Personally, I don't feel that the black and white works well for this particular scene. As Marti indicated, a carnival cries out for color. Also, I don't believe that there is enough contrast to make this stand out in B&W. The composition is fine, just give me color here. |

Thanks. I completely agree with the comment you and Jerry made about need a tad more room to the left. I'm trying to work on things like that. It's a learning curve to remember these types of details when shooting ranching and livestock operations. It's constant motion. Nothing is standing still long enough to give much thought to composing anything. I'm hoping to get to the point where I have an automatic composition checklist that keeps up with everything happening in front of me. That, plus trying to stay out of the way of the operation.

Wow! What incredible skills you demonstrated to put this image together. Definitely a masterwork in your set-up, lighting and processing. I can't think of any critique to offer other than my admiring the image and your ability to do something like this. |

I spent two weeks in downtown Austin last summer. Seems like the entire area looked like this! Construction everywhere. I do love your image. The geometric shapes are fabulous and the yellow bridge against the oranges, whites, greys and blues of the buildings behind it make for a wonderful balance of colors. Great job. |

Wow! This is great. Very creative and unique. Can't think of a thing to improve this one. Hope you get it framed! |

I just love these types of shots. This is absolutely perfect -- the nice abstract look of the branches, gorgeous red berries and all set against a perfectly processed backdrop. Looks like a painting. Definitely something I'd use on a Christmas card! |

An absolutely stunning image. Gorgeous soft green colors on rolling hills framed against a fabulous backdrop in the sky. One suggestion: Consider cropping a slice off the bottom so that you at least you remove that diagonal strip of yellow grass that extends from the "Shadows" in your title to the right edge. I noted that you removed some extraneous electrical and phone poles. I understand why you did this. However, I'm sometimes not as bothered by these as others. You can look at many of Ansel Adams most famous images and you can easily pick at these "extraneous" items in his photos. I'm not saying this is the case with your image, since we don't have the "before" image, but just remarking that it's not always terrible to leave them in. They're part of the landscape. |

Definitely like the red colors better with your adjustment. |

This provided a new look to the image. Very much softens it. Shows how processing can offer two entirely different and appealing looks. |

Nice job of framing the shot. The red and white swirls in the foreground pull us into the image and create a good focal point. Overall, however, the image looks rather flat, mostly due to the fact that there are no shadows to add depth to the landscape. Of course, if it's cloudy, as you stated, this couldn't be avoided. Guess that's why photographers keep going back to the same location to catch that perfect light! Also, in my opinion, the reds are a shade too mauve from what I remember about the area. This is a matter of slightly adjusting the tint. You did a good job here and continue to demonstrate a great eye for photography. |

Yes, the trick of shooting at Bryce Canyon is to get set up at dawn since the formations on are the east side and catch the first light, hope for some sunshine and prepare to freeze to death if it's winter! |

Since you couldn't work around the trees, personally I believe your new cropping helped frame the cove much better. |

A masterful job of blending three rather bland images and making something spectacular. Excellent job of using the two trees to frame the distant mountain range and adjusting the colors and white balance to reduce the blue tones and warming things up with the nice golden tone. The only adjustment I could suggest is to slightly reduce the bright shoreline. To me it looks artificially bright, like here was a light placed there. Great image, however. |

A very pretty picture. The curve of the river and the curve of the tracks certainly pulled my eyes in. I also agree that you had some great fall colors to enhance everything. the only thing that would have made this even better would be for the train to come circling down the tracks. Overall, I think this would make a perfect shot for a calendar. |

The black and white works really well here. Glad you opted to try it if there wasn't much color. Love the reflection of the trees in the water, especially how the reflection of the trunks circle up to the trees themselves and provides a nice framework for the overall image. I keep looking at that little white object on the right shore. It almost takes away from the serene scene. Maybe remove it in your processing. |

I think this is a beautiful picture. I love how the cove almost circles to the lovely horizon and how the trees provide a wonderful frame. Perfectly exposed. The colors are very nice. I do find the that the tree limbs protruding from the bottom left distract from the cover. I think you could crop them out and still have an ample amount of the cove, perhaps drawing even more attention to it. I'd also crop the water from the bottom right. That seems to be another little distraction that pulled my attention away from an otherwise perfect shot. |
