57 Oct 19 Comment Hi Laurie - I like the angle you have used for this, and your slight crop has focused attention on the thistle. It's beautifully sharp, the colours are lovely, and the hairs make it a really interesting image.
What did you use as your background? It tones in well with the stem, making the thistle head really stand out.		 Oct 10th
57 Oct 19 Comment Hi Nelson - I like that you've cropped in and kept this image simple. You also have achieved good sharp focus on all the keys. Have you tried a light sepia toning to add to the vintage feel? Oct 10th
57 Oct 19 Comment Hi Cindy - what a wonderful idea to place the blue button amongst the jumble of buttons! I love the image - it brings back memories. Oct 10th
57 Oct 19 Comment Hi Jessica - I love the colours of the leaves, they are beautiful. I too have been playing with using my iPhone as the camera I have with me most often.
Like Laurie, I am a little distracted by the blurred leaf in the foreground. I am not sure of the best option other than cropping. Have a play and maybe see if a landscape orientation crop would work.		 Oct 10th

77 Oct 19 Comment Hi Karen - I love Hayden's expression! I also love that you decided to use high key mono - it really sets it off. I also like the shallow depth of field, which makes Hayden stand out.
My suggestion is to try toning down the hot spots on the right of the piano, as Witta suggests.		 Oct 10th
77 Oct 19 Comment Hi Bunny - what a wonderful image. It must have been an amazing trip!
I like how you have increased contrast to give depth to the forms. I agree the colours are a little too strong - my preference would be to retain the colours but decrease them for a more subtle toning.		 Oct 10th
77 Oct 19 Comment Thank you for sharing about Valerie Jardin's book. She is right - interesting light can really make an image something special.
I love the angles of the light on the wall, and the girl's shadow falling to the right. I do agree with Witta about toning down the hot spots. I think it would enhance the image. I also would try increasing the red on her lips to complement the wonderful red toning of her bag.		 Oct 10th
77 Oct 19 Comment Hi Connie, you have turned something ordinary into an artistic image, well done!
What did you do specifically to get the defined black edges? I like the effect you've achieved.
I would suggest you try removing the black edges from the two reflected lamp shades on the left, so they stand back with the background and let the three lamps grab our attention. 		Oct 10th
77 Oct 19 Comment Hi Witta, what a wonderful way of dealing with your image. I like the toning, and by stretching the girls in post, you have given them real dimension and presence. Love it! Oct 10th
77 Oct 19 Comment Hi Georgianne - you've achieved a lovely artistic effect! I too use stamp visible. I tend to use it when I want to experiment with two different treatments and see which I prefer. I can quickly switch between for comparison, and then delete the one I don't want.
I agree with Witta. Toning down the lighter green area at the front right of the flower just a little would concentrate focus on the flower.		 Oct 10th
