22 Nov 20 Comment I think the sign is a part of the story -- you have the rider entering a do not enter zone. Perhaps crop out some of the bottom to give the rider a more prominent place in the composition. Nov 9th
22 Nov 20 Reply Correction -- I meant to say over exposed. Nov 7th
22 Nov 20 Comment The pale blues of the lake and sky go along well with the golden brown hues of the hillsides. Almost all prominent lines are diagonals that converge on the lake. It does seem a touch underexposed, and one thing that occurred to me was that this could also pass for a long exposure, full moon night shot. Do you know what all the yellow stuff is along the shoreline? Pretty and tranquil capture. Nov 7th
22 Nov 20 Comment Very creative treatment of this picture, Peggy! I like the artificial, man made stairway "exploding" into the natural image of the tree, almost like a firecracker (with the stairway as kind of a fuse), which then leads the eye (or at least my eye) back to the surrounding man made setting of the wall and windows. The building seems a little under exposed, but maybe this was the look you were after. Perhaps the window on the left could be cloned out. Great job! Nov 6th
22 Nov 20 Comment I like the intersection of the strong vertical lines provided by the trees and the strong horizontal lines of the fence. Together the fence and the trail give a nice line meandering from the front of the image toward the back and then into the forest. Like Mike, I too wish we had colors like this down here in south Florida. Green throughout the year can sometimes get a bit monotonous. Nov 6th
22 Nov 20 Reply I think you're right about cutting off too much of the engine smoke. Nov 3rd
22 Nov 20 Comment Lots to like about this image, Mike. Not a straight line in sight -- all those nice crooked, meandering branches are quite effective. I like the intense blue coupled with the grays. The busy middle right of the picture is counterbalanced by the smaller, less busy, area extending out toward the left. The top branch is cut off. I could see someone observing that there needs to be a bird or something sitting somewhere on one of the branches, but that is not what you intended. Good spot! It will be interesting to see if some of the other members notice all sorts of shapes in the image -- e g, fingers reaching out, birds in flight, etc. Nov 3rd
22 Nov 20 Comment I like the opposing directions taken by the blast of steam and the smoke. You captured the right moment as the train began to pass over the bridge. Might be my monitor, but the sky appears to be blown out and the distant hill top seems too blue. The brightness of the sky detracts from the train -- maybe you could crop down to reveal just a hint of the far background, like in the original. Maybe crop in from the right in order to make the train a more prominent part of the composition. Could you experiment with one of the distort tools to make the yellow and red cars have less of a leaning-in feel? Nov 3rd
