Linda,thanks for the feedback. I like most of it! I think the whitening of the eyes is perhaps a little too much but the rest really works well. Thank you. |

Michael, I'm not so sure! Maybe you were right in the first place because now in mono the mass of stars appear as white spots which are not unlike dust spots. You probably need the colour version to make them more obviously stars. Maybe I should have kept my mouth shut! |

Thanks Michael, that's a helpful suggestion. The lighting is somewhat flat and might be improved a little with some extra processing but the idea of a darker background might also work. |

Kathleen, this is a crazy pic! I mean that in the nicest way. It certainly conveys chaos as hardly anything is vertical and you have only three quarters of the guy on the scooter. But as piece of Las Vegas life it's really interesting. The guy on the scooter just coming into the picture brings it to life whilst the people in the background are contained in their own world. The sepia effect has helped the palm trees be more delineated whereas in the colour version they tend to get hidden in the dark of the building. You'd need a very open-minded judge with a liking for avant-guard photography to place this in a comp but they do exist, so you might get lucky! |

Michael, you are probably right about how famous this tree is as I too have seen images taken by photographers in my UK camera club who have visited New Zealand. So it is good to see a different age one it. I looked at your other version on the other group and that one seems to have more stars and I think this what this version needs. Or at least they seem to be more visible in the other group version. It's good to see that you have chosen a composition which does not place the tree bang in the middle and the trunk on the left is a good lead in line to it. You might also consider a slight crop of the sky to just below the clouds on the top left as I find those pull the eye up to that corner and really you want them going straight to the tree. |

Linda, this a very unusual image in the way that the building is at complete odds with the natural landscape. The way the cross of the building bisects the rocks is very well captured. Despite it being a cloudy day, you have got some drama in the sky which helps highlight the building. For me I'd do a gentle crop off the foreground as there is rather a lot and I think the emphasis should be on the rock formations leading up to the building |

Gerard, this is an imposing building and the lighting is very attractive. I like the way the three lower windows lead up to the next two and then the bell tower. The strong shadows on the roof top also are very pleasing. The overhanging tree is perhaps an issue but I don't think you can do anything about that. My only question is how you took this. If you were on the ground then you are either exceptionally tall or have corrected all the angles very well - on the other hand, you may have been in a building at the same level opposite Snyder House. |

Barbara, I too have photographed dead hydrangea flowers as they make such good subjects. Sadly mine have long disappeared form the plant I have. I think the blend f the images has worked well producing a dramatic image although there are some petals which are particularly bright near the top right. Whilst I like what has been done to this image, as a composition I think less is more as now it is mono it tends to merge together the petal whilst the original gives some lovely delicate shades. So, if you still have it you might be tempted to try it again having pruned or bent a few of the flower stalks out as this would convey more a sense of decay and age. |
