33 Apr 17 Comment Larry,
I like your treatment of the shot. However, I subscribe to the philosophy that Cityscapes need to have context. Without some distracting elements this wall could exist anywhere, even on a teenagers closet door, eh?

33 Apr 17 Reply I cropped out some sky. Never got the whole building into the viewfinder.

33 Apr 17 Comment Good shot. I think some of the upper portion of the image needs to be cropped out to stop competition with the flowers, as the flowers are the "subject". Still, context is everything in my book. This shot puts the viewer in the picture so, maybe a little less sky....maybe. How did you get reverse key stoning of the verticals? Apr 15th
33 Apr 17 Comment I think I would have tried to darken the hot spot in the top center of the image: clone it out, or something. Otherwise, nice. Apr 15th
33 Apr 17 Comment Good as is. Well done. Apr 15th

44 Apr 17 Comment Challenging subject. How much cooking the color is too much, eh? Apr 15th
44 Apr 17 Comment To me there's too much foreground in relationship to the human element. Maybe it is just the camera angle to the path. I really am curious to know what the thing is at the end of the path. Nice. Apr 15th
44 Apr 17 Comment The brush in the foreground competes with the rest of the image for attention. What happens if the brush is darkened? Apr 15th
44 Apr 17 Comment Surreal. Well executed. Apr 15th
44 Apr 17 Comment I like it as is. Good blending of tones and exposures. I don't mind the optical distortion. This shot gives the viewer a look at someone's home life (if the set up is authentic, but how does a photographer know that in advance?). Apr 15th
44 Apr 17 Comment Granted, the old pickup is the main element in the scene. However, I value the context of the subject more than the esthetics of the portrait. Without context, this image of the old truck is nothing. It could have easily been a still life, made with a model, on a set.
By including more stuff in the image, I get to process a larger HDR challenge. I get to offer a story, or at least a question, of something happening on this piece of land. Change is displacing the old trucks that rusted here. What will the change be? Tune in next year and maybe I can answer that. 		Apr 15th
