35 May 24 Reply Thanks for your comments Stuart. Yes reducing some of the top does make a difference. May 23rd
35 May 24 Reply Thanks for your comments Nelson. May 23rd
35 May 24 Reply Thanks for your comments Tatu. May 23rd
35 May 24 Reply Thanks for your comments Debbie. As I mentioned to Lauren, I'm aiming to lift my post processing skills over the coming months. May 23rd
35 May 24 Reply Thanks for your comments Lauren. I'm on a mission for the remainder of this year to improve my post processing skills. May 23rd
35 May 24 Comment A very strong image Tatu. I agree with the others, a little more contrast would really lift this one. May 23rd
35 May 24 Comment A very striking and unusual image Nelson, nicely done. May 23rd
35 May 24 Comment This is a great image Debbie that presents well in IR. I know they're not everyone's cup of tea, but what are your thoughts on panoramic photos? If you were to loose a fair bit of the foreground, to the point where the dark rocks on the right are gone, the cows would appear a lot closer and the scene would still have good impact. Just a thought. May 23rd
35 May 24 Comment Congratulations on a great image Stuart. Yes I agree, cemeteries lend themselves beautifully to IR work. You have combined the right amount of IR elements with the headstones to good effect. May 23rd

73 May 24 Reply Thank you Stephen, I'm very grateful for your comments. May 23rd
73 May 24 Reply Thanks Sherry. A friend of mine once said, who says all photos have to be "correctly" exposed? May 23rd
73 May 24 Reply Thanks Gary. May 23rd
73 May 24 Reply Thanks for your comments Butch. May 23rd
73 May 24 Comment Congratulations Dhananjay on a great image. The pano format suits this extremely well. While you can't claim credit for making the colours, you can claim points for being there at the right time and capturing them. I concur with what Sherry and Butch have already said. May 23rd
73 May 24 Comment All I can say Gary is "Twelve out of Ten". I wish it was mine. May 23rd
73 May 24 Comment A great image Butch, that shows the starkness of the location in this season. Good use of foreground and background elements give a good sense of depth. B&W also enhances the mood. And great use of focus stacking. May 23rd
73 May 24 Comment A superb image Peter. We don't see much B&W work from you, so this is a treat. While I acknowledge what Butch says about the signs, I am so use to seeing them in everyday life, that they don't bother me. They are part of our cities. What I do enjoy is your positioning and angle of view. While some may say converging verticals are a problem, they can and do here, add drama. I also like your inclusion of buildings in the background, behind your subject building. Congratulations on a superb image Peter. You have inspired me to go into our city and try again to photograph a building we call "The Paper Bag Building". May 23rd
73 May 24 Comment You know me Sherry. I'm a rebel and politely and respectfully disagree with the other comments to date. I like your image as it is, without any further cropping. It's nice to have our attention focused on what is important, but I think it's also nice to see some of "the environment" in an image. The foreground, background and sides in images, all contribute to a sense of place and location. I agree with Butch, Nik's tonal contrast is one of my go to's, as is detail extractor, but only when it suits the image. You also know I love flowing water, be it waterfalls or surf. The amount of movement you have shown us here is spot on. A great photo. May 23rd

76 May 24 Reply Thanks for your comments Henriette. It's always fun to try new techniques. May 23rd
76 May 24 Reply Thanks for your comments Gordon. I like the diverse genres in photography. May 23rd
76 May 24 Comment A great image of young master with attitude Sanford. One thing I often hear about this type of photography, is to be ready for the unexpected. Judging by his stride, he wasn't there for long, and his pout is priceless. Congratulations on capturing him at the right instant. May 21st
76 May 24 Comment I've said before that this is the year I want to personally improve my own photography, both in capture and processing. This image Henriette, is the perfect example of why I want to do that. Your skills at compositing make me anxious to begin my journey. The subject matter of your two images here, and their colours combine to produce a great final image. Very well done. May 21st
76 May 24 Comment Congratulations on a superb image Gordon. It's always good when a plan comes together, especially with some forethought. There is nothing I can offer to improve this, or any of your images. Please just keep on doing what you are doing. May 21st
76 May 24 Comment Sophie, you say this is a test. I wish I could have such tests. Composition is very strong as is the timing, just as the bird takes flight. I look forward to seeing more of your "tests". Bravo. May 21st
76 May 24 Comment A great image Trey. From capture, through processing and on to presentation. Your use of the colours and elements available at the time is very good. Yes, a bit of focus stacking would remove the softness from the closest edge of the petal, but this is still a great photo that makes us concentrate on the stamens. Congratulations on a job well done. May 21st
76 May 24 Comment Congratulations on a superb image Jay. When I first saw this I just thought WOW !!! It has everything going for it. Minimalism in subject matter, great size in the frame and enough detail to let us know what it's all about. One thing you should be aware of is the number of photos that are taken by every photographer, until they get the one they are happy with. We as viewers don't get to see the 99.5% of failed attempts. And yes, photos of the moon, almost always require a good amount of under exposure. YouTube and workshops are great, but by far, the two best teachers are your right index finger and cable release. May 21st
