2 Jan 20 Comment What beautiful colors and lighting that makes this almost look surreal. The diagonals of the lights lead me right to the pianist--good lighting technician! I would only suggest cropping to just below his bench and perhaps just a little off the top just above the top light. Nice shot again. Jan 19th
2 Jan 20 Comment I got into this conversation kind of late and can't help but comment on your last edit. I like the way you have cropped the image to bring more emphasis to the fisherman and not so much water and sky. What sky remains, I think, has all that beautiful color you want to emphasize also. I feel the lightening of the grass also makes the fisherman pop. Nice edits Martin and Piers! Jan 19th
2 Jan 20 Comment I believe you have a nice balance (pun intended) with the yellows and the orange/reds against the stage left brown. I am brought into the image from either side with the theater graphics pointing to the people or the people leading me out the image via the graphics. Either way works for me. I do believe you might have gotten a sharper image of the people if your f-stop were different or if you had more time to play with your settings while HIDING your camera, but under the conditions I feel you got a great capture.

2 Jan 20 Comment Brenda, nice catch on the action. The agony on his face has me thinking this is after he hit the ball with his head (a move that always makes me cringe). I like the way Martin cropped it to bring in more of the story. I feel that when you were softening the exposure and sharpness, you may have caught the young man in that softening because he looks much sharper in your original. I would suggest that you mask him when doing that. I love your action shots! Jan 6th
2 Jan 20 Comment Dan, I think she is beautiful. The contrasting colors of her dress and umbrella against her soft face, I believe, make a perfect portrait. To me her face is flawless with great catch light in her eyes and her head framed by the jewels. I find myself really drawn to her. Nice! Jan 6th
2 Jan 20 Reply Thank you for your comments, Martin. Yes, a tree would have been nice but not in a cotton field. I, too, think it would have been nice to have it at a 45 degree angle. I did have some shots with that view, but there were houses on the right. Perhaps you would have liked something more like this unedited shot. Jan 6th
2 Jan 20 Comment Welcome to our group, Martin. It will be great to have someone from the other end of our photographic world! I believe you have done well in editing an otherwise bland image to make it pop in black and white. I like the way you have cropped it with the left side being anchored by the tree and the line of the building leading me out on the right, as well as the crop of the lower and upper sides. The texture you brought out, I believe, accents the age of the hotel and the abandoned look with the gravel. The sky gifts it a ghostly appearance. Nice editing! Jan 6th
