24 May 21 Comment OMG. This is gorgeous. A beautiful illustration of the power of a well executed near-far composition. Try a small crop of the top to give the mountain a bit more dominance. That may imprdove the overall composition. This is a picture that calls fdor a large print \. May 16th
24 May 21 Comment I think this is an excellent still life. I would experimment with a subtle increase in contrast.I don't see a halo on my screen. May 16th
24 May 21 Comment If you havd a version with the foreround birds sharp, that cures the the problems I see. May 16th
24 May 21 Comment Hi Thorro,

I suggest you try desaturating the water. and cropping some space on the left side to get the boat out of dead center, and perhaps shaving the bottom. The background seems ok to me. You might try darkening it a bit to make ti recede and give a little more 3d to the picture.		 May 16th
24 May 21 Comment This is a fantastically good photograph. I don't think the adjustment made on on the water improves the picture. I feel that by making the water more colorful, is a distraction.
Sorry I did not get a picture in. between a bunch of distractions including a small surgical procedure, I just could not sit down and edit a photo. See you next month.		 May 16th

47 May 21 Comment I agree with your questining about cropping. Kirsti's crop is slightly more than IO would suggest, because it maes the leading line of the road start in the corner, which often weakens it. A little more contrast and you have something worth hanging on the wall May 11th
47 May 21 Comment I love this. I would suggest a bit more contrast. The texture of the water is very interesting, a little more contrast would bring it out a little more. I am not a great fan of sepia toning. that said I think if it were a bit less yellow, it would be more appealing. May 11th
47 May 21 Comment Beautifully done, with a great reditions of tones. The man expression is just great. May 11th
47 May 21 Comment Nicely done. I did notice in the original that there is a suggestion of detail in the background. I think if you could bring that out it would make a more pleasing composition rater than just the big black area. Also the ice on the right of the original helps the picture. Try desaturating the blue a bit, see if you like a little more subtle color. It is a beautiful photo May 11th
47 May 21 Comment There is such loving tenderness in the light touch of the man's hand. You caught a "decisive moment." I have nothing else to add to Kirsti's comments. May 11th
47 May 21 Comment You had a great concept, but I think your composition worked against you. What I think you needed was what Ansel Adams called "a near-far" composition. Distant parts of a subject must be in focus and the nearest part also must be in focus. The most distant parts could fade in the distance but I think you need to have most of the lineup in focus. It looks like the expression of each figure is different. That most interestingpat is lost. The illusion of distance can be enhanced if the mode distant parts of the scene are little darker than the near. For my taste the first figure iss too colse May 11th
