5 Mar 25 Reply Thank you, Tom! I felt honored to be there, and, at the same time, I felt that it should have been a private moment for the man. Mar 19th
5 Mar 25 Comment Such a fascinating image. It really tells a story about that area of Colorado. As I looked at your photograph, I wondered what it might be like as a monochrome. So, off to Camera Raw to see what I could do. Your thoughts?

5 Mar 25 Comment Such a fun photograph! I love the delighted faces of the boys. Mark's suggestion would be worth trying. I also suggest desaturating the green a bit.

5 Mar 25 Comment Richard, it was very emotional for me to watch this man. The moment meant a great deal to him.

I hadn't noticed the conflicting Marine vs. Army clothing. Interesting question!

5 Mar 25 Comment Mark, this is exceptional and would easily take first place in most competitions! Your post-processing was excellent. The soft colors in the water make it appear that the heron is running toward the light, and it looks completely natural. My only recommendation echos Richard's comment. "Print it and hang it on the wall!"

5 Mar 25 Comment Keisha, it's a fascinating and frightening image! I love photographs that evoke an emotion in the viewer, even if the emotion is fear. The sharpness of the snake's eye is excellent. I am curious about the relative blurriness of the snake's scales at the bottom/right of the image. It seems roughly the same distance from the camera as the sharper portions on each side.

Well done!

62 Mar 25 Comment Chris, I found it difficult to resist playing with your wonderful image. It has so many different possibilities, especially the monochrome version! Here's what I came up with. Your thoughts?

62 Mar 25 Comment Emil, I love this. It's not a "typical" image, but it works! The textures, lines, and outstanding tones make it a natural for monochrome. Very well done!

62 Mar 25 Comment Mike, like Chris, I played with your image in Camera Raw. I wanted to see if I could make the fascinating tree serve as both a focal point and a frame for the ocean scene. My first attempt was a total failure. All I did was mess up your excellent photograph. So, I tried again, this time modifying the lighting. Your thoughts?

62 Mar 25 Reply Mike, very cool. THANK YOU! I will definitely explore some of the YouTube videos about the process. My approach was to darken the entire image and then use two linear masks in Camera Raw to focus the lighting where I wanted it.

62 Mar 25 Comment Mark, an interesting scene. However, there is so much going on that I can't decide where to look. With that in mind, I decided to see if I could make the young man facing the camera the focal point. After increasing the image size (it's best to have a vertical size of about 750 pixels), I used Camera Raw to modify the lighting. Did I lose the feeling that you wanted the image to convey?

62 Mar 25 Reply Emil, those are high compliments from you. Thank you! Mar 5th
62 Mar 25 Comment Adrian, somehow you see wonderful images where mere mortals wouldn't. I'm terribly impressed. This photograph is captivating. The idea of photographing the back of the woman and bringing the viewer's attention to her hat is brilliant.

I couldn't help playing with the original. Typically, my images don't have the intense contrast that yours exhibit. With that in mind, here's what I came up with. It's really a completely different image. Thoughts??
