Laura, the S4C is a highly respected council of camera clubs. I hope you do well. S4C accepted my cactus flower entry which I posted as DD#24 October 2019.

Jim, this photo is the action. The action is everything that's happening around the center. I hope you are having a wonderful time in Europe and look forward to your photos of where you go and what you do in 2020. Dr. Jim |

Laura, you are evolving and getting better each month. I admire how you wait for the ideal moment to snap the shutter, only to be amazed with what you do in post-processing. Your landscapes in previous years are salon level and you are taking those skills to new venues. I look forward to seeing your improvements and challenges in 2020. Dr. Jim |

Donna, yes, this reworked photo is much better.
You've improved in many ways this year. I look forward to what you bring next year.
It's great that your image will be on the psadigital.org home page showcase starting December 15.

Jim - great action shot. I like the rich sunset, dusty colors and dirt flying. Fixing the aperture at f/8 was the best decision to get the depth of field on the action. Cropping it to a square keeps the attention on that action.
Well done. Dr. Jim |

Laura, you got it right. The exposure is ideal and I like the faint lighting of the foreground so it doesn't seem to float in space. I'm sure that the photo is properly cropped and framed well - because that's how you sent it. However, on this black page on Group #24, the sides and top are not distinguishable.
I suggest that for this webpage and for PSA and club PID (projected image digital) exhibits or competitions that have black screens you add a white border of 2 or 3 pixels to frame it. This way the cropping you did on the right side makes sense. (on this webpage it looks cut off).
I hope this idea helps - especially for competitions and exhibitions. I did this here - but you have to click on it to enlarge it onto the black background to get the effect. Dr. Jim |

Sam, this is inspiring and mystical. I like what you have done to capture all this splendid architecture in a very uplifting photo. I notice how the perspective of the first step is not level and makes it look like a big step to climb the stairs. In Photoshop transform I lowered the right side of the step to make it level. It seems more natural to take the first step. Let me know what you think. Dr. Jim |

Kumar, Thank you for sharing the background story of why this palace is so important. I like the rich landscaping and the warm colors of the stones. The sky is rich in texture and colors. I did notice the bird flying in the far left. It's not that noticeable, but if we can't tell what kind of bird it is, I suggest that you remove it. Nicely done. Dr. Jim |

Donna, I like how you caught this bison story, what they do day in and day out. The green grass and clumps of dirt tell a lot about what this bison does.
The resolution on the horn is a little off, pixelated with a halo around both. Did you crop off more than 20%?

Sue, you have brought out the best in this "experienced model" and I like the amount of catch-light you have in the eyes. Since the background is blown out you might consider removing the dark blotches that remain in the B&W. I used the Dodge tool in Photoshop. Let me know what you think. Dr. Jim |
