66 Apr 26 Reply Thanks Emil, I like your version, and especially the sky, this is just what i was after. Apr 10th
66 Apr 26 Comment Very strong image, Steve! I echo Ariks comments.

Great clouds, yet I like the way the darker tones are in the animals, so that the sky adds to, but doesn't steal the scene.		 Apr 10th
66 Apr 26 Comment Empty benches elicit so many possibilities, and add in the nice light, and this is very nice Emil. Apr 10th
66 Apr 26 Comment Interesting, Henry. If you look at this with the sky cropped out, it's a totally different image, one more focused on the ball, and as the sky is bright, some would say it takes one out of the scene. As others have noted the stairs are key to this scene. Apr 10th
66 Apr 26 Comment Nice, Charles. I too am drawn to the sails, and the sparkles in the water. Reminiscent of Gary, perhaps, I'd like to see some more true black in the image, whether that's overall contrast, or even on the sails themselves, or perhaps a vignette, but it feels to be missing true black. Apr 10th
66 Apr 26 Comment Your processing is spot on as usual Arik.

I was thinking this was a snow image, which didn't quite add up with the "snow" on different sides of the tree trunks, then I noticed the other comments about lichen moss. Like many IR images, it evokes a feeling of a snowy scene.		 Apr 10th
66 Apr 26 Comment I agree with Charles' comments, Melanie, you have the elements here, well presented. To Emil's point you have the left and right borders showing some distortion due to perspective but it's not a big deal. Also, he's very close to appearing eyes closed, but no one was bothered by that, so I think you've got a successful portrait. Apr 10th
66 Apr 26 Reply Thanks yes I agree about the sky. I am going to try to brighten the clouds, yet keep or darken the sky, more contrast. Apr 2nd
66 Apr 26 Reply Thanks, I had a similar feeling about the sky as you and Henry. I'm thinking blacker yet the clouds whiter, will try. Apr 2nd

86 Apr 26 Comment Nice, kieu-hanh, as you mentioned, it is the cleanness, the lack of any green leaves or any other distractions, that make this work. The leaning branches left and right create a triangle, very nice, and help frame the scene. Apr 10th
86 Apr 26 Comment The sepia definitely works to bring the viewer into the old west idea, Bill. As do the lit tree branches on top. The sharpness, the text which is readable but doesn't say much and could still fit with the old scene, it all comes together beautifully. Apr 10th
86 Apr 26 Comment I recall you posting these in years past, Ruth, they're such a pretty color. Sue mentions landscape vs portrait, but with the trees I think this still works in portrait mode. I like that we can see a curve with more flowers in the background. Apr 10th
86 Apr 26 Comment Nice moment captured Sue, and although Steve did a great job on the edit, I would have just cropped down a little, the people up there don't contribute to the scene. It's a nice photo journalism shot. Apr 10th
86 Apr 26 Comment I used to take a lot of flower macros with my DSLR, and they're tough, because even if you use a tripod, any breeze will move the flower. But lots of fun, and this is a good one. I would never have guessed it was a hibiscus. It's sharp and detailed. Apr 3rd
86 Apr 26 Reply Good question, Sue. It can go either way at this point. Although, a lighter crop would actually be better, as we have kind of a wine glut right now. Apr 3rd
86 Apr 26 Reply Yes. My camera club used to have a weekly challenge. It got me out there shooting and I improved so much. People understood you didn't have to take a masterpiece every week. I joined DD as the closest thing to that. Thanks for looking and commenting. Apr 3rd
