Bill, when my wife saw me download this while we were having coffee together she was immediately impressed. What attracts my eye is the combination of your decisions in Capture and in Post work. To me the way the different structures tilt, whether real or done by the lens, creates interest. I feel the decision you made to yield the softer flow of the water is also appealing. I believe the sky contrast with the clouds adds another good layer. I agree with Isaac that being back further a bit, if possible, and as a result getting space above the tallest tower, would further add to the image. Great work from your armchair. (BTW - typed this from a Gate Area seat at Baltimore airport. Not quite as nice as your armchair! Lol) |

Vella, the idea (as you know from my previous submission) is a good idea. Like the others I feel that Isaac has helped the image by lightening the shadows. From my experience the light which was my "friend" at sunrise is your "enemy" in this picture.
While more detail is available there isn't, to my eye, enough tonal contrast between the water, the sky and the bridge at this late hour. I think the terminology the experts would use is "too much neutral area." Do you have any images taken earlier on the cruise where there was more light available to get tonal contrasts? Perhaps something during the "blue" hour? |

Guy, I did not decide on the colors. After doing a full color scan on the B&W image, the Neuro filters in PS2024 made the selection. And yes my Grandmother is in the left in the red dress. No one seems to know who the other young woman might be. |

Ian, to my eye, the colors of this image are very pleasing. As others have said, the softness of the leaves results for me in that very relaxing feeling. To me, though there is no place for the eye to fixate, I continually wander around the image. You have done so many creative images that I'm wondering if perhaps this image would make a very interesting background for another nature image. Just a thought.
All the best. |

The first question I have is, is this a distance shot of an arena, or a close-up shot of a bikers helmet. Lol
Guy, I really like the idea of a Monochrome Image here. Shape dominates the image in my mind. And for me like any good monochrome image when you first look at it, it takes you a second to figure out exactly what it is. I am pretty sure you are not competing anymore, but if you were the only adjustments, I might suggest are to remove a few of the bright spots. Very Nice! |

Erik, as Isaac said this is a very sharp image. I have the exact same picture taken from the same spot. The whites of the house, the reds of the "outhouse" and roof and the green of the grass give this a nice set of complementary colors.
Next year we are celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary (God willing) in Maine. I intend to retake this photo with two key differences. I will shoot from further back to capture the rocks around the location where you and I both stood. And I will shoot during the Golden or blue hours, probably evening.
Thanks for sharing. |

Isaac, I really like this image. It tells a great story. I envision the 18th century. The image to my eye is sharp and the colors are crisp and very natural. I am glad that the three amigos had such a good time at the festival. If you are a Florida Camera Club council member you should consider entering this in their "Documentary" competition. Well Done! |
