Thank you, Peter and Peter. My experience so far is that judges aren't crazy about the "abandoned" images. So I'll turn them into a slide show to share with club members at our annual (first time since Covid) slides-to-music social evening. |

Just read your bio. Seems you told us of your interest in rugby from the outset. |

You have successfully captured a wonderful moment. The front monkey is certainly enjoying his grooming and the hot spring. Yes, blissful. |

Foraging? Do they eat moss or insects, which it would find on this tree, in addition to acorns? |

A wonderful sports/action shot, Peter. I like the mud and power and the mass of the players, enhanced as your long lens telescoped them. The varied expressions are priceless, encouraging me to study each one. I like Howard's enhancements.
I've never seen rugby and didn't realize it was played here in the states. Thought this was British, but I assume Wilmington is DE. Binghamton seems to be a college, yet the men are older than that. Curious. In any case, the grab and hold is so different than the violent clashes of American football. |

Bob, I especially like the way the beautiful wave patterns echo the mountains tying the image together. |

Thanks, Bob, for your detailed analysis on the lines of vision on my photo. I've never studied my images that way and see it now that you point it out. I agree about the vegetation on the left and intend to clone it out. |

Thanks, Howard. It was terrific fun, tho my non-photographer friends don't understand why I would travel that distance to photograph junk. |

Moving to the right would have been good, perhaps revealing more broken screen. I liked the muted monochrome coloring. Looks old and dingy.
My husband put himself thru college as a reporter and photographer on the Wisconsin State Journal. After we married, I ask him why we were lugging an enlarger from city to city. Thus began our B&W darkroom and my photography hobby.
Jim is terrific. What workshops did you do with him? We'd like to join another. |

Another of your excellent bird portraits, Howard. Good detail on his feathers, beak and feet and even on the moss/lichen. Foraging? Do they eat moss or insects which it would find on this tree in addition to acorns? The green bokeh makes a good, contrasting background, perhaps toned down a bit on the left and bottom edges. |

This is an excellent capture, Ricarda. The shallow depth of field doesn't bother me because you have the focus where you need it, on his eyes. 22mm! How close was this handsome beast with its elegant bearing? Were you the anticipated snack? The green background is a good foil for its orangish coloring. Except for the wires this could be in the wild. |

For a grab shot from a moving bus with no setting adjustments, this is amazing.
Good detail. The bright colors and the flowers, especially the bit on his cheek make make the entire scene look unreal, like an image from a movie or a book. My husband thought it was a composite. Well done, Lee Ann! |

Well seen, Chris. I stayed with this image, enjoying finding the similarities and differences of various buildings. |

I like your composition. Nice and sharp from the rocks and grasses and lone cactus in the foreground to the textured boulders behind. These smart phone cameras are wonderful! When I got to my March workshop and realized that my Sony wasn't functioning and would take weeks to repair, I was happy to have my new iPhone 14 pro. Used it successfully for the entire workshop. |

I've nothing to add to the conversation about your capture of this regal looking bird. |

The bird is nice and sharp. I like the reflections of his habitat. It's obvious from the title that you want to include the shoreline, but I would crop some and/or darken it a bit, as I do think it distracts from the bird. |

Well seen, that you noticed the potential in an object most would have just passed by. At first it seemed a rather sad story. Nobody wanted the trophies, just as my children will have no use for my good dinnerware. But with the addition of reuse comments , and especially Don's, the story becomes hopeful. |

BTW, I didn't appreciate the three-dimensionality until you mentioned it. Thanks. |

Thank you, Jerry. It's not mirrored but the actual structure of the Lyon Saint Exupery airport railroad station. Many more similar images of the building on line. The entire building looks like a bird in flight as many of Calatrava's structures do. (See, too, the Milwaukee Art Museum.) |

Stuart, I definitely prefer the posterized result on this small, isolated subject compared to your previous landscape. (Perhaps just the rock formation instead of its entire setting.) The metal's texture and frost are emphasized by the posterization, and I like that you completely eliminated any intermediate levels of grey. I've never posterized so have spent the evening trying it on my B&W images. As far as I can tell, Photoshop, which is all I have, doesn't do the total contrast you achieved with Affinity. |
