37 Mar 23 Reply We have the white ones here in N CA. Mar 31st
37 Mar 23 Reply Thank you for your comments, Richarda. I cannot see a difference between the "Original" and the other either. I think the same image was actually posted twice. Mar 25th
37 Mar 23 Reply You're right, Howard. I misunderstood what the instructor meant by a "floral abstract." Subsequently, I used various filters including Polar Coordinates to play with the closeup and came up with this:

37 Mar 23 Reply I love the thought of a dress unfurling. I didn't see that myself. Mar 25th
37 Mar 23 Comment Beautiful! You certainly captured this bird-in-flight. The the detail of the whole thing feathers, eye, and against the dark background softened by your shallow D of F, all excellent. Yes, thank you for sharing.

37 Mar 23 Comment Welcome to get group, Richarda. I don't think I've ever seen a brown pelican, and I like your capture of his position in taking off. Good detail in the feathers. I'd like to see a bit more of his face and eye. Mar 25th
37 Mar 23 Comment Beautiful capture, LeeAnn. I like the meander of the lake to the right. Leaving that but darkening the foreground might could be another solution for dealing with all the green. Looking at the heavy dark cloud to the left gives great depth to the image Mar 25th
37 Mar 23 Comment Charming little bird captured with good detail in the white feathers. I agree that adding a catch light and elimilnating the dark stripe would enhance your image. Mar 25th

64 Mar 23 Reply Thanks,Don. See my comment to Jerry. Jeanne Gang's work is amazing. Mar 27th
64 Mar 23 Reply Thank you, Jerry. You might enjoy finding Jeanne Gang's other unusual buildings. Mar 27th
64 Mar 23 Reply Thank you, John. Mar 27th
64 Mar 23 Reply Thank you, Chris. I'm now leaning toward your viewpoint on dodging the top. Mar 27th
64 Mar 23 Comment It's all been said. I, too, like the composition with the figures on the left and the seating on the right framing, or bringing the eye onto the image. The only distortion I see might be with the top of the tower. Cannot see the pixilation on my laptop, but the white halo is evident. What I particularly like is the muted tone which seems to suit the subject, so I would not add contrast to this beautiful scene. Mar 27th
64 Mar 23 Comment Jerry, I prefer the double span. It's lack of contrast reminds me of a vintage image, calling for sepia toning. Mar 27th
64 Mar 23 Comment Altho this image is stark and possibly quite frightening, the diagonal reflections and shadows on the water caused by the backlighting are unusual, and l like it Mar 26th
64 Mar 23 Comment Below the eyes, I see other animals. They change as I look longer, which is what we want from our images. It is frightening, with its stark darkness and the leg bones separating the figures. Perhaps a Halloween image. Mar 26th
64 Mar 23 Comment It's all been said. I agree that, surprisingly, the mono version is more interesting than the original. The delicacy of the outer petals and the fringe of the center as well as the three dimensionality created by the shadows make this outstanding. Mar 26th
64 Mar 23 Reply Yes, definitely better without the "cloud" behind the rock. Congratulations on your beautiful flowers in the Members' Showcase. Mar 26th
64 Mar 23 Comment The monochrome conversion is successful creating a dramatic, dark and rather foreboding scene. The path leading up to the unusual rock is essential. I assume that's a cloud behind the rock rather than a result of your processing. Mar 8th
64 Mar 23 Reply Thank you, Stuart. Good observation. I'll try dodging it. Mar 8th
