31 Feb 22 Reply Thanks Ian Feb 16th
31 Feb 22 Reply Thanks Peter. Feb 15th
31 Feb 22 Comment Let me add that I admire your chouse of image elements. Feb 13th
31 Feb 22 Comment Ella, not aware of your medical situation, however I sincerely hope all ends well for you. regarding your still life, wonderful. I love the texture. I think your light painting method may yield a more interesting image than my more traditional lighting approach. Feb 13th
31 Feb 22 Comment Paul, wonderful capture of a moment in time. I might crop in from both the left and right to bring more attention on the boys. Perhaps a little crop on the right and more on the left. Good timing. Feb 13th
31 Feb 22 Comment Hello Nick. I can feel the fog. Congrats. If this were my image, and were it possible, I probably would have tried to bring just a little detail into the black areas, perhaps zone 3 detail. Just my opinion, not a criticism: My Calif. West coast Ansel Adams influence. Even zone three detail would not impact the nice compositional oppositional structure of light vs dark. Nice image. Feb 13th
31 Feb 22 Comment Ian, beautiful image! I don't know what else to say. Feb 13th
31 Feb 22 Comment Peter, as always, I have no criticism of your image. I wouldn't know how or what to improve, so I am fine with your result. As an observation there is an "other worldliness" about the image with the lighting. That appeals to me. Feb 13th
31 Feb 22 Comment Hello John. I like your approach to minimalism. I agree with the others about cropping grass. However, keeping with the theme and subject matter selection, I would like to see motion in the grass. I think that would bring the minimalism of this image alive. With motion I would not crop the grass. Feb 13th
31 Feb 22 Reply Hello Nick. The graphic effect was intentional. However, I'm not sure whether it is successful. I liked the transition from a photograph to an impression, or interpretation, seeking a unique way to show an iconic subject. This mill has been photographed thousands of times. Certain subjects appeal to me more in graphic, sketch like form, than as a more traditional B&W photo. Thanks for your comments. Feb 13th
31 Feb 22 Reply Hello Ella. Thanks for going through the effort to make some suggestions. I like what you have done. The sketch like appearance was intentional to create a different image from just a photograph, an impression. I'm still curious about how successful this technique is in attracting people's attention or providing a pleasing image. Feb 13th
