50 Jun 17 Comment Thanks everyone for commenting. I do appreciate you all. It helps. Jun 28th
50 Jun 17 Reply Thanks Paul. I hoped the Monochrome version would fit in with our group. Jun 14th
50 Jun 17 Reply Cindy, many thanks. I agree. Yes, I did make prints including a package of wallet size for his family. Interesting fact is he is the only full time employee of the Delta FD. The other 20 or so members are all part time paid volunteers. Quite an efficient and well managed operation. Jun 14th
50 Jun 17 Comment The tonality of contrast is moody and mysterious, very interesting and creative treatment. Nik is a go to set of tools. Good eye. Jun 12th
50 Jun 17 Comment Looks like two different shots to me. IMHO the place for this image retouching is photoshop. This, due to the fact you can crop and use perspctive control of all the angles. Jun 12th
50 Jun 17 Comment For me this is a great subject for Black and White. For help, I might have backed off a little as the crop is a little tight for context. The pier helps tell a story. Detail is there in the dark areas which is necessary. Well done. Jun 12th
50 Jun 17 Comment Very creative with the fog. Yes, I feel the moodiness and the foggy morning. Composition great, too. Jun 12th
50 Jun 17 Comment Great action capture. Perfect timing. Makes me want to be there. I feel the racing competitiveness. Good job and good eye award. Jun 12th
50 Jun 17 Comment Very interesting in Monochrome. You certainly held the detail and the contrast. I am a fan of black backgrounds for flower pics. Jun 12th

69 Jun 17 Reply Brenda, agree, the desert is different and very very dry here. Im 81 and can get down, however, getting back up is the pits, ha. (This getting old ain't easy.) Therefore, I dont get down much anymore. I do appreciate and thank you for the thought. Jun 18th
69 Jun 17 Reply Candy, thanks I do agree and like your version better. I probably should have submitted the single plant on the right as it looks to me like an anomaly. The plant on the left is more "nature like" is what I found in doing a smattering of research. My knowledge of wildflowers is pretty much infantile. Jun 14th
69 Jun 17 Comment Good capture of an interesting bird. Since I found out about the History Brush tool in photoshop why not give it a go to tone down that sky and brown. The trick of the history brush is you can ONLY use it with the original size image. If a single pixel is modified it will stop. So, use it first. The choices within the tool are over the top therefore, start with the color burn and color dodge choices. Takes a bit of playing around and worth it with an image like this.

69 Jun 17 Comment The feeling I get is the background, being light, distracts from the animals. I would crop to the top of that little tree bringing more attention to the rhinos. The bird flying right to left is a nice touch. Jun 10th
69 Jun 17 Comment I love black backgrounds. Really makes this an outstanding image that the eye can explore the detail of the flower. My feeling is it should be printed to 20" wide and framed in medium oak. Jun 10th
69 Jun 17 Comment Oh yes, that really makes it a fine photograph. Jun 10th
69 Jun 17 Comment Interesting image that tells a story. I like the idea and capture of the takeoff. That big tree in the center is no doubt distracting.I played with the History Brush tool in PSCC to Color Darken the big tree and Color Dodge the birds. No other retouching. Just food for thought. Thanks for sharing. Jun 10th
69 Jun 17 Comment Excellent color, composition, sharpness. What I find lacking in this image is the detail at upper right and foreground. I know it is very difficult due to the limited latitude of the sensor. Jun 10th
69 Jun 17 Comment Very well done in my opinion. You had the right lens and exposure. Im not expert enough to off any help. Jun 10th
