Ditto on the cropping and blow out on the front leaf and stamens. I do like the texture in the petals. The pollen doesn't bother me as it adds to the age of the flower. I like the black background contrasting with the flower. Love the curves. |

The black and white conversion works. It looks like you did some high processing or HDR. (Duh, high pass sharpening as I read the description.) While this works on the anchors giving texture, I don't think it works well for the foreground. I'm distracted by the "stuff" in the sand and away from the excellent perspective anchors. |

Yup, mono great.
Yup, flip to see action left to right.
Nice addition to your B&W portfolio. |

Great panning shot.
I agree with others that the post processing appears to blur the rider. It does get rid of background distractions however.
I might have flipped the photo so that we can "read" the motion from left to right.
Also, I might have kept the second rider in the background even though he is blurry. Keeping him seems to reinforce the intensity of this event.
You were very fortunate to be able to document this historic event. Nice job. |

No exorcist. Those people are exercising. Local friends didn't get it either. Exercising at the end of the day is a way to exorcise the New York stress. Ok. I suspect that as it is so blurry, no one could really see that they were exercising. Hence, no play on words for this photo. Bummer. |

I think the softness is from being cropped too small. My sensor is just 16 mp and that small of crop just seemed to make it blurry. I tried to increase the pixels but guess it didn't work on this one. |

Hum. How would I have done tonal adjustments? Manually with the sliders? I think the photo suffers from being cropped too small and an increase in pixel count only made it blurry. I think. I only have a 16 mp sensor and enlarging is not a "good thang." Also, what should the exposure have been? I didn't want to blow out the sky but wanted to get the inside of the building. |

Oh, Renee, it's not the forest, it's the tree.
Bleary eyed New Yorkers exorcising the day.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
I continued editing after submission. Any better for you? |
