Gary, can I say that I really liked your choice of subject in vintage iron! A man after my own heart. First off, just like shooting an animal, you want to leave some room for a car to look into some space, in this case at the right. A three-quarters shot is a great choice for this pickup. The dramatic clouds add so much, so why didn't you include more of them at the top? Rusty vehicles are all about contrast and the final image in this discussion thread has it all. The dark clouds at the top corners provide a nice vignette, and there is a dark space at bottom left as a similar vignette. Why none at the bottom right corner? It's so nice you can read the name on the door! |

There are so many wonderful things you've done here but getting the image in the first place was an incredible find! The webs are beautifully rendered and the different shapes bookend the boot well. It tells a story. Why did you remove all the debris on the shelf? Your textured background fits the image's mood. The lines of the shelf and its support contrasts nicely with the other shapes in the image. Why didn't you level the shelf? Very well done image and the window lighting is fantastic. |

What, no cabbage in the basket for Sauerkraut Days! I really, really like your choice of watercolor for this, makes it more nostalgic. The burlaps adds a nice contrast to the shapes of the veggies and your choice of a bright yellow adds much to the framing of the image. Beautifully done! |

You've achieved some fantastic separation of the parts of the head any photographer would die for! Your choice of texture/painting for the wonderful bokeh background draws my eye to it rather than provide a background that pushes your subject forward. Maybe darken the background via burning? I like what you did with the "mane" on the back. Why did you add orange coloration to the face and horns? I think you captured the ears well with color. And you left ample space at right for the animal to look into. |

Your choice of the textured background brings a wonderful contrast to the shell. It's a dreamy image and I like the square crop to contrast with the curves of the shell. Very well done! |

Genius to have spotted this and have been in the right place at the right time! The red rope and the red on the boat add so much. I like the coloration with blues. The white vignette edges are a wonderful addition too. Why did you leave so much space at the top? I'd make this a canvas print. |

Extremely well composed! In looking at the color version, the highlights on the chest may have been a problem, but you solved that in the b&w conversion. Everything plays so9 well to frame the performer, kudos! My only suggestion would be to have more space at the bottom or cut some off the top. |

Nice use of "3" for the image and the different shades of purple to frame the flowers is an excellent choice. Good balance and the flowers all appear in focus. My only suggestion for improvement would be to cutoff some of the lower portion of the image ... maybe a 4x5 crop? |

As a proponent of the "dark side" I like your choice of background and subtle lighting ... from a window? All flowers are sharply focused. The dulled petal colors add a sense of the somber to the image. To my eye, the only distraction is the elongated line at top center, which could be removed without impairing the image. Nice choice on the wooden box for the arrangement. |

Really like the tone sin this image and the lines. Wish there was a huge tree at dead center, but oh well, nothing you could manage on your own! Seems all the architectural lines bring your eye to a scene outside the second story window ... maybe keep that colored? Nice choice to get rid of the yellow floor sign but why didn't you remove the white sign behind it too? Really like what you've captured here. |

What a wonderful image to play around with! The choice of b&w emphasizes textures and there is ample in that glacier and rocky foreground. For me, the story appears to be the photographer and his opportunity. I would have moved slightly to the left so that he is just below that dark alcove to his right and that would place him in line with a circular movement from the dark line of the glacier, to the ice coming out from glacier at right to shore, then left to the rocks pointing back to the glacier. There is nice DOF in this with use of the mountain behind the glacier. |

It's almost like you intended ICM with this image for an Impressionistic image. I like what you've created here, it's painterly. I would suggest that you get rid of the line at the 1/3 point from the left at top. Truly, this image is "brilliant"! |
