, experimenting on what works / doesn't work, especially in regard to your son in law. In addition, you could brighten up the boy a bit more, it still feels too dark overall to me. The dark background works well for me, and I like the feel of the setting, sitting in an old doorway.

47 May 17 Comment I am a fellow tree admirer John and I like the way you've handled this scene, separating the subject tree trunk from the background of trees, and the depiction of the centered trunk and the roots going off to each side. I also like the way you've slightly warmed it (sepia). The sunlight near the top and left appears to have "blown out" the whites, which is too bad. You could crop down about 1/4 from the top and just a bit off the left and you would remove the hot spots, and still have a scene which conveys your message effectively. May 6th
