Hung, yes, I agree about showing up the falls more. I had originally struggled with that asking myself am I taking a picture of the falls or the rocks in the foreground. I like how you sharpened the falls but still leaving it soft. I went back to Lightroom and tried to sharpen and did not succeed. How did you do it--just the radial tool? |

Thanks, Al. I think that's a good suggestion to crop a little on right. |

Harry, another beautiful specimen! He certainly is drawing me into the scene with the catchlight in his eye and the colorful feathers. In my opinion, if the upper left were cropped some, it will bring the bird into a better position and also take my eye away from the brightness there, though I think you should leave maybe about half of that color there that has a unique pattern. Also, a graduated filter I feel might help to detract from the brightness of the left vertical branch, as well as the lower left that is brighter. I'd like to live where these birds are out in the wild! |

Al, I like the angle of your capture that gives me the feeling that this plane is about to take off once those props start turning. I feel that your selection of fStop resulted in it being sharp with all in focus. Processing it in B&W I think produced the WWII look that you were after, especially with the clouds. Instead of having more of the left prop show as Harry suggested and since it's probably too late for that, I would suggest cropping some more of it at edge or into the engine pod. Just a thought. I think this would be a good print for a man's cave! |

Gary, I believe this capture shows the intense concentration of this young man. I think your lines are good with the arm leading from the lower corner that has me stop at his fingers on the violin. Yes, I agree with Harry that his face is not as sharp as it could be because of your fStop, but I wonder if it doesn't help to accent the violin by having it more in focus. I haven't learned when it's acceptable to have something out-of-focus when it's close up. Gary's rapture of the people, I believe, does help focus on the young man, and maybe even the poles could be cloned also. As with Hung, I like your photo journalism. |

Hung, I admire your abilities in the field of photo journalism--something I hesitate to tackle. I feel your image definitely tells a story of the beauty of these dancers. You captured the couple at just the right time displaying the beautiful lines. I agree with Harry that the whites could be toned down some, but I like the overall tone in contrast to the dark background. I would only crop that very far right edge to eliminate the lines that might be the curtains and that spot. I believe you could also do a little housekeeping on the floor and clone out a few dust spots. I love the image! |

I think this a beautiful and peaceful shot. I like the leading lines of the boats going into the picture with the one on the left being the center of interest. I know that the boats are buoyed, but my eyes are drawn to the bright colors of the buoys. I wonder if they can be toned down some. You were certainly lucky to get a little break in the sky. In my opinion the scene would be balanced better if some of the dark sky were cropped. I feel, then, that the brightness will really spotlight the main boat. Nice capture! |

Thanks, Harry. I believe that is the first time I have done moving water in HDR. I always bracket to see which looks best but decided the best this time was combined! |
