45 Sep 17 Reply Much better! The flower stands out more. If possible, try shooting from different angles like Vince suggested, too. Sep 11th
45 Sep 17 Comment You were able to keep the detail in the white petals by controlling the light. The background is very busy and, unfortunately, distracting.I would suggest a closer crop to eliminate some of it and then darkening like Vince suggested. Sep 7th
45 Sep 17 Comment Your composition, exposure and contrast are all great. The rule of thirds works well for this subject. The green center is sharp and is clearly your focal point. Nice job! Sep 7th
45 Sep 17 Comment I love your subject and the composition. I can see why you were drawn to this scene. The foreground details are wonderful, especially the pond. The background is unusual set against the more vivid foreground. I played around with it and backed off the contrast a bit and used Topaz Lens Effects - Fog to see if it would integrate the mountains into the scene. See what you think. Sep 3rd
45 Sep 17 Comment You did a good job stopping the action. Lighting can be tricky in these situations/settings, however, you did an excellent job controlling it. In baseball action shots, I think it is important to see the ball. I would keep the catcher in the picture and I think the color of his uniform adds to the photo, but I would crop or clone out the mask of the umpire. Sep 3rd
45 Sep 17 Comment A very beautiful image. The darkening of the background really helped the bird to "pop". I like that you have a catchlight in his eye. Excellent job and I wouldn't change a thing. Sep 3rd

50 Sep 17 Reply Thank you, David. You are right about increasing the brightness. When I printed this, it was too dark and I brightened it slightly. Sep 20th
50 Sep 17 Reply Thank you, Chuck. I may enter this in competition later this year. Sep 20th
50 Sep 17 Reply Well, David, she looks natural in the "new environment" and not pasted in. It's a much better fit than your original. My hat's off to you!
Sep 16th
50 Sep 17 Comment Your image tells a story and the main subject stands out from the background. There is no doubt what you want me to look at. I think it was important for you leave in the background/environment in this shot. Your DOF is great and your focal point is nicely placed without merging with any of the other headstones. I find the lap, top of the head and arms of the headstone to be blown out and without texture or tone. Sep 9th
50 Sep 17 Comment Another excellent skating shot from you. Your details, exposure and timing are right-on. You also caught a wonderful expression on the skater. While I do like the mono version very much, I have to say I like the color version slightly more. For me, it makes the skater stand out more. Sep 9th
50 Sep 17 Comment This image tells a story. Your focus is very sharp and the details make the shot. Unlike, Chuck, I am not sure I like the frame. For me, it is too busy, especially since your photo has so many elements. Sep 9th
50 Sep 17 Comment Wonderful details throughout. This is a terrific architectural shot in every way. Good tones and exposure. The spiral to the top leads my eye right up to the interesting circular window. If possible, I agree with David, cloning out the light to the lower left would remove a distraction. That's the only thing I would change. Excellent job. Did you really hand-hold your camera at this angle with f/16 aperture? Sep 9th
50 Sep 17 Comment I also like the monochrome the best. In the color version, I get too caught up in the background, whereas, in the mono version, I focus on the model first and then the background textures. I like your crop and find that the environment conveys an interesting story. Sep 9th
50 Sep 17 Comment A very interesting perspective that turns an ordinary shot into something that is very interesting. I agree with Chuck that the clouds really make it and I like the change he accomplished. Sep 9th

57 Sep 17 Reply Let us know how you do with this. I'm sure it is a winner. Sep 20th
57 Sep 17 Reply Increasing the brightness slightly helped. Sep 20th
57 Sep 17 Reply I took your suggestion and brightened it some and it did look better. Thanks. Sep 20th
57 Sep 17 Comment Nice capture of an interesting subject. I think you have a very strong composition/crop. My only suggestion is to find a way to reduce the noise, especially in the background. I don't know if it is because of over sharpening or the high ISO. Sep 12th
57 Sep 17 Comment Another awesome dragonfly shot. Great job with remarkable clarity especially for hand-holding your camera. The background is nicely blurred, making your subjects standout. The color of your background is gorgeous. Such detail on the wings! do you enter these in competitions? Excellent job! Sep 12th
57 Sep 17 Comment I like your subject, but so not feel that infared was the way to go because the background is so light and "spotty" that it competes with the subject. I don't know if you can significantly darken the background. Sep 12th
57 Sep 17 Reply Thank you, Mary. Sep 12th
57 Sep 17 Reply I set the ISO to 400 since I was not using a tripod and the light was getting a little low. For years I used automatic ISO and have recently stopped and feel it has made a big improvement in my photos. Sep 12th
57 Sep 17 Comment I think your treatment enhanced the flowers very nicely. I also like that the flowers are anchored by the mason jar. I would have liked to see the whole flowers, though, rather than having some of the tips cut off on both sides of the image. Sep 12th
