37 Mar 22 Reply Thank you, Howard. Do you know how to deal with wisps of hair on a background? Mar 23rd
37 Mar 22 Reply Thank you, Subhash. I'd like to do more portraits but need to learn how to deal with wisps of hair on a background. Mar 23rd
37 Mar 22 Reply Thank you, Peter. It was fun. Mar 23rd
37 Mar 22 Reply Thank you, Peter. I was glad to have an opportunity to photograph her.
Mar 23rd
37 Mar 22 Reply Ham, I truly appreciate the consideration you give each picture and the phrasing of your comments. Last month's "Euclid, geometers, and fractals" was above and beyond. Mar 23rd
37 Mar 22 Comment Yes, with your crop and B&W treatment, he looks intent, grizzled. Quite different than the colored version. Mar 23rd
37 Mar 22 Comment I like the contrast of the non-color of the crab traps, sand, shadows, and ropes with the bright colors of the boys. Well seen. (It's obvious from the sand that you didn't rearrange them.) Well captured with just enough vignette to keep the eye within the frame to study the complex image. Mar 23rd
37 Mar 22 Comment I like the complementary colors, and the way the "fuzz" on the flower echos the bee's. A good memento of your "cropped" vacation. Mar 23rd
37 Mar 22 Comment Peter, you were in my neighborhood! I hope you had a good vacation. The Wharf is a favorite tourist stop; a good travel photo. Altho this does have an old timey feeling, my husband and I don't recall tables outside before Covid. May be wrong; we haven't been there in a while. I agree that the B&W is a good choice and also would crop the top. Mar 23rd
37 Mar 22 Comment Subhash, I don't believe I've ever seen/heard of this bird. Your very narrow depth of field and bokeh is unique, focusing us its head and insect. I don't know that f5.6 would give you this effect. Was it achieved in your post processing? Well done. Mar 23rd
37 Mar 22 Comment My first though on seeing the photo was "palouse." The hills, the tracks, and the single barn are so typical. But I've never seen this one with its symmetrical windows plus minute and second hands! 12:25. I like the clean composition and the broad swaths of clear colors. I would crop off some of the sky. Well seen. Mar 23rd

64 Mar 22 Comment The beautiful lighting and detail down to the texture of the shirt make this a winner. I've never looked closely at a sax. Are the flower and writing at the top and the details at the bottom unusual? I agree with darkening the hand. I thought the music stand was a distraction, but it does add to the story, so darkening it, too, helps. I think you captured just enough of the instrument, its graceful curve, to make a successful composition. Mar 26th
64 Mar 22 Reply Stuart, there were curved lines of different greys in the sky. Aberrations? (If I'd left them, the sky definitely would have been less bland.) I chose one shade and painted it over the entire selected sky. The boundary line is due to my faulty selection. Mar 24th
64 Mar 22 Comment I like the echoing pattern of the grasses, and especially the separated ones, white against black. Elegant and fine, almost filigree. Well seen, well captured. Mar 24th
64 Mar 22 Comment Beautiful falls, interesting as a B & W conversion. The wall on the right has a matching flow. Love the beautiful colors of the "original." Mar 24th
64 Mar 22 Comment Good capture of a handsome specimen in a regal pose. Good detail on the sheep and the background. I like Oliver's version, the contrast separating the animal from his background. Mar 23rd
64 Mar 22 Comment I think the white grasses add depth to the silhouette. Would have deleted the top foliage on the left. Yes the dragonflies add to the story and you taught me something: females have hair atop their heads rather than bone. Will research whether that is also the case with American bison. Mar 23rd
64 Mar 22 Reply Jerry, the reason you don't recognize it that it's probably Zion rather than Bryce.
Sorry everybody.		 Mar 12th
