36 Oct 25 Comment I will make it unanimous about cropping down from the top. I like you gave it a sense of place by including the mountains. I would consider removing a few bright nits from the bottom like Grace's flower. The silhouette would work well in B/W. I wonder for the color image if you could leave the tree trunk dark but bring out the green in the leaves to add to the color interest. Oct 16th
36 Oct 25 Comment That was some very creative work to make an effective foreboding image. There is an abandoned insane asylum near my hometown which allegedly has paranormal activity. Let's just say I experienced it when separated from my photography group. I would consider cropping down the sky a bit, but realize it adds to the scary ambience. Since I get paid by the crop, I would also consider just a bit of a crop up from the bottom. Oct 16th
36 Oct 25 Comment The sun, color and reflection all create a very impactful image. I agree with Larry about trying to find subjects that are simpler. If you stay with this image, I would consider cropping in from the right; there is little of interest on that side, and it would balance the image better with the larger tree balancing the sun.

36 Oct 25 Comment This to me is an excellent use of the fisheye lens. Great composition and subject. The B/W image appears to be a bit flat so I would consider increasing the white point, reducing the black and adding a S curve to the tone curve. Oct 16th
36 Oct 25 Comment You mean risking my life to include a foreground was not worth it.... I think you are both right, appreciate the comments. Oct 16th
36 Oct 25 Comment This appears to be a perfect time of day to capture the pano - the sky has a lot of color and is complementary to the yellow/orange of the buildings. The roads on both left and right converging toward the center of the image keep my eye within the frame. The trees in the foreground add a nice framing touch. It appears fully sharp to me. Well done.

36 Oct 25 Comment I like the placement of the falls in the image and the S curve formed by the water, but agree with others that cropping up from the bottom would improve the image. Shutter speed for water is an artist's choice. The eye sees 1/60 sec so for me, I generally go with 0.5 sec or 1/500 depending on the effect I want. On my monitor it appears there is some wind movement in the trees, but they are sharp enough that it does not bother me. Oct 16th
