45 Jul 22 Comment Same here, love these old cars and trucks. I always wonder where they have been. For me, its a little too bright so I took it to Luminar Neo and cropped to square, reduced the exposure a tad, sharpened a touch and added a slight vignette. For help I suggest stepping to the right a couple of feet to get more of the ¾ view along with the door. Show us more of this place, very interesting.

50 Jul 22 Comment Hi, Karl. Yes there are plenty of standard editing tools. One thing it doesn't have is a pen to write on the image. Im an iPhone fan. Jul 8th
50 Jul 22 Comment Agree on both. They are different and successful. Love the use of natural light as the light makes the picture. Good eye. If you are usiing a DSLR it might be high ISO and still not noticable noise. Jul 8th
50 Jul 22 Comment Repetition really stands out of this wood structure. Good detail, contrast and tonality. For me, it is a little too tight. Showing some of the end would give it context. My eye wants to see what is leading down to the end. Having a subject in the image would give it a story line. Jul 8th
50 Jul 22 Comment Come on mom - lets get going! It comes through that Benito is having just too much fun. Good capture. I like the post processing. Suggest you boost that ISO for next time. That Nikon will handle 800 without trouble. Jul 8th
50 Jul 22 Comment Foggy and dramatic. Well done. Makes us wonder what is around the corner. Jul 8th
50 Jul 22 Comment Looks good in both mono and color in my opinion. Love these old tractors. You could add a little vignette as an enhancement. I it a prety tight image. And, a good monochrome. Jul 8th

57 Jul 22 Comment Well done bird portrait caught at just the right timing. I like the water droplets. Too bad the yellowish neck is not white and that is the breaks of making white bird shots. Wondering if you tried making it monochrome? Malomg the backgroiund black is a plus. Good job.

57 Jul 22 Comment Your story and data really help to show this image. Very creative use of the cardboard and lighting. To my eye the black and white version is good too. How are you going to get that magnet off the vise? Very interesting picture. Jul 12th

87 Jul 22 Comment Good eye in capturing this spur of the moment picture. It does tell a story and has interest. The sign makes the shot, Contrst, white shirt detal is very good as well as the composition. Jul 12th

92 Jul 22 Reply Yes, love my Fujifilm gear. The lenses are super sharp. I switched over from Nikon after all my gear was stolen in a smash and grab in Los Angeles several years ago. I'm nuts about Fujifilm now. Jul 6th
92 Jul 22 Comment This is what street photography is all about - in my mind. This picture tells a story. Your title is perfect. I like the original contrast better than the submitted image which is a little flat. You cropped the picture perfectly. I am not one to feel uncomfortable with street photography. It is the "something interesting" that counts. The more interesting the better, even if uncomfortable. Good eye award. Jul 6th
92 Jul 22 Comment You certainly captured the mans emotion very well. It must have been an interesting ceremony. What is neat about this image is the man is focused on what he is seeing and not posing for the camera comes through. Good work. Jul 6th
92 Jul 22 Comment It is truly an abstract image. To my eye the white sky and squigglies take away from the bustling girls. It is more like an experimental image than sharp street photography. Jul 6th
92 Jul 22 Comment Great title. It fits perfectly. You timed the exposure very well. Front foot on the ground and swinging the empty brown bag. For me, there is no need to improve it. Good job. Jul 6th
92 Jul 22 Comment Welcome To Richmond. To my eye what is interesting about this image is there are no people. More of a study in architectural destign. It is documentary. It would become a street photograph if there were a couple of people down below. Then might tell a story. Your processing and technical is spot on. For help, I might straighten the vertical lines. All you need is something interestiing in the picture to give it a subject. Jul 6th
