1 May 21 Comment This is beautiful Neal! I agree that the front segment is a bit soft, but your version without Bev's smudge is reminiscent of the Dutch floral paintings. This makes me want to get out my black velvet and try some still lives. What a wonderful project that would have been for the past thirteen months! May 4th

34 May 21 Comment Steve, your image is, as always, masterfully conceived and rendered. But the patience to create a trawler out of matchsticks is beyond the pale. May 28th

37 May 21 Comment Wonderful detail on the subject! As Ham said, who knew? I doubt that your neighbors would object to your cutting down the soft dandelion on the right which obscures your subject. May 23rd
37 May 21 Comment I seek out old buildings, and you have definitely found one. I agree with straightening and extra space all around, if possible. Would suggest you come back another time of day without the mottling shadows on the left. May 23rd
37 May 21 Comment Wonderful capture! I agree with giving them more space in front. May 23rd
37 May 21 Reply ??? May 17th
37 May 21 Reply They got switched. The original is actually the one with the bright sun spots which I tried, not very successfully, to tone down in what I intended to be my May image. My question was about that issue. May 7th
37 May 21 Reply No I hadn't tried B&W. Thank you for the suggestion. May 5th
37 May 21 Comment A very sweet picture. The bird's pose is charming. Catchlight, reflection, ripples, with bird well positioned in the frame. All well done. May 4th
37 May 21 Comment Howard, I never imagined such a colorful bird! So sharp. . . feathers and catch light. Love the water droplets of this decisive moment. Congratulations! I'm surprised the background is soft at f/8. Is that b/c the 400mm makes it seem closer? Cutsie title. May 4th

64 May 21 Comment I like the landscape with the wispy clouds contacted with the solid, shadow sculpted rocks. I'd like to see the jeep pink, in situ , either in the original, color image or with the rest of the scene B&W. May 28th
64 May 21 Reply I meant the butte is naturally sloping as evidenced by the rest of the image being level. A road trip sounds like fun about now. May 28th
64 May 21 Comment I, too, thought the butte was sloping, which in fact it is, while your horizon on the right isn't. The sepia toning and border add a pleasant old time-y feel which the color version lacks. I like your capture of the falling rain. May 27th
64 May 21 Comment I, too, like the mules, your subject. I like the remaining people on the right after cropping out the signpost. I think their presence supports it's being a small town holiday parade. May 27th
64 May 21 Reply Thank you all. John, b/4 entering it at my club, I'll try to make it "sing." May 13th
64 May 21 Reply Thank you, Stuart. You'll have me paying more attention to my histograms. May 7th
64 May 21 Comment The white tree is unusual with limbs so close to the ground and seeming to imprison the ice house within its maze of branches. Perhaps Hansel and Gretel are inside. Cropping from the sides would strengthen that effect. But as is, it does look isolated. May 4th
64 May 21 Comment What an amazing project to try to save the elephants. Such detailed, clever work, times 30! I like your image. Is that considered a macro? You've certainly created an abstract with a full range of tones, unidentifiable, had you not told us. May 4th
64 May 21 Comment What a beautiful blossom. You really captured the interesting detail within, which I'd never noticed before. How lucky you are to have a dogwood tree. Altho my iPhone 11 has a setting, portrait, which creates a soft background, I didn't realize the 6 did that. I prefer the colored version. May 4th
