I believe you have caught the mood of the last rays of the day very well. I get the feeling that it's time for everyone to settle in for the night with the last boat coming. I like the gradient of the light leading to the sunset and the triple wave action that my eyes follow. I would suggest that you crop about 1/3 of the lower section of the water to put more emphasis on the boat. I can't figure out whether the image is tilted or whether it is just the cloud formation. Looking at the water edge at upper left compared to upper right, I get the feeling that it is leaning, but then it also gives the appearance of a fish eye lens. |

I like what you did. The blues are more pleasing to my eyes, and I can see the clouds now. |

Thanks, Piers. I will have to experiment with toning down the pink. |

Thank you, Laurie. We live near the largest rubber band manufacturer in the world, and anyone who goes on their tour leaves with a bag of rubber bands. |

Piers, the billowed red sail is perfect and immediately catches my eye as a good lead into the image. I would like to see a little more contrast between the blues of the sky and the water to give more depth, which you had more in your original image. You definitely have clouds, but they are difficult to see. Perhaps using software to extract the detail will give more contrast. Would love to live near the lake for the challenge of the shot. |

Laurie, I love this. I think your composition is spot on, contrasting colors beautiful, focus great. If I were to suggest just one thing, it would be to fix the little line that goes through the upper portion in the center petal. But it is a flower, and I wouldn't suggest that except it's the only part that is not PERFECT in my opinion. I wish it were my shot! |

Bob, this is one of those images that you wish you could try again because it has such strong possibilities. As we know, it's all about the light. I think perhaps a longer exposure or higher ISO might have helped to get the color you were after. But with it too late for that, I believe you can get lots of help with editing the contrasts, colors, and detail and perhaps cropping out the sky a little above the highest point of mountain. Would love to see what you could do with it. |

Thanks, Bob. Any suggestions on how I can edit to get more depth? |

Just noticed the phone booth is slightly tilted--or is it on uneven pavement? |

Nice clone. Kind of scary that it's even possible to do that! |

Harry, what really captures my eyes from the first glance is the detail of his one eye and the tongue. I can almost feel that tongue! I like the way you captured the water coming from the top leading out to the bottom. The sharpness on the left side, I feel, is a nice contrast to the small fading out on the right, yet his whiskers are so sharp. I believe the vignetting was a good choice to give more emphasis to his head. I'm wondering in the general rules of photography, is it ok to nip off his ear? Just wondering! Hope you can find another cat interested in catching the water for you. |

I love this shot, Al. I was there many years ago, probably close to when the bridge was first brought in and when they were beginning to build up gambling there. Beautiful place at that time. I believe you have done well in your composition and contrasting color of bringing out the phone booth, sky. To me it is very sharp. I think the angle of the bridge is perfect bringing us in and back out of the image. Since my eye does stop at the left top pole a little, I would suggest cropping the image at that pole or to clone the pole out completely. Great shot! |
