A good image Nelson. You have used the elements before you very well and to good effect. Your use of foreground and background elements provide good depth in this image. |

A very well composed image Tatu. The IR effect on the middle ground is very good. |

A pleasing and interesting image Lauren. Your use of the sky colour and combine are both very good, but I have just one question please. How would this look if the foreground grass/crop was more green rather than blue? |

Thanks for your comments Lauren. The trail leads walkers back up on a climb from visiting a number of waterfalls. Sadly the tree tops would not have lent themselves to IR photography, due to their darker tones. Even if the camera was turned to vertical, they wouldn't have been in the frame anyway. |

I really admire this image Gary. I'm one of those photographers who go out on a mission with certain images in mind that I want to capture. So your "working on landscape images" aroused my interest straight away. While I appreciate what Butch has offered as an alternative, this type of landscape and the elements within it, take me back to the 1950's through to say the 70's. And the types of images they were producing then, large areas, peaceful in their appeal and soothing, even tonal ranges. This is a great image that I think would look well next to the ones from those times. |

A great image Dave. Your use of foreground and background elements provide great depth. Tonal contrast in Nik as Butch has applied, is also one on my go to filters as it gives good contrast and can give a little punch to a scene. I do like your original pano, as in my eyes, the mountains on the very left help bring additional depth and carry our eyes that much further into this image. |

A very peaceful image Peter. It brings a mood of calmness to me due to the minimal number of elements here. The colour palette
is easy on the eyes with just enough details in the clouds and the grass. |

A great image Butch. Your use of foreground and background details create good depth and our eyes can wander through the scene to the distant mountains. |

This is a great image Sherry. Time of day and your composition really suit this scene. It does also work well as a pano emphasizing the clouds more. And your inclusion of the boat adds a good story to this one. |

I apologize if I seem angry with judges, perhaps I am. Many judges I know would say this is a great image, but then mark it down because of the burnt out area of the sun. My point to Sanford was to say that when the sun is included in an image, it will always blow out. In this particular image, it provides great mood, rim lighting around the three photographers and good detail to the ground. These all outway the burnt out factor. |

I'm a trouble maker Henriette. While you say many people prefer the colour version, I'm going for you B&W version. You want us to look at the rocks and the yellow light takes some of our attention away from the rocks. In the B&W, we can still see the effect of the light, but it is a supporting element to the rocks. Your second version does grab attention a little more than your original offering. Very well done. |

A strong image Trey. Everyone in this group knows that my processing skills are currently under construction and a work in progress, so I will stay away from all comments about verticals and perspective. The composition, colours and presentation of this image are very good. |

Another superb theater image Sophie. You have presented them to us at just the right moment. You mention the complicity of the artists, I see it as communication between the artists. Your controlling of the light is excellent, nice and bright, not only with the costumes, but also with her hair and their skin tones. You ask for our opinions, so I will ask a question of you and also the others. Have you though about cropping the lights off from the bottom, but leaving her foot complete? And a very minor detail, those two yellow lights just touching his upper body edge, can they be made less obvious or vibrant? But still a superb image Sophie. |

Jay, what a stunner. Separation of jet 3, in my mind, is irrelevant. That little overlap tells me more about their proximity to each other. But that's just my opinion, I'll leave all that up to others who know better than me. The image itself has great impact by way of colour and composition. Congratulations on a great image that would look good hanging anywhere. |

A simply superb image Sanford. Well seen, taken, processed and presented. Personally, I like photos that tell stories and this one is screaming at me. If you belong to a club and put this up for discussion or competition, and the moderator/judge comments on the blown out sun, do me a favor please. Throw something at him or her. The sun is doing exactly what it's supposed to do. This one deserves to be in an exhibition rather than a competition. More like this one please Sanford. |

Congratulations on another superb image Gordon. The thought processes at the start, and capture and processing methods have resulted in an outstanding image. A friend down here who is a retired emeritus professor of fine art photography, during a lecture at my club many years ago said a statement that has stuck in my mind ever since. "I was out with a friend and we were making images." Note that he said "making images" not "taking photos". There's a huge difference there.
In my little mind, photography is all about the final image. How the photographer gets there is entirely up to them. By compositing the two images together is an excellent technique. Part of me wants to wish you good luck with your presentation, but another part says "Nah, he doesn't need it. He's got it easily covered". |
