I like that picture enough that, if it were mine, I'd make a print and put it up in the house. But of course we are all different! |

Here it is but on first glance I feel I like the unbalanced one better. |

PS You could also duplicate the right side of the roof in Photoshop, flip it over and replace the left half to have perfect symmetry in the top of the image. Just a thought. |

Guy, please forgive me but while I found the chosen image interesting - especially for the disqualified tunes - I found to "Original" image to be absolutely marvelous.
To my eye that image could easily get an acceptance (if you are still doing them) in a PSA exhibition. To my eye the architecture is fabulous. The colors of each door add to the story. I believe that the lines in the ceiling and the two stairways lead the viewer's eyes into the center of the image and holds them there.
In the VF I pulled the image to vertical sides, cropped out some of the noise at the bottom and centered it as best I could. This is what I got. I absolutely love this image. Thanks for sharing. |

Ian, for me the strengths of this image are the sharpness, the color and the contrast between the texture on the bark of the Sequoia and the delicate green petals of the fern. To me even the browned petals on the right add to the story of nature that this image tells. To my eye the image may have a bit more of the tree and moss that is required. I changed the format to 3 x 4 and bumped the contrast bait in the VF. |

Guy, I finally got a chance to look at your improved version on the big screen. You did a great job. Thanks for "post" lesson for On1. May try it myself just to embed the technique you have used. Thanks again. |

Isaac, for me this image brings back many memories. I came out of college as the war in Vietnam was winding down. I joined Kodak and worked with three different "Huey" pilots who had seen duty in Vietnam. As I look back now it is pretty obvious that at least one had significant PTSD issues. This helicopter was certainly an infantry "workhorse." But it had one major flaw - it projected most of its sound out ahead of its flight path. The results of this were often devastating to the crew and the people they were carrying. The people who served in the Huey's were brave men and women. Thanks for sharing this piece of history. |

Vella, to my eye one strength of this image is that you have a good foreground, mid-ground and background. I feel that they are well proportioned with the way you have cropped. I think that the exposure and the DoF are well done as well.
Perhaps the background - the last range of hills and the sky could be strengthened a bit by adding some dynamic contrast. For me the foreground could use just a touch more saturation. |

Bill, this is an absolutely beautiful image. To my eye you have done a perfect job in both capture and post-processing. It seems to me that you have encompassed nearly the entire spectrum of colors in this landscape. I feel that the dead tree in the foreground nicely leads the viewer's eye into the heart of the image - the mesas - where it is held. Great job! |

Erik, to me this image is partly about the the shapes and colors and partly about the detailed craftsmanship that went into each and every one of the old autos that were hand built.
I think that you did an excellent job with the sharpness and depth of field for the image. To me the colors are brilliant, saturated but yet realistic. To my eye the image would hold the viewer's eye a bit better if the "fender" on the right was wholly in the image.
If you have a chance sometime to get down to Naples visit the "Revs Institute" set up by the Collier brothers. It has the history of open-wheel and closed-wheel racing from the start of the 20th century til today. All in magnificently restored cares. |
