52 Feb 21 Reply Many thanks!! I also was an Aperture user and switched to Lightroom when Apple abandoned it. I like the concept of selective darkening. I am taking a course in Photoshop and hopefully will be able to apply if soon. I will explore Backblaze. I do have an Apple account but it does not have much storage. Your backup system sounds terrific. Feb 20th
52 Feb 21 Comment Mike, congratulations for your amazing image "The Leap". I almost do not want to know, but, did that poor giraffe escape that lion?
Your crop of "Glossy Ibis" is great. This is another bird I have never seen. Where did you photograph it? The coloring on the bird is subtle and the repetition of the colors in the background is very pleasing. The dramatic sweep of the wings, the downward drape of the feet, and the curve of the body create a powerful sensation of upward motion. The upper right background is still bit a distracting to my eyes. I might try a graded filter to tone it down even further.		 Feb 17th
52 Feb 21 Comment Bravo for restoring your new landscape, and on the number of bird species you have documented. How grand that your image shows the phoebe singing. I have yet to see and hear one. Do you ever record their songs? I like Mike's crop and I agree with Sharon that those white blobs should be darkened. Feb 17th
52 Feb 21 Comment What a magnificent mountain. I do wonder however why so many people feel compelled to attempt that dangerous climb. I get dizzy just thinking about it. Plus, its cold up there and little air AND the view looking up from where you where is so very pleasing. I agree with Mike that less sky is needed on top. ANd I like keeping that big fluffy white cloud on the left in the image. Feb 17th
52 Feb 21 Comment What a peaceful spot. I like the warmth in colors in the processed version. I like Pam's crop for it retains the reflections of the tree tops, the curve of the pond and the rim of snow. Mike was right to crop out the man made elements. I see in the original a chain blocking the left, but if possible a different angle from the left might also have been interesting. Feb 17th
52 Feb 21 Comment How nice of that hawk to pose for you. He appears to be looking over his shoulder at you thinking "well hurry up and get your shot, Im getting hungry". The hawk's colors blend perfectly with the background boehk and post- even the bits of green. I do like the vertical crop.

52 Feb 21 Comment Wonderful image. The square crop is perfect. Excellent detail in the feathers. He cleaned up very well! The beak stands out against the white, and leads right to that intense eye. That intensity is somewhat reduced in your revised version. I like the first edit better. Feb 17th

79 Feb 21 Comment I love this image! The symmetry and colors are pleasing to my eyes, AND the objects and swirls spark my imagination. When I first looked at the image I thought of the Twilight Zone episode, "The Langoliers". Reading your description of your process of creating the image was inspirational. I moved the image around on my screen to bisect it. Cropping out the left side produced another neat image that suggested the Astronaut was walking to the star. I rather prefer the half image.

79 Feb 21 Comment Well, the reflections in the water are indeed spectacular, and cropping the top to remove the feet would produce a fine image. I do enjoy some photographic humor, but I totally missed this one. BUT--having studied the image I know why I missed the humor. Too much of the bird at the top is shown. If the image is cropped just below the body shadow only the two footed legs and their shadows would show. The title "Footloose" would then make instant sense - and humor to me. Feb 19th
79 Feb 21 Comment The theme of your exhibit is powerful. The effect of the overlay of the vase is perfect. The change in mood that the B&W version generates is dramatic. The brown version evokes primitive art, while the B&W version produces a cold shattered effect appropriate to the theme. In studying the image I noticed an element that fits the theme perfectly: just beneath the mouth on a diagonal slanting to the lower right is an evil-looking head. Did you plan this? Perhaps a military theme can be introduced by having the models wear different military hats. The hats could be covered by the vase; enough would show to make the point. Feb 19th
79 Feb 21 Comment You have wonderful detail in the central region of the flower.
I love the tiny faces that appear there. Was this blossom removed from the plant and placed a brown background, or did you isolate the blossom in post processing? Can you show us the original? 		Feb 19th
79 Feb 21 Comment Very interesting. I feel that you have moved the image from photography to graphic art. What software did you use in post processing? Did you take the photograph? If so what camera, lens, settings? Can we see the original image before you altered it? Feb 19th
