65 Oct 23 Reply I like it without the bud Oct 28th
65 Oct 23 Reply Jodi, Sorry for not replying before. I've been out of the country. I'm happy to share how I make the textures I use. It would be easier to tell you over the phone and guide you through it. It's a lot to write. How about you contact me by email and we can work out a good time to connect.

65 Oct 23 Comment Hi Rebecca, water lilies are always so inviting to photograph, but often difficult. I find that best results are taken in shade as the water reflections brighten everything. I would crop it even more and concentrate on sharpening the center which would enhance the lovely colors. Oct 17th

65 Oct 23 Comment Hi Maria, I have an affinity for proteas as they are the National flower of South Africa, where I was born. I have seldom seen one this pink. You have managed to make this very prickly flower look soft and gentle with your depth of field I would crop it on the bottom to near where the red stem begins. Thanks for sharing. Oct 17th
65 Oct 23 Comment The phlox is lovely Jodi. But there is too much that is extraneous here. I think that Dick's crop is too tight I would crop to below the leaf on the bottom and just below the out of focus bud on the top. I really like the colors and don't mind that some of the buds are out of focus. Oct 17th

65 Oct 23 Comment Hi Diana, a simple, but attractive placing of the cosmos. It does appear rather flat and I wonder if reducing the tone of the background would allow it to stand out. Oct 17th

65 Oct 23 Comment Well done Fran. There has been a lot of work that has gone into creating this image and it is more than worth it. Composition and colors are lovely. Background is entirely complementary. I agree that without the bud, it is a stronger image. Oct 17th
65 Oct 23 Comment Beautifully seen Dick. Not only are the colors gorgeous, but the angle used has created a 3 d look with a graphic design. Simple and works well Oct 17th
65 Oct 23 Comment Thank you Maria. I certainly will do some more work on this. Also, thanks for giving me the name. Oct 17th
65 Oct 23 Reply Thanks for identifying Dick, and for the helpful comment Oct 17th
65 Oct 23 Reply Thanks Fran. I must admit that I am in two minds about the crop. Oct 17th

66 Oct 23 Reply Thanks Chuck, I have become a disciple of Arik's street work and am trying to use IR more there. Oct 4th
66 Oct 23 Reply Thanks Arik, Of our entire group, you understand Street photography best. See my reply to Gary and I wonder if you have an answer. Oct 4th
66 Oct 23 Reply Thanks Palli, I love this too. Oct 4th
66 Oct 23 Reply Thanks Jack, I will work on the tones. See my reply to Gary re the lack of a waxy look. Oct 4th
66 Oct 23 Reply It's interesting. I did this entire shoot in IR and most of my shots include people. There is no porcelain look in any of them. I wonder if dark skin tones do not react in the same way. Or if that day was magical! Oct 4th
66 Oct 23 Comment Hi Henry, I am really enjoying the great lead i lines. You have told the story in a beautiful way. Processing is wonderful. Oct 4th
66 Oct 23 Comment Hi Emil, Another great perspective of a barn. I think the sky is great except near the base, where the tones are similar to the barn. I might lighten that area. Great shot! Oct 4th
66 Oct 23 Comment Hi Palli, You have such a good seeing eye. Most would have just walked psst this scene. Of course your processing takes it out of the ordinary and up to extraordinary. Oct 4th
66 Oct 23 Comment Fun result from a fairly simple image. I love the neon result and the blue give a finish.Continue to play. You always give us something to think about. Oct 4th
66 Oct 23 Comment Different and interesting view of the barn. All well handled. Beautiful. Oct 4th
66 Oct 23 Comment I also am enjoying as is, besides the trees which you removed in your updated version. I think that the biker riding in the opposite direction finishes the story. Oct 4th
66 Oct 23 Comment Hi Arik. Apologies, I just noticed that none of your details were uploaded.Fixed.
This is fascinating. I really like the color profile, and the use of the arch makes the picture.
I'm undecided by the perspective. Your view was to make the arch straight, and I wonder how you feel about having the building straight Here is my view.
