71 Jul 17 Comment Thanks Trinda. Cuba is wonderful for photography. Travel was also restricted when I went in 2015 and 2016 but I was part of a tour group that had authorizations needed. My first tour was with Colette tours and very ed. The second tour a year later was very relaxed. We could stick to the tour schedule or hire a cab (from the 50's) and go where we wanted. Both were great! Jul 31st
71 Jul 17 Comment This is a very nice composition! The mountains look like they are "right there" and there is good clarity throughout. The people add interest to the shot. I like seeing the tops of the mountains even though the sky is gray. You could add more contrast to the mountains but I think it should be subtle. I'm guessing the mountains are further away than they appear so I think they should be a little hazy. Jul 19th
71 Jul 17 Comment This photo is exciting to me as I am headed to the Palouse tomorrow for a photo workshop! I hope I can do as well as you did. I understand you used a long lens to compress the undulating hills. I personally don't mind the very bright areas in the photo. I like the dramatic contrast of light and dark and also the various shades of green. I don't mind the strip of brown or think it detracts - just my opinion.

71 Jul 17 Comment I like this composition a lot but I feel it just needs a little more oomph to make it more interesting. I tried taking the photo into Topaz Adjust to make some subtle changes in tonality, saturation, and detail. Jul 19th
71 Jul 17 Comment Stunning image! Very nice work with HDR. It is not at all obvious HDR was used. I like the pop of yellow color at the upper left and the treatment of the water is perfect! I understand the challenge of using a wide angle lens and trying to correct the distortions, but I believe you did the best you could do to get the entire waterfall in a single image.

Congratulations on having an image selected for the Digital Showcase!

71 Jul 17 Comment This is a beautiful scene with the beautiful colors and interesting details. I find there are several points of interest but no one place where my eye comes to a rest as the subject of the photo. I believe there could have been a smaller composition in this scene that would emphasize a part of the overall scene and make a stronger photograph. I was most interested in the habitations and horses in the scene. Here is a suggested crop. Jul 19th
71 Jul 17 Comment Thanks for the comments. I agree Marla and Hassan that a different perspective could have been more effective.

71 Jul 17 Comment Thanks for your thoughtful comments. I agree the story I projected on the couple here would have been better if there was something other than the weathered pier to show this was Cuba. I did assume this was a Cuban couple since we stumbled into this non-tourist area and the people around us all seemed to be Cuban. I liked that they were gazing to the North across the Havana Straits toward the US. But you are right - the photo should tell the story without needing a narrative.
