In my humble opinion Sherry, this 2nd image is much cleaner. I fully appreciate your thoughts about scale, but I think the shear depth of this image and the buildings on the far shore provide enough scale. The next step in my opinion is to now print it, mount it, frame it, hang it and then appreciate it, with a glass or cup of whatever you prefer. |

Great composition David, promoting a strong sense of depth. The reflected clouds on the still water show beautifully what we don't see, just out of frame to the top. But I also love wandering around the left and far shores those tree reflections as well. Well captured. |

Hi Steven, a good architectural image taken from inside one building looking out towards others. You have shown us a little of the inside and a lot of the outside. I agree with Tim about those 4 bright spots along the top right & the red dot, but I think a great amount of structural glass has a coating of some sort on it and these coatings greatly affect light. Using a phone you might be limited to what can be done. So given the circumstances you had when taking this one, you did a great job. I wonder if there was a way you could have taken a similar shot but without shooting through glass? |

A very evocative image Tuhin. Your thinking and execution of the emotion behind this image is superb. It is often heard that an image should tell a story. Mate, this one positively screams its story at you.
Oh, over here "Mate" is an aussie term for close friend, comrade or brother. |

WOW Sherry, you normally shoot water at 20 seconds, not 1/200. Superb composition, color and depth. I know I'm a right royal scoundrel, but my only concern are those two people on the left clifftop, in the red and yellow jumpers. Either push them off and wait for the water to carry them away, or hit them with the clone tool and turn them grass green. Yes I'm picky, but I can't stop looking at them instead of the rest of this superb image. |

As great as always Peter. Another superb example of your ability to use foreground and background to provide the third dimension of depth. I love the balance between the red building on the left and the orange sunrise colors on the right. Great work in shooting at a slightly downward angle, but still producing an image with good verticals. And that depth is great, I just keep on walking around in this one. |

Hi Tim. I would like to echo David in welcoming you to the group. What a stunner! Both the building and your image. Great execution, I love the colors, the composition and the balance. Your choice for time of day to capture this is also superb, showing good detail in the "street", but also having nice sky color & just a remnant hint of clouds just above the horizon. Well done from the absent aussie this month. |

What a great image Tyler. The way you are now starting to present photos taken on your phone, I can't wait to see what happens when you get that new camera. Great cropping, processing and presentation. You said you wanted to bring out a vibrant sunset and you certainly have. Well done. |

WOW Jorn, an ink festival, I've never heard of one. One thing I have great difficulty with is walking up to a perfect stranger and asking if I can take their photo. But I guess at and ink festival, people want to show off their new tats, so it wouldn't be so hard there. Great subject matter and great subject. My only thoughts are that the "new" tattoo only takes up a small percentage of the image. Did you take more than one of this girl? And the metal bars behind her are un-necessary distractions to me, as are her socks. I know these are small details and may seem trivial, but if you moved to her left, those bars may have been removed, her new tattoo on her left leg would have been more prominent in the image and her socks would not be the nearest thing to the camera. Having said all that it is still an image I think she would like to see. |

Thanks for your comments Jay. Personally I feel that if I wasn't completely honest in all aspects and details, I would be doing everyone a dis-service. So if I seem a little savage sometimes and it seems a small detail, it's just because it has caught my eye and once caught, it is hard for me to take my eye away from it. I just want to see everyone's image making improve. And that goes for me too, if I overlook something, and someone else sees it but doesn't tell me I'd reach through this computer and start swinging punches, but friendly ones. |

A great nature shot Trey. Your original image is great in its own right, but your processing has really given this image some punch. Overcast days are my favorite to get out with my camera. And don't you just love some of these digital ISO's, 635 for goodness sake !!! Great image. I'm looking forward to see what you put up next month. |

A great final image Jay when compared to the original. I love the cropping that forces us to look closely at the far bank. My only real thought for improvement would be to try and tone down the flat part of the wooden structure. Having said that, our craft called photography is very open to comment, but in the end it is entirely up to the photographer to capture, process and present an image as he or she desires. You should be very proud of this one. |

Great work Cyndy. You've cropped it beautifully to get rid of those bright distractions. Flash is handled quite well to bring out the main orchid as you wanted, but in my personal opinion it is still just a touch strong causing some reflection. Yes the bulb is smooth and shiny and will always reflect, but maybe next time I would like to see the flash either reduced in its output, or moved a little further away and raised up a couple of inches. And what about a reflector to camera right to balance it a little. Just my thoughts. |

Thanks for dropping in Mark. "Vivid" has grown into a huge event. Each "Light display" lasts for anywhere between 15 and 20 minutes, and is on a continuous loop that runs from around 6pm until 11pm or midnight. The best approach for me is to set up, just sit back and watch the session, to get an idea of what's happening until I see some repeats and then start shooting. |

Thanks Cyndy. It's always a challenge during "Vivid" as it is affectionally known. It seems that everyone in Sydney who owns a camera and tripod is right where you want to be and at the same time. And then there is the army of mobile phones. But it's all good fun, you just have to take your time and be patient. |
