86 Dec 23 Reply Thanks for your comments, Kieu-Hanh. The leaves from that tree are small, as leaves go, but the flat round seeds are pretty close to the same size. I was trying for variety and shooting some to look more close-up emphasized that some leaves varied in color to keep it from looking all same-same-same in the final composition. Dec 25th
86 Dec 23 Comment I guess this is one of those architectural works that has a different look depending on one's vantage point. I was only familiar with Calatrava's work in Milwaukee, so this shot makes me want to see the one you shot in Spain from more angles.
It's interesting that you thought to shoot a panorama in vertical position. I've only done that a couple of times and hardly ever think of doing that. The way the architecture and shadows converge make it appear that the row of buildings is the main subject, because that's where my eye ends up.		 Dec 25th
86 Dec 23 Comment I'm glad you mentioned you did very little editing, because I was going back and forth trying to see any difference. ;-) The peacefulness of the scene with its undisturbed water is enhanced by the true sky blues in your shot. The interesting lean of the tree with its matching reflection just 'kissing' the cloud formation looks good to me with the rich dark silhouettes. Dec 25th
86 Dec 23 Comment Our Crape Myrtle just outside the kitchen window is more magenta and only flowers at the end of July, about the last one to bloom here. I like Kieu-Hanh's cropping sample. It brings more fullness to the tree, whereas your original was sort of open and airy/lace-y. Snapseed certainly DID make it "pop". It's a nice red for the holiday season as well as late fall. Merry Christmas, Ruth! Dec 25th
86 Dec 23 Comment Imagine the craftsmanship that went into creating this, even the parquet-like wood-tiled ceiling. While you are showing just enough to give a sense of awe and of what this is, I think you could "lose" the half round gold-colored medallion at the bottom that distracts. Or just to darken that area. Now, all you need is to come up with a name for your shot. Dec 25th
86 Dec 23 Comment So cool, literally! I agree that I'd like to see the rest of the rounded right edge, but I sure like that you thought to take this photo. The ice texture sort of reminds me of the stairsteps into a train coach, or on shiny steps of a firetruck or automotive garage stuff. But the round bubble-parts made my mind go "what IS this?" As others pointed out, the colored leaf brought me back to reality. That was a mind-stretcher, for sure.
Merry Christmas to you, too!		 Dec 25th
86 Dec 23 Comment Nice capture of this relic! There was an old gristmill outside of Chicago that we used to go visit and shoot. The one outside of Murfreesboro, (TN) that we visited a year ago didn't look as nice anymore, but we got to eat in the restaurant. Later, we heard that a tornado had completely taken the place out! I always enjoy your infrared renditions. You might not need as much dark water below nor foliage on the right, if you wanted to crop it closer and maintain the same proportions. Another idea to piggyback off of Kieu-Hanh's would be to take 2 consecutive shots in the fall, one in glorious color and the other with infrared and make a combination of a black and white building surrounded by colorful trees. Just for fun. Dec 25th
