Thank you, Gary, for your comments. And you are right about the picture being slightly askew. I believe that happens with short people often who need to stand on a step stool to get a better perspective of a building. I just put it in the automatic correction in Lightroom and believe I have it a little better in my computer. Now I have to learn how to add more to the sky above the cross because the straightening brought it too close to the top. I am planning on printing this for our Camera Club contest this spring, and there is nothing worst than a crooked building! So thanks for pointing that out to me. Regarding your comment of leaving the fence--it was the railing on the steps that I talked about cloning out.

Thank you, Hung. I don't travel much, so I feel blessed to be able to catch something like this occasionally. And we have all just begun to learn.

Nice capture, Harry, and even catch light in its eye! I believe your image is well composed filling the frame with good light on the subject. Your image is sharp, I feel, being able to even see the hairs on the bees body! I like the color contrast of the bee against the flower and how the petals on the left fade out, which I believe helps to put more emphasis on the bee. I am not into the study of bees and did not know south Florida no longer has bees. Hope they have some hummingbirds to help pollinate. |

This image, to me, has real impact. I believe the colors are vibrant and the entire scene is tact sharp. My eye is drawn through the entire image that I feel is well composed, not only once in the upper portion but again through the water reflections. In my opinion, your dark sky is perfect to bring out the contrasting bold colors. |

Al, this is reminiscent of some time we spent along the coast in Oregon a few years ago. What beautiful country, and you have captured the scene so well. Wondering if you shot this right out the window since it looks like it would be pretty dangerous to stand there at the curve. I love your vibrant colors and the curved road leading me into the image. I believe if you cropped your image on the right side so that the road is at the corner, I think it might have a better leading line. Because I feel there is almost just one shade of green, I believe if you worked with contrasting some areas, you would give more depth to the image. Perhaps even darken some of the tree trunks, and then make a brighter area at the end of the road for the eye to follow.

Gary, I love this image with the contrasting colors of the roof and sides of the church along with the skyline. Your positioning of the church leads me right into the shot. I like the wispy clouds that also draw my eyes through the image. Before even reading Harry's comments, I also thought the church would stand out more if the foreground were cropped just below that first hill. I do prefer the B&W because to me it makes the church more elegant looking. My eye is also drawn to the little highlights of buildings or something at the horizon on each side, and I believe it might help to touch up the exposure on those. Also, on the B&W, I feel that the cloud could be toned down so that it does not get as much attention as the church. I wish I were a world traveler like you! |

Hung, what a thrill to be able to capture the Taj Mahal. I like the effect of the haze, which to me gives a mysterious appearance. Ditto what Harry said pertaining to the centering and the brown in the corner. I would try to patiently clone before cropping since you would lose so much of the image if cropped. This is one of those captures that you wish you had the opportunity to go back and try again. |

Thank you, Harry. Yes, it definitely was the long exposure that changed the clouds. My friend used higher ISO instead of long exposure, and her clouds were lots of little puffs. Both very different and both very effective. Now if I just learn to plan that ahead instead of just luck. My friend also cloned out the railing, but after a few minutes of my trying, I decided to leave well enough alone. |
