Jack...
I took a minute and went back to your image from this month. See attached. I noted you had a tone in it rather than a strict black/white. I went to all black and white, lightened the cloud slightly, sharpened the foreground slightly, and added darken corners from Color Efex. You and I tend to see contrast and blacks differently, but here's my attempt at Ansel-esque! |

Thanks for both the feedback and the information on Luminar, Palli. This image was more whimsical than a serious attempt at a competitive image, but it was fun to just 'play'. The new computer is up and running now, so time to get back to the basics and get out and make some more images! All the best,

Thanks Melanie...appreciate your comments. I agree...and this month's image was more whimsical and experimental than a serious attempt at infrared fine art. I think the volume of leafless tree branches alone disqualify this one from making it into the international exhibition standards! |

Thanks Charles...your comments are valuable and appreciated. This month's image was a bit whimsical...playing more than working on fine art. |

Thanks Arik...I appreciate the critique and the wonderful information on software. I've used PS for so, so long that I fail to keep abreast of the 'all other' that is out there. Your comments were very helpful. As for my image this month, it was a bit whimsical in nature and sort of a hodge podge...the sunburst doesn't seem to add value in looking at it a second/third time!

Hi Emil,
I like this very much, and for me, the addition of the clouds has created a dramatic and strong first impression. In other words, the image has a lot of impact. Two minor suggestions...tone down that very bright section of the building in the upper rh corner of it...second, there's some messy noise in one small section of the sky you could easily smooth with Gaussian Blur or another tool. |

Hi Palli,
Great scene! Personally, I am troubled by the large mass of road, even as it leads to the bridge. I would have liked a composition with you more to the right and maybe onto the snow/grasses with little or no roadway. Also, it doesn't look completely sharp to my eye...but that could have been your intent? Standing right where you were but bending down to near the road surface might also have minimized the 'mass' of road that troubles me a bit. |

Hi Charles,
Magnificent. My only suggestion, and I noted this the second I opened your image, is that the foreground needs a whiter cloud reflection to give the image more balance. The foreground and mid-ground are quite dark. |

Fine art Jack...just magnificent in my view. I might select the foreground grasses and sharpen them ever so little, then darken them a tad, especially on the frame edges. |

Arik...
My very first impression of this...HOW DID ARIK manage two completely different tones of white in the flower versus the foliage all around it. It's almost as if the color temperatures were different on the bloom versus all the rest. It has immediate impact in my opinion and is strong due to its simplicity and stunning presentation. |

Melanie...
Having been here in June, I totally relate to this image. It's well done, and the work on it is obvious. Well done in my view. |
