56 Mar 22 Comment I absolutely love this wildlife image and how you painted it! The owls are well balance within the space and the colors contrast nicely to showcase the birds. Kudos! Mar 20th
56 Mar 22 Comment Wow, great circular eye motion takes you through this wonderful watercolor renditon! I'm glad you edited out the land peninsula at top left. Well done! Mar 20th
56 Mar 22 Comment Certainly a study in b&w and tonal qualities. To my eye, the background texture stresses with the texture of the flower. I would also add some space at left so the flower petal isn't crunched at the edge. I really like that tension in the image! Mar 20th
56 Mar 22 Comment The original image has an abundance of shapes and textures and you chose a wonderful area to capture. I like how you transformed the coloration of the rock and the strokes in the sky. I would suggest that in the mid ground you bring oout more of the line/texture of the rock as seen in the original as that would bring in more contrast. I appreciate the way you brought out the rock facing in the background and that adds a lot to DOF. Mar 20th
56 Mar 22 Comment I truly love what you've done with this image. My only suggestions would be to add more space at top and bottom. I'm sure this person would love a copy of what yo've done! Mar 20th

76 Mar 22 Reply Lance,thanks for visiting and commenting!
Alas, no ND filter along for this excursion and the water has little velocity to it.
I should have photo stacked the image to compensate for the blurred areas.
Yes, I was using a tripod.
What drew me to this is not only the face, but the stream bottom's color to contrast with the blue of the ice.
I look forward to continuing the conversation!		 Mar 25th
76 Mar 22 Reply Yes, wheelchairs can be a challenge for ppositions from which to shoot from, not doubt about it. Most venues have designated areas, like sporting events. However, some may make accommodations if you call in adavance, explain your situation and ask if you may arrive early to eye out a positon that would be more advantageous for photography - especially if you offer to share some of your images with the performers and the venue. Don't be bashful about requesting this, but be cooperative and understanding. They make accommodations for the Press, why not the physically challenged? This will help you develop a long-term relationship with the venue! Mar 20th
76 Mar 22 Comment Very well done for reportage. If you had moved to your right a tad, you would have had more separation between the toes and the lines. Perhaps you were unable to because of your seat position. I love the light beams at left. I'd also increase the contrast (allowable in reportage). Mar 20th
76 Mar 22 Comment Like a physician, photographers should "Do no harm" in the pprocessing of an image and I think your replacement of the ground was well done. You softened the butterflies, artistic choice and the shadow adds depth and direction to the image but I would have added some more space alonjg the left edge so that shadow isn't crimped and has breathing room since you left a lot of negative space at top right. You also have a mild vignette which helps keep the eye in the middle. Mar 20th
76 Mar 22 Comment I love the star bursts on the light reflections! I think you've succeeded at what you wanted to catch and your cropping zoomed in on the action of the image. The darker blue background works well in bringout out the light more. Mar 20th

88 Mar 22 Reply Thanks, I think the consensus is to lighten the buildings! Mar 25th
88 Mar 22 Comment This is a wonderful imasge to play around with in PP, so kudos in capturing it! Louis opted for more of a silhouette image, and that's one way to go. In dealing with trees, I have found that (a) you leave the entire height of the tree in with space from the top edge, or (b) you dramatically cut the tree to emphasize larger branches and their directions for impact. Artistic choice on your part. You alsdo have a lot of negative space at top right, which would tell me to have a more dramatic cut into the height of the tree. I have included a sample of what a crop can do. Mar 20th
88 Mar 22 Comment I think you enhanced the dynamics of the image opting for b&w. I think you have the mood correct and the contrast between light and dark is well done IMHO. I would try various crops to enhance the impact and find one that gives it a punch. I have attached an example. Mar 20th
88 Mar 22 Comment I like your choice of tree: contrast between dying and life rejuvination. I agree that more space is needed at the top. I would have also walked a bit to the left so the arching branch came over the Washington Monument, which I would have placed near the trunk to create an additional contrast of shape and texture (keep this in mind when you return!). You also may be able to escape that cracked concrete edge too. The whispy clouds are a wonderful background too. Mar 20th
88 Mar 22 Comment Nice choice of b&w for drama! Your leading line is at center and directs the eye to the buildings. I'd lighten the tall building a tad to make it dominate so there's no question as to what you are directing the eye towards (eyes go to brightest areas). I would suggest playing with the top and bottom with cropping; see which brings out more contrast, enhances the mystery. Would an overall 16x9 (or similar) crop enhance what you're trying to achieve? I think you have trhe correct light on the foreground square patchwork. Your choice of sky work adds to the mood of fine art. Mar 20th
88 Mar 22 Comment Sky replacements have to be considerate of light direction and time of day. I think you chose the correct light direction (yeah!) and its direction is the same as the shadows in the tree line. From this point, I respectfully disagree with others here about the sky giving a more HDR look. Did you try and tone down the sky to match the blues in the original image? Mid-afternoon is the harshest light to shoot in and you captured a lot of detail. There's good separation between foreground, mid ground and background. I'd also make the image more square so the mountain at right aligns with the vertical 1/3 line. Mar 20th
