66 Jul 25 Reply Yes, it is much more to my liking, Steve. The sky is so dramatic, and, for me, it still feels like beautiful skies I've seen. It could be worked on a little more, I'd rather see more evenness across both the sky and the vignette. Jul 4th
66 Jul 25 Comment Welcome, Steve!
I'll be honest and say I'm a fan of Ansel Adams' skies, where the sky color gets close to true black. Softer can be fine, too, but (and Gary can help me here) I think the image suffers from a lack of contrast overall. Whether it just be some edge burning, or some darkening of elements like the fence or the house, I think a little more contrast would improve.		 Jul 2nd
66 Jul 25 Comment I had a similar reaction as to Melanie's image, Emil, in that the original has such beautiful light, that doesn't completely convey to the IR. The latter has more of a winter's day, feel, which still works. The curve in the road is a nice compositional element. Jul 2nd
66 Jul 25 Comment A spot I know well, Henry!
I find in this area, unless you're able to capture golden hour light, infrared is a better option, especially when you have nice clouds like you did this day. Good job on cloning out the parked cars.		 Jul 2nd
66 Jul 25 Comment As usual you've conveyed a nice sense of mood, Gary. This feels so old and melancholy. In addition to the sepia you have the late afternoon light, and the clouds; very nice. Jul 2nd
66 Jul 25 Comment She renders very well in infrared, Charles. The candid portrait is interesting, but I wonder, did you take posed portraits also? Jul 2nd
66 Jul 25 Comment Lovely, Arik, like so many of your recent images, this has a classic, New England feel. I love shooting scenes with bicycles, so this one is particularly endearing to me. It's a good example of the importance of true black and true white in an image. Jul 2nd
66 Jul 25 Comment What great fun, Melanie. I feel like I'm there.
Looking at the original, I love the light on the tufa (hanging rock). I might have tried lighting the tufa more, and the trees a tad less, on your IR version. It's still a great image.		 Jul 2nd

86 Jul 25 Comment It's hard to say what might have caused the softness in the final edit shown here, Wayne. I think one gets a better idea of what you were after in the thumbnail, and it does not nice complimentary colors and patterns, and the drops really make the image. Jul 10th
86 Jul 25 Comment The vertical pano idea works really well on a scene like this, Bill. Although there is some distortion as there always is in phone panos, it's very orderly and in keeping with the patterns we're accustomed to seeing on cathedral ceilings. It's fun, and interesting to ponder! It's amazing that you captured all the way to the back wall, and still got the pews on the floor too. Jul 7th
86 Jul 25 Comment Nice sunset light and clouds, Ruth. I like that you included a little bit of the land, but keeping the horizon level would improve - easily fixed by rotating just a tad when you edit and crop. Jul 7th
86 Jul 25 Comment It's beautiful, Kieu-Hanh, I love the symmetry and depth, and as a travel buff I'm envious, as I've never been to this part of the world. My one nitpick is that the lights on the left interrupt the symmetry, but that was unavoidable. Very nice. Jul 2nd
86 Jul 25 Comment A good one for the season, Steven, and one of those that before phone cameras we probably wouldn't have taken. Great mix of colors. The upper left corner is a little soft, which is probably due to not holding the phone exactly perpendicular to the salad? It's minor, and I enjoy the image regardless. Jul 2nd
