12 Mar 21 Reply This is nowhere near a competition image, but it is fun. Mar 26th
12 Mar 21 Reply This photo was taken from the kitchen window, about 4 feet off the ground. That's how high the snow piled up after plowing. Mar 26th
12 Mar 21 Comment What a beautiful 'real' abstract. There probably dozens of compositions in a few square yards of waterfall. Your exposure and focus are excellent. This would probably also make a good texture for layering with other photos. Mar 12th
12 Mar 21 Comment Kudos on trying the frozen flower technique. This is something that is worthy of further exploration. Arranging the flowers must be a bit difficult, as they would tend to float around a bit. The final composition might not be under your control. What about depth of field? Were you able to keep blossoms and ice crystals in focus? Did you use real flowers? Would artificial flowers work as well? You have inspired me to try this. Mar 12th
12 Mar 21 Comment Since roses tend to grow upwards, one would expect the snow to be on the petals rather than the stem. But in the large picture the snow seems to be gently cradling the delicate blossom. I find that very appealing. The original picture has competition between the blobs of snow. I really like just the rose much better. Good exposure and focus. Nice texture on both the petals and the snow. Mar 12th
12 Mar 21 Comment Ah, yes. We must always remember that the camera sees, we perceive. We also have selective vision. Actually this is quite a good picture of icicles. They really are difficult to photograph. The diagonal lines of the siding compliment the verticals of the icicles. The siding also gives some scale to the image. The soft tones are pleasing, belying the actual danger of standing under them. Ally, you made me curious about B&W. What do you think? Mar 12th

77 Mar 21 Comment In spite of irises being flamboyantly colored and shaped almost like a fantasy flower, these small purple irises always seem to be pure simplicity. Your single blossom in the grass shows that simplicity perfectly. Your exposure is perfect; the blossom is in the top right per rule-of-thirds. I was tempted to say the blossom is too small in the frame. But this gives the viewer a sense of place - much more than a close-up shot of the same flower. Mar 14th
77 Mar 21 Comment I love it, even more than my swirly images. Okay, so much for the post-processing: How big was the bubble? What is it - water soap, gylcerin? How did you manage to place it on the bowl? How did you ever figure out how to set up the lights ahead of time? Mar 14th
77 Mar 21 Reply Yes, a stem for the sunflower might be good. Here is another swirly image. In this case the background and the single tulip came from the same original. There seems to be no end to the combinations and permutations of this technique. Mar 12th
77 Mar 21 Comment I think I prefer the B&W. To my eye, the toning on the finished image doesn't really add much. Nut that is personal preference. As to noise: we have so many tools to reduce noise, and then add a noisy texture to an image. Am I missing something here? The noise seems very appropriate in this image. Mar 12th
77 Mar 21 Comment This looks like a ballet of blossoms. So many tiny perfections here: the stamens on the left are silhouetted against the bright petals, the stamens on the right are in a perfect spotlighted area, the backlight makes the whole subject seem to glow from within. This is more than lovely. Mar 12th
77 Mar 21 Comment You always have so much to teach us. I'm going to copy your original and give it a try, step-by-step. As to the fly, it changes the whole image. Without the fly, it is a lovely lotus blossom. With the fly it becomes important to the world around it - a resting place, a safe haven from the frogs in the pond. Witta, you placed it beautifully on the wall. Mar 12th
