83 Sep 25 Comment Very nice image. The details are excellent and the sweeping curves of the terraces provides a great overall composition. I also agree with the others regarding a tighter crop of the overall image. Thanks for sharing. Sep 27th
83 Sep 25 Comment Very nice image. Excellent use of light and shadow. I also agree with Michael regarding the eyes. A very minor issue, there appears to be something in the background protruding above the girl's right shoulder. This is very minor and hard to detect. However you may want to consider removing this. Thanks for sharing this image...your portraits are excellent! Sep 27th
83 Sep 25 Comment Very interesting image! I like how the pond rocks and the pond grassy spot form a diagonal through the image and guides my focus. I really like the sepia concept here and this is very well done. My only thought would be to lessen the highlights on the rocks and grassy portions, especially as this is a sepia photo. Nicely done, thanks for sharing. Sep 27th
83 Sep 25 Comment Excellent image. Very good tonal contrast with the field, tree, and mountains in the background. I also agree with the others regarding the clouds/sky. As far as the vertical or horizontal layout as you noted, I like the vertical layout as the vertical tree is my point of interest. Thanks for sharing this. Sep 27th
83 Sep 25 Comment As noted by others, the perspective on the image is excellent. The white roadway line guides me through the photo to the interesting tilted lamppost. The tonal contrast is also very good with the darker foreground and lighter background. Excellent image, thanks for sharing! Sep 27th
83 Sep 25 Comment Very nice image. The details and overall sharpness are excellent. I agree with the above comments regarding the highlights on the foreground rocks. Also, on a personal basis, I would remove the tourists in the photo to keep the focus on the structure. Sep 27th
83 Sep 25 Reply Thanks Elsie! Yes, the texture in the background are lily pads that the swans were swimming by. I worked a lot in LR to try to de-emphasize them as much as possible. Sep 15th

87 Sep 25 Comment Very nice action photo! Also a great story line on how you created this image...glad you were not injured! I agree with Steve's comments. The only thing I would add is to possibly look into the monochrome option for this photo. The tonal contrasts could be very interesting. Thanks for sharing this! Sep 8th
87 Sep 25 Comment Very nice image! Great detail throughout. I agree with the others about the corner brightness. I also agree that this would be a great monochrome photo, with perhaps a sepia overtone. Nice work, thanks for sharing this! Sep 8th
87 Sep 25 Comment A very nice and creative image! The center focus with the softer details further out are great. The geometry of the spin adds to the creativity of the image. This is very good example of creativity that encourages me to think more creatively. Thanks for sharing this! Sep 8th
87 Sep 25 Comment Great work on this photo, turning it into an artistic image! The respective color tones of warm orange and cool blue really add to the quality of the image. I agree with removing the people and this is nice work in doing so. Thanks for sharing this! Sep 8th
87 Sep 25 Comment Excellent image! I really like the dark bluish overtones complimenting the story line of this photo. The overall details, especially of the stormy sky, are great. Great photo and poem. Thanks for sharing this! Sep 8th
87 Sep 25 Reply Thanks Jennifer! I agree the image could be a little sharper and appreciate your suggestions! Sep 8th
87 Sep 25 Reply Thanks Cindy! I appreciate your insights regarding the bug, which I tend to agree. Sep 8th
87 Sep 25 Reply Thanks Steven! I'm a little undecided on the bug as well. At first I thought it was an interesting addition, but now not so sure. Sep 6th
