10 Dec 23 Reply I was able to do that in Photoshop. You can adjust the height of the picture and put your thingy in the corner and straighten out the picture - the cross will stay in place. Do you have Photoshop? Dec 11th
10 Dec 23 Comment Meredith: I just had to play with this. It needs more work in the shadows.
What do you think?
Just for fun..		 Dec 11th
10 Dec 23 Reply Thank you, Peter. In my Nature division we are not allowed to remove stuff -- but I think you're right, and I'll do that - remove the lines on the left.
Usually we have more water down where the cranes are but this year the rain hasn't been much yet -- I'll have to go back after Christmas !!		 Dec 11th
10 Dec 23 Comment Hi Peter, I also would crop a bit off the left, and maybe even some of the top so the roof lines aren't so uneven.
But it is lovely, and if you don't do a thing to it, that's fine also. The sun is very bright; I'd love to see this at sunset or sunrise and see what happens to the colors, which are magnificent !		 Dec 11th
10 Dec 23 Comment Well, it's an interesting subject, I would love to photograph these.
The main thing I'm not crazy about is I'm waiting for the balls to start rolling downhill. LOL. I would have preferred seeing them from a different vantage point, maybe in a straighter line, from behind one, and seeing the rest lined up behind -- don't know if that makes sense. Hard to describe what I mean. I would take out the yellow leaf ! Keep it more abstract. I love the textures and your exposure is great. I'd love to see some of the other pictures you took of them !

10 Dec 23 Comment Very pretty, Diana, I like it a lot. It does show up quite bright on my computer, and my monitor is a bit on the darker side, so I might suggest bringing down the exposure a bit.
I like the colors, focus, etc.
Well done !

10 Dec 23 Comment Very pretty; I like the soft focus. Not sure what a Westcott soft box is; I'll have to google that. I do like the black background. Yes, I like this ! Dec 11th
10 Dec 23 Comment I find the angle of the grassy area in front to be distracting, so I think in the future try to be sure your "horizon" in front is straight. This picture seems really bright to me, and very contrasty (is that a word?). Definitely an impressive building. Dec 11th
10 Dec 23 Reply It's funny because the judges in my camera club would all say, if I cropped on the right, that I need to leave room for where the Cranes are looking, which is to the right.
But I get your point. The line on the right is mud, but I could see it might be a distraction to some viewers.
Thank you for your suggestions.
