11 Jun 25 Comment I like the composition and the toning. Hunts Mesa and Monument Valley are amazing places - I plan on going to Hunt's Mesa next year - not that far from home in Phoenix.

One suggestion - crop in from the left to in between the two holes in the rock. There is a lot of bright negative space on the left that for me takes emphasis away from the arches on the right.		 Jun 21st
11 Jun 25 Comment As a 40 year Chicago resident, I immediately recognized these buildins as Marina Towers (interesting history, worth reading - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marina_City). Another good example of symmetric placement of the subject. The seagull adds to the composition, but ... just my opinion ... I think it would be better placed in the top of the photo. My eye follows the diagonal leading lines of the towers up into the sky, but the bird pulls it back down. Jun 21st
11 Jun 25 Comment I really like how the curved lines of the leaves and water drops all lead in to a central point. Great detail in the leaves and water drops. Good conversion to monochrome. I may be going "against the grain" here but I prefer the color version. To me the water drops stand out more - they have both color and brightness contrast, while in the monochrome the contrast is only brightness. Just my opinion. Jun 21st
11 Jun 25 Comment I agree with Murphy, symmetric placement for a symmetric subject. I also think placing the subject on center works for a person looking directly at you. Jun 20th

17 Jun 25 Comment Ticks all the boxes, great image. Excellent toning, the highlights aren't blown out and I can still just see detail in the shadows. I'm impressed by the sharpness front to back given how close the rocks are. Was this taken with a full frame camera? Jun 20th
17 Jun 25 Comment Ditto to others comments. If you don't have more of the river on the un cropped original, generative expand might work. Jun 20th
17 Jun 25 Comment Great capture. Was the venue that dark? I wonder what it would look like with the exposure increased a bit. Jun 20th
17 Jun 25 Comment Great composition and blurred background. Maybe its my laptop monitor, but for me the eye is sharp but other parts of the bird appear a little soft. I'm guessing at your subject distance to be 10M. Depth of field for a 600mm at 6.3 and that distance is .1M according to photopills, and in my experience their numbers are generous. Jun 20th
17 Jun 25 Comment Central placement of the bell works well for this photo's composition. The bell rope adds a splash of color. Jun 20th
17 Jun 25 Comment I like the white background/white flower high key presentation. Composition is excellent, especially leading line of stem. Great job combining the stacked images. Jun 20th
