Again, Jan, I love your image. Your imaginative creativity, artistic background and technical skill have again combined to create a delightful image, perhaps an illustration for a children's book. |

Thanks, All. A very lucky moment. |

Glad you entered metadata on the raft as well as your camera; very impressive result. Well captured composition as both you and the birds were in motion. |

I agree that it has an old-timey feel, but uncomfortably contrasty. I'd crop out the windows and then the body of the piano to eliminate his lower leg. Also the right portion of the piano. Then I'd reduce the contrast on all but the man and his piano. However, I realize that wouldn't be the picture you wanted. |

Wonderful, detailed shot of a bird I'd never seen. Good depth of field. I initially liked the flowers; they did draw my attention. I was going to suggest desaturating or darkening them, but really like the way the lost their distracting impact in Howard's version. |

I love the fact that you cropped the adults. Reminds me of Charles Schultz's Charlie Brown; it's a child's world, which you have conveyed. Mono was a good choice. From the image, I think the title could be "Everybody Listen to Me" or "Look at Me." But you were there and know what he was saying/doing. I'd crop off the white pants leg, darken the floral coat, and vignette the bottom. Cute capture.

Just now when I looked at my image, I saw a carpeted sky. Rather disorienting.

A fascinating, unique image, Jerry. The moodiness of the distant clouds with the overlay of falling leaves feels like two separate images, making me look near then far, some kind of switching in my brain, the same as when I look at the arrow on a FedEx truck. |

Good capture, interesting info about the car . . . and that you had one. Your panning is so successful, far beyond anything I have ever accomplished. I think reducing the contrast of the background would make it less distracting but still provide a separate backdrop.

I agree with the above re the lighting, pose and depth of field. I don't understand the white on his fur. Would think it's snow except for the flowers on the ground. Possibly frost? |

I like the original, but the mono draws me into the horizontal dark cracks and to examine the barely visible rectangular bits on the left. At first I thought the scratches were grass. They're another puzzlement. I find the partial bolts on the left and bottom more distracting. |

This striking scene was well-captured: good textural detail and the full greyscale range. Monochrome was an excellent choice. |

Fortunate to find a bride at Bridal Veil Falls. I like the texture of the fern in front. My eye moves down the falls to the fern to the people and back around. I like the power of the water from this shutter speed, but agree that a more silky effect would match the bridal story. The upper portion might have detail if seen on a screen larger than my little laptop, which shows it as rather blown out. Jerry's crop, if in sepia, would remind me of a 19th Century Andrew Bierstadt painting. |

Thanks for stopping by Stephen. Are you suggesting the negative space be black almost matching the curved area? BTW, I get up with some Levitases in Green Bay, David and Louis. But it's not that uncommon a name. |

Thanks all. I had tried it without the keystoning. Didn't use that b/c I thought the white building related better to the dark one across the negative space the way I submitted it.
Not much response to my question of whether the colored or B&W version was preferred. Last week's judge gave the former a first place in Pictorial Masters. |
