22 Mar 18 Reply Thanks John -- I'll look into that. Mar 22nd
22 Mar 18 Reply Can you do that with a moving object? Mar 22nd
22 Mar 18 Comment No, I certainly don't mind, but what I was trying to do was eliminate all of that bright light in the background which was overwhelming the subjects. Mar 21st
22 Mar 18 Comment I like the blues and gold/oranges, and as Peggy points out, the way the ripple pattern in the sky is picked up in the foreground water. This effect acts as a frame for the scene in the middle. I also like the misty look where the hills in the foreground meet those in the back. I feel this image does have a focal point, and that is the sunset -- I'm glad you kept it off center. The boats don't bother me -- they add to the sense of coming darkness. Reminds me a bit of an impressionist landscape. Very nice work. Mar 17th
22 Mar 18 Comment I see Peggy's point about context but I think cropping in helps in that the focal point of the composition is the coyote's fixation on the potential meal in the foreground. Mike, you captured the moment very well and I was beginning to feel a bit chilly myself with those golden brown winter colors, and the ice. Mike, I wonder if this might have been an opportunity to experiment with focus stacking, which would have placed the cranes in focus as well. Did you have enough resolution to zoom in even more in order to catch the expression on the coyote's face? Very nice shot. Mar 16th
22 Mar 18 Reply Yeah, the noise was always going to be a problem because of high ISO and shutter speeds. The way I did this image, more noise was introduced, especially in the shadows. Mar 15th
22 Mar 18 Comment Very nice job of cloning and replacing the sky. I think the problem with the two walkers is that there is no shadow anchoring them to the sidewalk -- they seem to be floating in air. The motorcycle was a nice addition, but one could argue that he was riding away from the action, whereas the walkers were headed toward the activity, as if they were interested in joining the fun. Obviously nice strong leading lines. Could you plum up the street light? It seems to be leaning a bit too much. Nice creative and original composition. Mar 15th
22 Mar 18 Comment Love the golden browns and (somewhat) pale blues. I'm in agreement with Mike, Marti, and Peggy about the blurred branches in front of the leaves. Maybe crop some of the right side of the image out. The background competes a little too much with the leaves even thought it is blurred -- perhaps it (the background) could be darkened a bit. Mar 15th
22 Mar 18 Comment Very pretty image. To Mike's point, I wouldn't necessarily mind having one of my pictures on a brochure. But I do agree with Mike that it is a bit overly saturated, but mostly in the reds. The twig house seems to be a little blue, or is that the way it actually appears? Also, the house is the center of attraction here, so what would happen if you cropped off a quarter of the right side and moved the house off center and gave it more of a starring role? Mar 15th
22 Mar 18 Comment Just guessing -- is this image of the badlands in the Dakotas? You brought out the colors very well and the natural patterns are highlighted by the bands of red-orange.
I like the way the formations recede into the distance, which gives a sense of vastness and also emphasizes the prominent canyon in the foreground. Maybe a little more contrast and a slight vignette, otherwise a beautiful picture.		 Mar 15th
