A great image Tim. I love the juxtaposition of the building styles, modern and unusual on the right and more "normal" on the left and background. The blurred person walking in the bottom right corner is a real nice finishing touch. And I hear what you say about keeping old lenses. Getting rid of them is just not an option. I haver an old 35mm Nikon TS lens that looks very nice sitting in the glass cabinet among my old film cameras. They're not old cameras, they're treasures. |

Thanks for your comments Sherry and your alteration does make it a different image, as the plane fuselage is more prominent having more punch and detail, but like you, I'm not so sure about that vignette. |

Wonderful image Darryl. Your processing is excellent, I love the color of the sky in your final image, and the angle of light is great. Your cropping is first rate. You've taken off the right third of the scene and removed much of the shadow on that side, plus that unnecessary portion of road and fence top in the bottom right, but you have also brought in / expanded the left third that is not in your original image. I wish I could learn that trick. |

Stunning image Peter and as always, your use of strong foreground elements is exceptional. My eyes just keep wandering around in this image soaking up the location and details. I believe there is a rule in photography that says something about not pointing your camera at the sun and taking a photo. Please Peter, keep breaking this rule, and any others you see fit to break. And also, congratulations on another Print of the month in the PSA Journal. |

Stunning photo David. Great scene, composition and colors. Your flag does enhance your Memorial Day idea. You should be very proud of this great photo (almost) rippling water can be a real cow to work with, particularly with a sun reflecting right through its middle. Keep trying mate, you'll get there. |

Wow Sherry. What a great image. But I've got to ask "I've never seen a water image from you with a shutter speed faster than 5 seconds. So what's happened here? Camera ok?" ;)
Seriously, great simple uncomplicated composition and use of colors. Even works a treat as a pano. Loose the bottom but keep all that reflection and top third of the sky. Great image indeed.
PS Photoshop a decent size shark fin in the right third at the end of that ripple line, and you can say you've been down here....... |

I'm sorry for taking so long to get back to you Sanford. Yes by all means borrow it and go for it. My inspiration came from the late French photographer Eugene Atget who photographed the architecture and street scenes of Paris round about 1910 to 1920 before it suffered "modernisation" as he put it. It was a great exercise for me and I enjoyed it immensely. I took some whole buildings, some of their finer details, both external and internal. The nik filter I used was Silver Effects Antique Plate 1 (I'm 99% sure) with some slight movement of the sliders. Enjoy this project for yourself. Perhaps we can swap some of our work. |

This is a very strong image Tyler. I personally believe that sunrises and sunsets with the sun in the frame are quite tricky to capture, due to their high contrast and the light range that is often evident. Many times a digital camera is unable to match the task and struggle to reproduce what out eyes can see. I know right now you are in the middle of an important time at school, and you are also possibly still learning your way around the workings of your new Nikon. May I make a suggestion please? After school pressures leave, spend some time learning the details of your D3500. Read the instruction manual one small piece at a time. Can I suggest you start with the metering modes. Take 3 photos all very similar to this one, straight after each other. But change the metering mode as you go, first matrix (pattern) mode, second center weighted average mode and third spot mode, but meter off the trees. Then compare all three photos and see which you prefer. I would like to see your results and hear your thoughts over coming months. |

Jorn, you have it the wrong way around. You have a Leica camera, with a phone built around it. This image is superbly composed and presented. I find it simple and uncomplicated, very well handled and presenting it in mono really enhances it's mood. Very well done indeed. |

What an excellent image Cyndy. Your original image is wonderful in its own right, and gives you a very strong starting point. That is no fluke in itself. Your processing is first rate. You have given the image a good amount of warmth and I am particularly pleased to see you have removed those small dots from the cormorant's feathers. |

A great final image Sanford. Your original image shows wonderful composition and your angle of view shows good foresight about your position in relation to the subject and environment. Your processing has really enhanced the colors and texture of the sand which is a dominant feature and occupies a large percentage of your image. Great work. Image of the month. |

Nice processing Trey. In the original the water, sky, trees & banks all seen very ordinary, but you have brought out their detail and given them some punch. I wonder what an image with the loco not having that "painted" effect would look like. |
