2 May 21 Reply Thanks, Piers. Although originally I liked the group of three and the single, but I have changed and do like it better. One problem I am having is when trying to get rid of the shadows, it's turning a brownish color. Tried increasing whites, exposure, and decreasing shadows. Nothing worked. Suggestions?

Also, I can't seem to get my file the right size anymore for this. What are we supposed to be using for file size?		 May 5th
2 May 21 Comment Martin, your editing certainly changed this image. The colors are phenomenal, and I like the perspective that gives you the feeling the fence goes on forever. May 5th
2 May 21 Comment Jacqueline, to me birds are the most difficult subject to photograph. I commend you for giving it a try. I especially like the detail in his right wing. If you were not submitting this to a nature competition, this would be an ideal example of changing the background since it is competing with the duck. Then you would be able to work with the head to bring out more contrasts and the catch light which might already be there. Now we will see what the experts say! May 5th
2 May 21 Comment Karen, on first studying your photo, I thought this is one to not mess with because it looks so natural. Adding a little space to the left does improve the composition. Although I like Martin's edit, it's just a matter of whether you want a soft look or not. Love your shot. May 5th
2 May 21 Comment Hung, I am amazed at how well you photography theatrical productions hand held and in low light. Your lighting on the subjects is beautiful, the colors are outstanding, and the image is sharp. You must have a really steady hand. I do like the crop Martin made. Great image! May 5th
2 May 21 Comment I like the perspective of your shot that makes me want to walk through the bridge. I think that as long as you were changing skies, how about one with a few clouds in the bright blue sky that would make a nice contrast to the color of the bridge? I feel the busy clouds take away from the importance of the bridge structure. Also, I would suggest cropping off the bottom to eliminate most of the grass. May 5th
2 May 21 Comment Jim, I love this gate and agree with the others that it's a bit busy. I believe that Stuart and Bev took a little creative liberty and changed it perhaps too much from your original with the artistic approach. I think that Piers' approach gives it the realism that you are probably after and darkening the greenery behind the gate helped separate it.
Just a question from everyone: Should we be changing the maker's picture so much? It seems when I first got into this, we were told to make suggestions but don't re-do the image. I believe that may have changed. 		May 5th
