4 Jul 24 Reply Vella, that was a very good and useful explanation. Thanks for explaining to me exactly what they're doing. With the joint replacement information I have a better appreciation for what they are going through. Thanks so much! Jul 11th
4 Jul 24 Comment Guy, I really like the complementary colors in the Picture as well as the shallow depth of field, which makes the flower stand out against the soft background. Both very good strengths in my opinion. Looking closely at the pedals, for my taste, I would sharpen some more. I know that you use ON1 so I would suggest perhaps boosting the dynamic contrast of just the flower petals. To my eye, this would bring out the edges of each pedal as well as some of the striations within each. Thanks for sharing. Jul 9th
4 Jul 24 Reply Ian, sorry to hear about your back. That can be among the hardest problems to deal with so I hope you're healing quickly.

I go to the YMCA frequently to lift weights so I may try to time it again with that class. I think it might be interesting to get one with no empty seats if I can. Take care. 		Jul 9th
4 Jul 24 Comment Erik, this is a very compelling nature shot. I love to see the interaction of the parent with the chicks, but would always draw my eye is the looks on the chicks faces. You have captured that perfectly. From your experience can three of these chicks survive to fledging from the nest? Can the parents feed three of them successfully? Thanks for sharing. Jul 8th
4 Jul 24 Reply Very interesting observations Guy. I will have to take a much closer look. Jul 8th
4 Jul 24 Comment Ian, nice capture. For me all of the spray behind the boat really helps make the picture. It just says there's speed there. The colors work well to make for a pleasing shot. These races are always fun. It looks like you got into a good place for a great picture. I would love to have been there with you. Jul 7th
4 Jul 24 Comment Bill, I like the monochrome here as it really makes white sink stand out. To my eye the vertical lines of the bars on the windows also help lead my eye to the sink. Your post work seems to have nicely covered the tonal range. Well done! Jul 7th
4 Jul 24 Reply Yes I think that helps. Good job! Jul 5th
4 Jul 24 Reply It just takes a little patience. There were once two palm trees in front of this building. I removed them one palm frond at a time. Jul 5th
4 Jul 24 Comment Isaac, I think you choose great settings to absolutely stop the image. When I first looked at the image I thought they were posing. But when I looked closer and saw the beads of sweat flying through the air I knew that it was true boxing. For 4500 ISO you also did a great job with the deNoise. Nicely done. Jul 3rd
4 Jul 24 Comment Vella, In addition to Isaac's comments I would add that if you were to use this in a PSA Monochrome exhibition I would suggest diligently removing the grasses in from of the zebras. To me that would present a very appealing Monochrome image. Jul 3rd
4 Jul 24 Comment Thanks Isaac. Do you think this qualifies as PJ? Jul 2nd
