10 Dec 24 Reply I wish I could grow Dahlias here but it's just too hot. They'd have to be in shade by early afternoon and only catch the morning sun. I just don't know how I would do that. I can hope to buy some in the stores. Merry Christmas ! Dec 21st

10 Dec 24 Comment Really nice !!! I've tried photographing those icebergs and it's hard to get them with a good background. I think your composition, exposure, lighting, are really good. I really like this image.
Nice job !!!
Happy New Year, Mark !

10 Dec 24 Comment Really nice Nature image -- not sure what he's eating -- birds' eggs? It almost looks like he's staring at you and daring you to interfere. It's a fun picture; I'm so envious of people who can go to Longwood Gardens !
Peter, I wonder if your monitor is too dark. Because last month and this month your images were appearing overexposed here.
Not sure if others in the group are seeing the same thing as I am -- maybe it's my monitor, yet others' images are fine here.
So if your monitor is set too dark, your images will be too light for other people. Something to look into.
Thank you for all your participation and have a Happy Holiday season !

10 Dec 24 Comment Hi Meredith, I LOVE this flower, how fascinating. I've never seen anything like it. I think your exposure is really good and you captured a great deal of detail. I'd love to see this flower in person ! I can't stop looking at all the details, the red parts look like ribbon on white cotton tufts. Superb !
The only change I would make would be to darken the upper right corner of the image - and maybe just darken the green leaves a bit with an adjustment layer. Other than that, spectacular !!
Happy Holiday Season !

10 Dec 24 Comment Hi Rich,
I love New York skylines and you really captured great reflections and colors in the buildings. I know you probably loved that Intrepid flight deck in the foreground, but to me it just added too much to the image -- too much to look at, too cluttered.
Also the sky -- was it a sky replacement? It doesn't look like it belongs. I could be way off here. I haven't been to that spot where you took the image.
Well -- you guessed it -- I just had to play with this picture. I selected the airplanes and used generative fill to create a waterfront without all the (to me) distracting flight deck. For shame !! And then I put in a different sky.
I love to play with other peoples' images and I just wanted to simplify yours. Here's what I came up with. Please forgive if you hate what I did. Have a great new year.

10 Dec 24 Comment HI Doug,
Hard to believe your original could turn into something like this, I still don't understand how you do that.
The colors are really vibrant; however I must say that I'm not crazy about abstracts and this doesn't look like a photograph to me. What I DO like is your OTHER creation, because it looks like the sun or another star of heavenly body that has become a Super Nova. That one, I like. Nicely done !
Happy Holidays !
Donna

10 Dec 24 Comment Diana,
This is lovely. Where do you find a dahlia in the winter?
I love the colors in the petals, they add depth and your background is nice and soft. Beautiful .
