2 Feb 19 Comment Another beautiful capture of old world from Hung! I love all the colors of the buildings, all very sharp. I also like the contrast of the old (the clothes hanging) with the new (the TV antenna). I realize that the clothes line in the lower half helps to tell the story of this contrast, but I would think it would be less distracting if it were cloned out. There are plenty of other interesting things to look at without the line that cuts across the picture. Beautiful image.

2 Feb 19 Comment I like the story this image tells and your choice of monochrome. The main tree in your subject is sharp with good bokeh for the others. My first thought was that the hill leading to the subject tree should be in complete focus or lower portion cropped, but perhaps it gradually brings focus to the tree itself. So I will leave that for the others for comment. Nice story. Feb 10th
2 Feb 19 Comment I believe you captured this image at a beautiful time of day with the soft colors of the sunset and the reflection in the smooth water that gives a WOW to the image. I think the image is sharp and has a good leading line, as well as the the sunset highlight of the water that heads "north." My only suggestion would be to add a little canvas to the right to include more of the concrete support since my eye says that it wants to see more. I like your choice of flipping the image. I have never tried that and will need to keep that in mind. I'm glad they saved this awesome bridge. Feb 10th
2 Feb 19 Reply Thanks, Laurie. I, too, would like more space. The original shot did have it, but I have made so many changes to the image that it would be impossible to go back to it. I tried adding more canvas but was not successful in getting it to repeat pixels correctly. I also like the color better, but I'm looking for a B&W for a competition. Feb 7th
2 Feb 19 Comment Laurie, I believe your little bit of editing made your image pop. Good colors and contrast. Although I did not notice it at first glance, I wonder if you could clone out the truck. Once my eye caught it, it wants to keep looking at it. Not a big deal but suggest cropping out a little of the sky above the highest cloud and tallest tree on the left. You must have done your border in black because I don't see it on this black background. Feb 2nd
2 Feb 19 Comment I do envy your being able to spend winters in Arizona where there are such beautiful sunsets, as well as being warmer and so many opportunities for photography. I don't know how you could improve this--saturation right on, gradual change in color that leads my eye out of the picture, beautiful silhouette of the palm. Feb 2nd
2 Feb 19 Comment My first reaction, Harry, is this image is from a really scary movie! I feel you captured the mood of LET ME OUT OF HERE! I do prefer your original, though, because of the detail and sharpness of the feathers, as well as the sharpness of the cage grid. Perhaps if you worked with the claws in the original to give more contrast, you would have drawn more attention to them. But if you don't want it to look like a bird, then I think the conversion did it. Feb 2nd
