66 Oct 24 Comment Your image brings back fond memories for me, Henry. But I have never visited outside of the popular June-July period, so here, the soil and the stubble add some interesting texture, as you mention. The tree grouping is just what the image needs, to provide even a nominal subject for that interesting background; I like how there are three, and in different stages of "disrepair" as it were. Oct 2nd
66 Oct 24 Comment As Gary alludes to, Emil, the interest here is the waterfall, which you've rendered so well. So I think Gary's crop, and treatment, makes this even better. I really like the texture in the waterfall. Oct 2nd
66 Oct 24 Comment The barren tree has a certain melancholy to it, Palli, kind of fitting for your farewell image. I like it, and am fine with the branches not all fitting.

I have enjoyed your always interesting and often graphical images each month Palli. But even moreso, your insightful comments and edits, which deserve "highest marks!" Congrats on your longevity in PSA. Even though you won't be posting, it is still possible of course for any member to comment on a groups images, and I hope you will weigh in with comments once in a while for us. Best wishes.		 Oct 2nd
66 Oct 24 Comment Your images often have a certain tension, Gary, and this one is no exception. My eye goes right to, and can't get away from, the "headless" veteran. I don't know what's going on up there with a turban or some kind of sash across the back of his neck, but its driving me nuts, more in the sense of adding tension to the image; it still works for me.

Also, as Henry points out, the transition is perhaps too obvious, but here again, did you intend it this way? I think if your intention was more to "fool the viewer", you would have polished that up a bit. Thought provoking as always!		 Oct 2nd
66 Oct 24 Comment Such a fun image, Charles. What makes it more than just ukuleles on a wall, are, those great shadows, which form interesting shapes on their own; it's rich with lines and patterns. Oct 2nd
66 Oct 24 Comment This reminds me of something I might have taken. It's very peaceful and serene. But my immediate reaction was it needed more "punch", mostly in the way or whiter whites, and a little more contrast overall. Even if you prefer to keep it soft, mildly lighter as Gary says would improve. Oct 2nd
66 Oct 24 Comment As Henry alludes to, these are fun to contemplate, but hard to execute! Yours is wonderful. So well ordered and composed, and like the blue also. Oct 2nd

86 Oct 24 Comment I've been to Haneda many times, but never outside the airport. I like the wedge the grasses form here, and the gold light. I agree with the others about the people; I thought they were birds too! Nice image. Oct 14th
86 Oct 24 Reply Thanks, Steve. Stephen ( below) also picked up on what you're seeing. I used to bring my slr camera with me and tuck it somewhere on the tractor, but I have to admit I'm more of a casual photographer these days. I appreciate that you help raise some of the limitations of phone cameras in photojournalism. Oct 14th
86 Oct 24 Reply Thanks for weighing in, Stephen. In a group that we often focus on the benefits of using a phone camera, this image and your comments raise some of the drawbacks and limitations. I appreciate the different options you present for capturing scenes like this. Oct 14th
86 Oct 24 Comment Great shot, Kieu-Hanh, but I think the proximity of the pumpkin to the dogs head might be a problem for some. Also I find the legible text on something there on the bottom to be a bit of a distraction. That said, I think it still works on a journalistic level, your subject the dog is quite compelling! Oct 1st
86 Oct 24 Comment It's beautiful, Ruth. One suggestion would be to crop in a little closer from the bottom so that we don't see the fabric underneath. But I really like the sharp colors and the placement of the butterfly. Oct 1st
86 Oct 24 Comment You've got a beautiful sky, Sue, and the trees that line the fairway make for a natural leading line. I know how it feels, being so close to natural disasters, here with fires in California.

The far right has a light shade, I guess with some work you could remedy that. Easier would be to punch up the sky a bit, with added contrast or using the blue color channel to increase saturation and decrease exposure a tad.		 Oct 1st
86 Oct 24 Comment I think the way you've presented this Steve is excellent, especially given the rough edges of the flower. I like the flower isolated with the black background, and have no suggestions for improvement. Its amazing what iPhone /phone cameras can do these days. Oct 1st
