47 Jul 18 Comment First, to the group, apologies for the spelling incorrections in the description which got past me. I believe Albert was traveling and hence this might have been typed on a cell phone, etc. Several of the words I'm not sure about; maybe we can try again.

On the image, the streak of light is very nice, and I think this could come together, with a little effort in bringing the sky in. The rocks and the water make for a nice foreground. All in all, nicely composed.		 Jul 17th
47 Jul 18 Comment You've got some nice graphic elements in this, with that reflection; lots of nice lines and shapes. I like the way it's a non symmetrical reflection, more interesting.

High key can be interesting and I've wanted to try it, never really have. One reaction I have is that maybe you'd want to push it even more, make it more high key, as on first impression, without reading your info, I find it just a soft grainy image in need of contrast. Hopefully others will weigh in. Overall, however I find it an excellent composition.		 Jul 13th
47 Jul 18 Comment Very elegant, Don! I like images like this where the seeming randomness of the hanging moss actually mimics the bird in a subtle way. Great sharpness and pose of the bird. I'm not sure the moss at the left edge isn't a distraction for me. Also in my initial take, I felt I wanted more white. You've got some on the bird, but maybe the background itself could be lightened. Very nice overall. Jul 13th
47 Jul 18 Comment What a cute kid, and great pose! I think with kids, smooth, "baby's bottom" skin is expected and fine, and your treatment goes with that, and I think works fine, as does the white vignette. The curved something behind his hat on the right is a bit of a distraction and maybe could be cloned out. But it's the little detail of the hat squishing his ears, that just makes this for me. Welcome again to the group Sharon. Jul 13th
47 Jul 18 Comment The eye certainly goes right to that X. I didn't get that it was a store first (though should have from the title) but knowing that makes me appreciate it more. I'm feeling I might have wanted the perspective closer to straight on, perpendicular to the X; not sure. Or maybe we don't need as much ground in the foreground. I'm feeling I want to be brought in a bit closer to appreciate the grittiness, peeling paint, etc. That said, it's technically very well done, great contrast; thanks for sharing it with us. Jul 13th

66 Jul 18 Reply Thanks Antje, I appreciate you taking the time, sorry I could t see the result of your edit due to the small file size. I do agree with your point that the horizon seems lost, that it all blends together in my version. Jul 20th
66 Jul 18 Comment I'm fine with your processing on this, Palli. On the composition, at first I felt it was lacking an anchor point, like a little boat, or something on the deck, etc. But after pondering it, I find my eye is drawn to the line of posts, down to the birds, and that gets me into the scene. Very nice. Jul 13th
66 Jul 18 Comment I am a big fan of clouds, and minimalism, Gary, so no surprise that I love this. This also lends itself well to your high contrast style. It has great impact but makes its point quietly and subtly. I have no suggestions for improvement, well done! Jul 13th
66 Jul 18 Comment Wonderful scene, Melanie, and so well captured. You've made me want to visit there myself, haven't been there as an adult.
I find it dark, underexposed. Maybe that's what you were after, but I might try both bumping up the exposure and contrast a little bit. It does have a moody somber almost nocturnal feel to it as is, though. Thanks for sharing this very enjoyable scene.		 Jul 13th
66 Jul 18 Comment I agree it's a lovely statue, Antje, and creates a somber peaceful mood. The background does need some tweaking, as has been said. For me, I'd both try to tone it down, and perhaps blur it some more, rather than adding contrast, to kind of make it fade away. You might try going these different directions and see what works for you. Jul 13th
66 Jul 18 Comment As the others have mentioned, it is a very good composition; the Light House is perfectly placed, and everything else just falls into place around it. Except for the little bits of grass, this could be a conventional black and white image; that makes it a little unusual for me. The darkness of the rocks give it a heavy, moody feel.Thanks for sharing. Jul 13th
66 Jul 18 Reply Thank you, Gary!
I like your edit. In fact, I would probably settle on a blend of the two, but closer to yours. I will have to check out Detail Extractor.		 Jul 8th
