Hi Marcela, Thanks for your comments. To get the background dark I exposed for the highlights in the Black Cohosh & then further underexposed by 1.7 EV...Because I was using the Z6 mirrorless camera I was able to see what the image would actually look like before I took the picture. Also, in Photoshop I used the sliders in Camera Raw to darken the shadows a bit more & to darken the blacks. `Hope this helps!. |

Hi John,
I think this is a terrific attempt on a difficult subject-it is very creative!. I like the play of light on the background The wavy-ness of the patterned glass however can make it difficult to get everything in sharp focus.
A few thoughts for the future: 1. perhaps try `focus stacking'-to enhance sharpness; 2.perhaps lay the jar horizontally so the buttons are spread more evenly on the bottom of the jar.3.or simply focus on the shadows cast by the jar & move the jar itself out of the picture...it might make for an interesting black & white image! |

Hi Harriet, A very creative photograph! I like the exposure and color balance. Perhaps one thing to consider is cropping up on the flower pot to almost the beginning of the chin...this may add impact. |

Hi Stan,
This is a wonderful environmental portrait. I like the positioning of the subject relative to the water and I like the expression on her face and the dog also adds a nice touch. I also like the way the lighter part of the water serves as a background for the subject's head--it makes it `pop'. A couple of things to consider: 1. perhaps cropping out the pole to the right of the subject's right arm;2.If you do additional photos of Mary perhaps asking her to fold her legs under her so her right foot isn't sticking out. |

Hi Marcela,
This is a wonderful black & white image. It is a great use of a silhouette to tell the story.You may want to consider cropping out part of the right side of the image so you come in tighter on the roofer. |

Hi Carroll, This is a neat image! It really gives one the sense of the police car chasing someone down.The exposure & lighting are, I think, just right....You may want to consider cropping out the upper left part of the image since the brightness may draw the viewer away from the main subject. |

Hi Ann,
I like what you are aiming to do in this image--give a sense of summer `steaminess'. I also like the use of the partial `S' curve to draw the viewer into the image. The exposure is good especially the backlighting on the tree with the sun peeking through.In order to draw the viewer more to the water and the beginning of the fence you may want to consider cropping out the bottom part of the image below the 2nd tree.
