51 Aug 22 Comment I think I need to look down more and let my imagination go crazy. You are an inspiration by showing us how a common mundane subject can be turned into an interesting abstract. Keep them coming. Aug 5th
51 Aug 22 Comment I really like this Lynne. A real sense of abandonment in the building and I like how the lighthouse is reflected differently in the two windows. Your extra effort paid off, well done. Aug 5th
51 Aug 22 Comment Very interesting. It reminded me of the first color prints that I think came out in the 50's. What a good imagination to turn the processing backward so to speak. It's amazing where we can go in post processing. Only limited by our imagination and creativity. Aug 5th
51 Aug 22 Comment I think I'm a little confused. The flower in the original is not the same flower as in the edited version? Same type of flower but not the same flower ðŸ”. Well, I do like the red on blue as it makes the flower stand out. I don't know what this flower looks like in the wild but it looks nice here. Aug 5th
51 Aug 22 Comment What a beautiful garden to explore and photograph. I'm glad I don't have to maintain it. I don't know what the wooden structure is at the bottom left but it seems out of place or doesn't connect with the scene so I think I would crop it out. Lots of color going on but for me it's a little over saturated. I think you could find lots of images within the panorama. Aug 5th
51 Aug 22 Comment I really like the B/W and how your crop puts the focus on the tangle of roots. The original leaves me looking for a focus point. Looks like a fun place to explore. Aug 5th
51 Aug 22 Reply Thanks Jerry. Yes we set a record of six consecutive days of over 90 degrees. With no air conditioning it was not fun. We got a welcome relief of cooler weather on Monday. Aug 2nd

52 Aug 22 Comment Thank you all for your nice comments and suggestions. After my struggles that day with sun and wind I was very happy how it came out. Aug 19th
52 Aug 22 Comment I like the sky in your original image better as the clouds seem more dramatic and I like the light blue showing through. For me the yellow is over saturated in the edited image. You did get a bit of sun flare. I think it is a nice snapshot but not a dynamic image. I think it needs a focal point other than the rising sun, such as a lighthouse or some other foreground subject. I like the structure on the beach and wondering if you had taken the image from the beach with the structure in the foreground if it would have been a totally different image. Aug 10th
52 Aug 22 Comment When I first viewed this image I thought it was a flower frozen in ice. You did amazingly well handholding at 1/20th of a sec. With the "flotsam" plastered against the wet window it made for a softer more abstract image. I like that you rotated the image and agree somewhat with Lisa that a little stem showing would have helped anchor the "flotsam." I don't think I would change anything. The darker background helps separate and set off the lighter yellows. Aug 10th
52 Aug 22 Comment The eyes say it all in this image. He has got you pegged. Nice catch light in the eyes and beautiful detail in the feathers. Well done. Aug 10th
52 Aug 22 Comment You have photographed some beautiful subjects on your adventures in Africa. These wild flowers are amazing. I think what bothers me in this image is that so much is out of focus that the in focus flower gets lost. I tried a tighter crop on the image to put more of the focus on the middle flower. The tighter crop also reduces the amount of background. See what you think. Focus stacking would have put more in focus but I'm sure that wasn't possible on a hike, or using a narrower depth of field such as f/8 or f/11. Aug 10th
52 Aug 22 Comment Turkeys are so ugly they are cute. I think you did a fine job getting the image from a distance and hand held. I was bothered by the water even though you have his head reflected. For me there are too many distractions in the water and the water is murky so the reflection doesn't standout. I agree with Mike in a tighter crop but I also agree with you in that I would like to see the tail. You have plenty of room in your original image to do a horizontal crop leaving more room in front of the turkey so he has room to move. I would also consider adding some more contrast to the turkey so the feathers standout more and are more dynamic. I see what Mike says about the purple cast especially on the neck and head. Turkeys do have an iridescence in the feathers. Aug 10th
52 Aug 22 Comment You do such beautiful images of butterflies. It seems we tend to like seeing the face/eyes of animals/insects but I think this really works because like you said you can see both the upper and lower sides of the wings. I think your post processing is well done and both of the butterflies are very sharp. Out of curiosity, what is the object that seems to come out of the mouth of the left butterfly? Is it the tongue? If so it is amazingly long. I wouldn't change anything. Aug 10th
