What a great idea and presentation. I think I'm seeing things…… it would be interesting to poll the group as to what they see in each of the pics. Never leave that phone at home, you might miss something 😊|

I did document the remodel but not sure you would want to see what they found under the cast iron bathtub 😖 |

I really like your composition and the soft flowers in the background. The petals over the heart of the sunflower are sharp and seem to be protecting the seed head. The soft bluish curtains in the background and the bit of blue at the bottom left add balance and compliment the yellow petals. You are a great flower photographer. Nicely done. |

Great experiment. I must admit I seldom experiment with my phone camera. It would be a good exercise to go out shooting for the day and only use your phone. I have done that with my infrared camera. I like that you got down low and close to the flowers to make them look larger and put them against the sky. For me the color seems odd, maybe a result of the preset you used. Looking forward to your next experiment. |

Nice close shot of the GBH. You did have some challenges with the background and foreground. Sometimes trying to take things out turns out worse than leaving them in. I think I would take out the bare branch on the right and the ones sticking out of the water but maybe leave the vegetation on the left. I'm not sure why but even in the original image it looks like the ripples in the water are also in the herons bill. It will be interesting to see what Jerry comes up with. |

I love infrared and have a mirrorless camera convert, however I didn't know you could use an infrared filter on the iPhone. Can you describe how the filter fits on the iPhone or show us a picture of it? I think what seems surreal to people is the trees turn white if they contain chlorophyll. Thanks for giving the details of your settings. This is a beautiful image. No one would know it was taken with a phone camera. |

This looks like a beautiful place to explore. I would love to see it in the fall. I somewhat agree with the others regarding the saturation of the green and the brightness of the road. If I did anything I would darken the road a little bit. The green trees are reminiscent of Washington, The Evergreen State. |

I would like to go back here when I have more time and can work the compositions more. This was my first time to these falls but will certainly return on my next trip to MI. I hope you share an image from your trip. |

I love this image Mike. The heron is sharp and it looks like it is about to do something, maybe take off. I like to try artsy things in some of my images and again some people like it and some don't. I like both images. I also think the texture you used works well with the heron as it could be the wooded shoreline of a pond or lake. I think I like the leaves at the bottom removed as they are kind of ratty. Or crop up to remove the bottom leaf and then clone out or use content aware or some other tool to clean up the brown edge of the remaining leaf. I would be proud to hang this image on my wall. |

Another beautiful creation Judith. I like it just the way it is. The lower leaves fading into the background work for me and the faint hint of a leaf on the upper right behind the bud is a nice balance to the stronger brown leaf. I am amazed at how well you were able to darken that bright busy background and turn it into a pleasing background that sets off the bud. Well done. |

You are taking us on a beautiful safari through your images. I love this just the way it is. The panorama really shows the terrain of the Mara and I like the tree to the left of the scene. I think you have to be careful with sunrise and sunset images with lots of red and orange to not oversaturate the colors and make them look garish. A wall hanger for sure. |

I think you did a great job on your first foray into night photography. I think you did nicely in the post processing. For me having a light foreground in a night shot is not realistic. After all it is night time and the foreground is naturally dark with the outline of the trees against the sky. It looks like it was not totally dark when the image was captured so you still had some civil twilight adding some light to the trees and some of the foreground. It really is a matter of taste as you can see by others comments. There is also ambient light from nearby cities along the horizon and I feel that is ok as we just have to work with the location we are shooting from. |

What a beautiful image and interaction between parent and offspring. My only suggestion has already been mentioned and that was to pull the crop back a bit on the right. You have captured all the elements of a great image. Well done. |

My initial reaction on seeing this image was "I don't want to look at it." I love wildlife and certainly understand the perils wildlife encounter when they come close to civilization. For me there are just some images I don't need to see which also includes an animal being killed by another animal even though I know it is survival of the fittest. Possibly you had a reason to document this. |

Thanks Mike. Taking the yellow out of the water changes the natural coloring of the water in this water fall. You see the same coloring in the water in the well known Tahquamenon Falls. I like how you treated the background as the dead tree is less noticeable. |

Thank you for your comments. The yellow in the water is natural to the water in the Upper Peninsula of MI. If you see pictures of Tahquamenon Falls, another waterfall in the Upper Peninsula you will see the same coloring in the water. |
