26 Feb 17 Comment I didn't even see the woman on the rock initially. My eyes went for the diagonal line created by the lighter (whitish) colored rock. It was when I circled back that I saw her. I am just wondering how the heck she got up there. I agree with all comments above regarding the bit of sky on the upper left of the frame. Feb 24th
26 Feb 17 Comment I like Mervyn's version with the tag crisp and in focus...it gives me a grounding point. I have not used that technique of zooming the lens myself yet, but will put that on my list of things to learn. Very cool. Feb 24th
26 Feb 17 Comment The snow covered mountains are gorgeous against the blue sky. The shadows and all the lines add an interesting texture. The animals give a good sense of the size of the mountains. I just want to have a snow day from work, find a sled and have some fun sliding down the mountain. Although the animals do give a sense of size, they are pretty small and I would not have known what they were had you not told us. I like the photo as is, though. Feb 23rd
26 Feb 17 Comment Nothing like seeing an animal in it's own environment. I think he gave you a nice pose with attitude to boot! I like the lighting on his face as for me it highlights the beautiful golden color of his fur. The blue sky along with the tree on the right side of the frame are pulling my eyes. Feb 23rd
26 Feb 17 Reply Dang, Bob, I see these boats almost everyday so I didn't even think to let everyone know that they are shrimp boats. The poles and wires are a part of the boats...they lower the "booms" and somehow or another the nets are cast and I think they drag the nets behind them. From what I understand shrimping is really hard work. To answer your question, yes I did take some of the reflections, but the water that day was a yucky brown so I didn't like them. I know you could probably change the color with your awesome post processing skills, but I'm still working on that. :-) Feb 8th
26 Feb 17 Comment Bob, I think this works! In my opinion you did a wonderful job of bringing those dead brown leaves back to life and in this instance don't believe you went too far. To me your alterations emphasized the many different shapes and different kinds of trees that are in your area. I think your grandson is a lucky fellow to have his grandpa showing him the ropes. Does he show interest in helping you with the post processing stuff? The kids these days pick it up so fast. Feb 3rd
26 Feb 17 Comment How fun, Jose! It sounds like you had a great time. Anyway, to answer your question I definately like the vertical format. I think it was a smart move to include the painter's supplies in the photo as it adds to the depth. For me the view through the window is the primary interest with the paints and paper playing a support role. In the horizontal format, my eyes tend to hang out in the darker corners and I don't feel like the view out of the window is that important. If I were a painter that studio would be prime location I bet! Feb 3rd
