50 Jan 22 Comment You get the Good Eye Award for sure. Great capture,
Jan 13th
50 Jan 22 Reply Agree the upper right needs to go away. Respectfully disagree the big one is out of focus. Rather, it is a blown out exposure of the natural cotton like plant at the time. Look at 100% to see the sharp edges. Unable to do much about that. I cropped it with a free ratio rather than photographic. Your comments are helpful and appreciated. Jan 6th
50 Jan 22 Comment Great image which is wall worthy. Print it! Jan 6th
50 Jan 22 Comment Making it high key is better as is cropping out the reeds on the left. Giving the bird some room to move forward adds interest. It might work as a square crop. Yes, the bird needs more detail as Cindy has done. An interesting subject to photograph. Jan 6th
50 Jan 22 Comment For me it is a little contrast-y. That So on the left is an important part. So, I took it into Luminar AI and played around to make the upper left blend in more. A very interesting image. Jan 6th
50 Jan 22 Comment Agree, the composition works well. Horizon is straight. A peaceful image. It would be helpful to know particulars of how you made the image. Jan 6th

58 Jan 22 Comment Great capture which tells a story and shows all the kids with warmth. Color version is best in my humble opinion. Composition perfect. Well done at minimum shutter speed. You could have raised the ISO successfully. Jan 6th
58 Jan 22 Comment Good eye to capture this interesting scene. Pretty neat that her iphone is so clear. It tells a story. I like your ISO setting. I'm in Group 92. Jan 6th

92 Jan 22 Reply Same here, it sort of grows on you. Jan 18th
92 Jan 22 Comment Nice portrait of the old theater. For help I would open up the heavily shadowed covered entry. Suggest shooting this again earlier or later whenever the sunlight makes for better lighting. Holding the camera level would correct the backward leaning perspective. A slight vignette is appropriate as well. Having a rider on the bicycle would be nice.

92 Jan 22 Comment In my mind it's an interesting snapshot but not really street photography or wall worthy. The black and white conversion is very flat and sort of soft. I would really like to see the color original. Jan 4th
92 Jan 22 Comment Pandemonium is a good word for this capture. It is very busy with lots of interest overall. A fine street shot. One suggestion is to read the guidelines, above, for our group. Always submit the original so we all learn together. Jan 4th
92 Jan 22 Comment For me, you have cropped and processed the image very well. I do not see distracting noise in the image and nothing wrong with ISO 800. You could have gone higher. You panning technique is great. Jan 4th
