37 Aug 22 Comment This is spectacular, Ham. I agree with all that was already said. The HDR is excellent, not too much as is often the case. (Time for me to move beyond Silver Efex Pro, all I've ever used of the NIK suite.) Aug 23rd
37 Aug 22 Comment Fierce indeed. I think I would have moved aside with this fellow charging at me. Glad you had a long lens. You didn't flinch and captured him well. Aug 8th
37 Aug 22 Comment Excellent detail on the eye and feathers especially compared to the softness of the reeds at this distance. While cropping, I would have left a bit more space at the bottom. An interesting fellow, well captured and well processed. I like the mirrored shapes at the water line. Aug 8th

64 Aug 22 Comment Congratulations, Stan, on your waterfall in the PSA Journal. Aug 29th
64 Aug 22 Comment I didn't realize that in mono conversion you can change blue to most any shade of grey that you want. What are you using to convert to mono? I rather like my eye skipping from black rock to black rocks to black sky, which sets off the clouds and creates a nice frame at the top. We missed Ecola Park when we went to Cannon Beach and will want to see it and Old Tilly if we return. Aug 23rd
64 Aug 22 Comment Chris, I don't know backside fling. I just know that that wave looks frightening to me, and apparently to the surfer. You kept all the detail in the water, and the crop is good. However, I prefer the color version or, if monotone, high contrast as in last month's outstanding image. Aug 23rd
64 Aug 22 Comment I find the leaves and branches in the top 2/3 of the image, and especially the top right corner, more interesting than the hole. Aug 8th
64 Aug 22 Comment Yes, mono! I love that you've captured the detail of the deep carving and even the grain of the wood. Don't know that many would have seen this composition. f6.3 was a good choice to keep the focus on the balusters. Hand held at 1/10 sec? Amazing! Was your camera resting on something or literally "hand held?" Aug 8th
64 Aug 22 Comment My kind of building! What a find! You captured the varied textures. The darkened tree behind sets if off well, and I agree that the cloud might be toned down. Aug 8th
64 Aug 22 Comment This is wonderful, John. What marvelous '30s art. I've never really looked at the Rockefeller Center in the many times I've visited NYC. You've prompted me to do so next time, and also to research Noguchi who I now realize did far more than the mid century furniture I knew. Thank you for your description of the plaque. The light reflecting from the steel molds the sculpture in both your versions. Tho I prefer the greater drama of the original. I don't know whether the metal always shines that much or whether you were there a the right time of day. I like the composition as is. Aug 7th
64 Aug 22 Reply Got it, Stuart. ( Deive analogy.) Three times I've written "descriptive," and the computer keeps changing it to "delve." What I'm trying to say that I understand your objection. Aug 7th
