A fine image Debbie. I'm going to agree with everyone so far. A pano would be ideal for an image like this, as it would show both bridges in their entirety, but I also maintain my thought of "You were there, I wasn't, were there any things just out of frame on either side that forbade that?" As for the people at the base of the sculpture, yes people can provide a sense of scale to an image, but in my humble opinion, in this image they are too small and insignificant to do that. To me they are small colourful distractions, the bridges and their railings provide scale. So I agree with Sherry, I would take them out and while I was at it, I would take out that bit of shrubbery in the bottom right corner. |

Superb image Peter. Great viewpoint and balance left to right, sorry for disagreeing Tom. Sharpness and clarity front to back is also great. |

A great image Dave. Strong use of foreground and background elements to bring depth into this image. Some photographers may say that the shrub and volcano are to central, but to me, it works really well here. Great composition. |

Thanks for your comments Dave, I don't mind your alternate treatment at all. It works well. Sadly, I can't see or open the image attached with your second comment. |

Thanks for your comments Tom. Yes our waters are very swimmable in our summers, but not this particular spot. The rip here would suck you straight out into the Pacific, next stop Norfolk Island. You might have to get your atlas out for that one. |

Thanks for your comments Sherry. I was lucky this particular morning and came away with about 50 or so images, some of the area like this one, and some showing closer more detailed areas. I can't wait to get back there. |

I love panos Tom and this is a ripper. Great composition, colours and use of the elements in front of you. I'm a rebel down here, I don't mind the right hand side, to my eyes it balances the left side of the image. You as the photographer are allowed to include whatever you like in your images, as we all are. Great image that you should be proud of. |

A superb image of the alps as one would expect to see Sherry. Much has been said about your sun effect and you have nailed it. I love your composition in this image, to me, your inclusion of them in the distance and their natural pastel colours add great depth to this image. |

A fine image of a fine old car Trey. You are doing what many of my friends down here are doing during lockdowns, re-visiting older images. While your main image is really strong and I like your processing, I also enjoy the tones of your original image. From a male perspective, much can be appreciated about these classic cars, when we take the time to look at their details and craftsmanship. Same goes for motor cycles and planes. Your composition with this image shows us much of the gloss, the lines and the character of this Speedster. I'll pretend not to notice the reflection of that person on the guard bottom left corner. If you don't get a reflection in the paintwork of chrome, you are too far away. Well done Trey. |

A great image Henriette. Good time of day, good light and good use of compositional elements. Everything is working well together here. Your processing has brought us the scene that you saw. Great detail throughout the whole image. |

A thousand pardons Heidi, I just noticed that I originally loaded the incorrect original image, all corrected now.
This is another great image. Dark and dramatic for sure. I really enjoy the way the orchids seem to generate their own light in their center stamens. I originally thought the two top petals on each bloom could be a little brighter, but now I'm thinking no. As this image is, the blooms look as if they are coming towards us, out from the darkness, again generating their own light. I'm not a botanist, but I can't think of many other flower types that could be used in this type of image. A great selection on your part. |

A superb image Jay. Your use of different f stops is a great way of giving yourself a collection of images to work with and choose the one you like best. Congratulations on that. Your processing is good, forcing our attention onto the details you want us to focus on. The colours and background are fine, resulting in a strong image. Very well done. |

Simply a great theatre image. Your position and viewpoint is ideal. Your composition and capture of "the moment" is excellent. My question and it is not a criticism, is how do you feel about scrolling the image down the monitor, so that you virtually crop off the timber of the stage, leaving just the patterned flooring. Do you, as a viewer, then think you are closer to the performers? Just a very minor thought and detail. This is a fantastic image Sophie, you should be very proud of it. |

Minimalist, barren, desolate, solitary, stark. All these thoughts tell me the story of this image Sanford. A very evocative image indeed and you have titled it beautifully. Very well, seen, captured, processed and presented. A harsh environment that is called home by some. My only thought Sanford, is the bottom right hand corner, loose that bit of the ship's railing. Don't clone the corner out, crop the whole right side, nothing would be lost along that side that would detract from this image. This would then be a stunning nature shot and deserve a lot of public exposure, whether in club or national comps, exhibitions and maybe even photo books. |
