36 Mar 19 Comment Thank you for the clarification. I see your point and will try to correct it. Mar 13th
36 Mar 19 Comment Thank you for your comments, Michael. I didn't quite catch what you ment by lighter tones on the ridge lines. I have already submitted it to a European competition, so just have to see what the verdict will be. Mar 12th
36 Mar 19 Comment Nice composition with the leading line from creek. The sky didn't add to the photo, so I think you can crop it about one third. Good sharpness from foreground to background, this is the benefit of carrying a tripod. Mar 12th
36 Mar 19 Comment It is a great motive and it is well composed. I understand that you have great limitation in the dynamic range when shooting with a mobile phone, so I think you have got the best out of it under the circumstances. Mar 12th
36 Mar 19 Comment A moody and well composed image. It pays to get up in the morning. I liked the light in the window in the house which gave a balance in the picture. To me the whole picture is slightly underexposed. May be you also cold have lighten up some parts in the foreground to make it more interesting. I also think it would been improved by cropping from the top almost down to the antenna on the tower. Mar 12th
36 Mar 19 Comment I really liked the swirly patterns in the water. I think I would toned down the HDR effect in the background as it took some of the attention from the main object which is the pond. May be it could be cropped a bit at top and bottom and darkened the foreground slightly. If I shall be really picky, the green area to the right of the fountain could also been darkened a bit.

74 Mar 19 Comment Hi Alicia,
A good start in our group. I agree with Bill that it is a good winter scene, but I think there are too many details. I have made a cropped version to show what I mean. In addition, I have lightened some spots here and there to boost it up a little. What do you think?		 Mar 27th
74 Mar 19 Comment I think you have succeeded well with this picture; it has a good depth of field even if you have used a long lens and the camera position gives the leading lines and makes an order in the picture.

The shadows adds to the drama in the picture. You have also a good balance between black and white.

Well done, Pamela!		 Mar 12th
74 Mar 19 Comment I like the composition, but I agree with Pamela in darkening the foreground. There is something strange with the sky, the clouds are not as well defined in the B&W version and it seems to have some noise, even if it is shot at ISO 200. I don't know how much you have sharpened it, but that can create noise. If that is the case, masking the sharpening to 50% or so might done the trick. Mar 12th
74 Mar 19 Comment Before I comment anything else, I want to tell that I almost stepped on one of these in the dark when I was on Sri Lanka a couple of months ago.

I took a picture in about the same angle as you with mobile phone, but I regret I didn't go closer and took it from the front. I don't know how they attack, so may be it was not a good idea.

It is a great shot, sharp and with good texture, but the problem is that the plank of wood has a similar texture as the scorpion so it doesn't stand out like it should. Since moving it is not an option, I think the only way would be to mask it out and make the plank darker.		 Mar 12th
