22 Jul 21 Comment Very pretty image. I agree with Joe that it would help to brighten it slightly. I also suggest working with the clouds to boost the whites so that they pop in the blue sky. Jul 13th
22 Jul 21 Comment I agree with Al and Jerry -- you nailed this one. Jul 13th
22 Jul 21 Comment What a fun image! Your cropping brought the focus of attention on the boy and the fountain. And his red pants made the scene really pop. I think your processing brought out the color and contrast as well. Nice work! Jul 5th
22 Jul 21 Comment I admire all the work you did to process this image. I agree with Jerry about the frozen propellers -- wish there was at least a slight blur to denote motion and action. Otherwise, it looks like a model airplane, rather than an authentic B-17. The background you chose also troubles me. It doesn't seem to fit the motif you are creating to depict a famous WWII bomber. Maybe a background with blue skies and clouds might have been a better choice to showcase this plane. Jul 1st

71 Jul 21 Reply Great improvements! Jul 7th
71 Jul 21 Comment Great composition! I especially like how you managed to keep everything in focus. It's not a big deal, but you might try slightly darkening that patch of sunshine on the grassy meadow in the center right of the image. It seems to throw off the balance of the image with the darker shadows on the left side. Also, a bright spot like this along the edge tends to pull the eye off the shot. Jul 6th
71 Jul 21 Comment What an impressive effort! The way you fit the Milky Way into this image was perfect. I also like how you composed this -- the lines of the road and wall seem to converge with the lines of the Milky Way. Jul 6th
71 Jul 21 Comment I'm definitely not an expert on how to show an eclipse. However, two suggestions to help you improve: One, crop in closer. I think the pier takes up too much space. You can also trim off some from the beach. By cropping, the viewer can see details of the eclipse much better. Second, remove the streak of jet trail in the upper right corner. This detracts from the image and pulls the eye off the page. Great effort to capture this! I'm sure someone like Theresa can provide more helpful hints on actually capturing the eclipse. Jul 6th
71 Jul 21 Comment This is a perfect image to depict your theme of solitude. I like the subject matter and the fact that you have a focal point in the image -- the person sitting alone on the beach with an empty ocean and barren landscape tell the story. I wonder if you could crop closer to the figure by removing a bit more of the sky. The beach, person and water are what drive the image. Cropping down to the person a little more might have help bring him/her up from a mere dot on the scene. Jul 1st
