11 Aug 20 Comment What a lovely play of light and shadow! Having just joined a monochrome group, I'm perusing them all. I really like arches, and this unusual series is somehow evocative. Post processing well done for a complete tonal range. Aug 5th

37 Aug 20 Reply Thank you for visiting, Jerry. Aug 27th
37 Aug 20 Comment I see two faces here, pareidolia. One uses the O. R, and symbol. The other includes the latter as the nose, the headlights as eyes, and the visit-to-the-dentist mouth. Fun. Aug 25th
37 Aug 20 Comment Yes, a sign of these melancholy times to which you've added brightness and color, appropriate for an art class. I like the unmasked woman watching the masked students and the classical triangle of her, the teacher and the boy in fluorescent green, the latter two looking toward one another. Actually a circular view including the girl in front. I usually dislike out of focus foregrounds, but those two boys are just supporting characters, so it's fine. Aug 25th
37 Aug 20 Comment This is beautiful, Peter. My eye travels around to each of the sunlit elements. The coolness of the fog makes this a refreshing escape from COVID during our current hot spell. To me, it looks sharp throughout. Aug 25th
37 Aug 20 Comment I like the meandering leading line. It reminds me of an Ansel Adams image where the Snake River looks like silver, something I have never achieved. Aug 25th
37 Aug 20 Comment This is amazing, Gunter: the position, detail, sharpness, DofF. It could be in a naturalist book. What type of owl is this? What is that in front of the forward wing? Aug 25th
37 Aug 20 Comment The blue fur and whiskers along with the painterly effect really sets this apart from other zoo captures. I like the inclusion of the habitat but would tone down the leaves and grass nearest him just a bit. He looks young and approachable, not fierce. I would hang this in my grandson's room. Aug 1st

64 Aug 20 Reply 8x telephoto! I wish I had known about that. Just a month ago I got an iPhone 11 for its portrait capability meaning an out of focus background. But I know your 8x would be of more use than my 5x. Aug 25th
64 Aug 20 Comment I, too, wonder what he's looking at, which causes the viewer to pause and study the image. The brightness of the sky above his head draws my eye from the man. I would tone that down or, perhaps, lower the contrast on the entire background. Aug 25th
64 Aug 20 Comment I agree with Jerry. Mary's sunglasses add to the casualness of the moment , but if she were posing for me, I would ask her to remove them as they distract from her face. Aug 8th
64 Aug 20 Reply Thanks Jerry. I like that It's asymmetrical, but maybe if it were more so, it would look intentional. Actually, it was a grab shot as the group quickly walked past. Aug 8th
64 Aug 20 Comment What is this interesting flower? Wonderful capture of three bees, Stuart! I know they move fast. I wish that at lest the closest two were sharp enough to see their detail, lost in the shallow depth of field. Aug 2nd
64 Aug 20 Comment Your hibiscus is lovely, John, in both color and mono. I think the monochrome conversion creates a more delicate flower. The water drops were a gift. You have done well in both your capture and post processing to show such detail in the whites. I might have put a slight, light grey stroke to keep the image from blending into the background, but that might have detracted from the blossom which seems to be emerging from the BG. Aug 2nd
64 Aug 20 Comment This is very interesting and unusual, Jerry. I find the blues and greys of the original very appealing. I can actually recognize it as dappled light. I believe your intention was to create something mysterious and unrecognizable, with a complete tonal range. In that case you have succeeded. Aug 2nd
64 Aug 20 Comment Love this, Jerry! My kind of graphic image. It's much better in monochrome. The girls' faces are barely distinguishable in either version which is fine b/c they are secondary to the varied shadow patterns. Well seen! Aug 2nd
