19 Jul 24 Comment Thanks for all the helpful comments-much appreciated.
Stan,yes I was using a PL & a 6 stop ND filter combined-I needed that to capture the swirls. The time of day was about 8am on a cloudy morning. I'll take a look at why the image seems a bit soft. I'm glad you pointed this out

19 Jul 24 Comment HI Adi,
I think this is a terrific image and shows a great use of both selective focus and slow shutter speed. When I see the sheep in focus it's almost as if they are asking `You want ME to squeeze in THERE?). Well done!

19 Jul 24 Comment Hi Jay,
A wonderful country fair image. I like the vibrant color and that you `caught' the flame stick mid air. My only suggestion is to see what the image looks like if the `Circus ' sign was cropped out...alternatively from a photojournalism perspective you might want to leave the sign in and crop from the left to further emphasize Dexter & the sign.

19 Jul 24 Comment Hi Mel,
I think this is a unique and thought provoking image. if I didn't know this was your son I might ask `why the focus on this fellow? what makes him special?' The depth of field fall off on the rest of the graduates is a great technique to emphasize the subject--pretty amazing you were able to get him that sharp at 300mm (and I assume handheld). You may want to try a variety of different crops to see which tells your story best. Well done! Norm		 Jul 7th
19 Jul 24 Comment Hi Stan,
I think this is a wonderful night seascape. You've captured the sunset just at the right time. I also like your using a fast shutter to stop the wave action--to me at least it gives a `you are there' feeling. My only suggestion would be to see how the image looks if you lighten the shadows a bit...especially at the base of both rocks.

19 Jul 24 Comment Harriet, I think this is the beginning of a great still life . I like that the tomatoes are all on the stem...giving a sense of `just harvested'. I also like the use of monochrome...it really emphasizes the shape of these tomatoes. Per Jay's comment you may want to try this with an increased depth of field--the front center tomato seems a bit `fuzzy'. Since this is a still life it should be easy enough to use a tripod and dial down the shutter speed and increase the f-stop. Also,placing the veggies on something like black velvet or some other dark non reflective surface may help the image `pop' more.

19 Jul 24 Comment Hi John,
The reflection really makes this image pop...well done. My only suggestion would be to see how the image looks if you darken the car (green color).
