Cool image and I like what you did to the sharpness of the eye! I guess I would prefer the water version. Your background choice also helps set the moood for the image. The choice of lines makes this look more prehistoric. The iguana also would be a cool tatto! |

Very well composed action shot of the bikers. I like your chosen artistic choice. The bottom of the V is the red-shirted biker, so I'd eliminate that bright white spot, ditto with a similar spot at top left. What do you think aout lightening up the biker at far left, his arms and face like those of the biker at far right? |

Another "FUN" image! This would be wonderful in adorning a child's bedroom or over a study desk. Brings out a more creative and jovial side of you Gerhard than I knew before! For me, the eyes and eye lashes "speak" to me and so that's a very touch to have that detail there. And you choice of background was well chosen too. |

This image yells "FUN" at me. All the colors in the background help outline the flower. There still is a sence of the delicate to the flower. I really like it! |

One of the things I love about your changes is the enhanced contrast between light and dark! The BuzSim tied everything together nicely with a shared pattern especially in the clouds. The viewer's eye definitely goes to the center 4 peaks and the lare 5th peak at right brings the eye back down to the other 4. The roadway leading line is directionally enhanced with the bright light before the first tent at left. Very nicely done. |

Is the story about Shelby or Grace? Since (I assume) Shelby is so very white/bright, it leads me to believe it is about the stuffed dog and how much it is loved by Grace. However, you could establish more of a relationship between the Shelby and Grace if Grace's face and neck area were lightened as if to share the spotlight with Shelby. B&W is a good retro choice as it represents a memory, a moment frozen in time. All othe procerssing well done! |

I like the layout of the image - the Z pattern of the tools. Nice choice of wood background. But I think you could lighten it up a tad so the tools are better seen. You may have wanted to photostack the image because the front drill is out of focus. Guys like the details and edges, the gouges and dents, on their tools. These tell stories. The debris on the table top is a nice touch! |

The choice of b&w makes this definitely an artistic statement. The title helps me get a feeling of monotony yet youhave broken that up by contrasting it with darkness and light. Everything leads the viewer to two doors (at left), behind which is darkness, which adds mystery. The round posts also add a tad of geometric contrast. But wait, at bottom right is a clouded, misty-like corridor - where does it lead, is it the Twilight Zone? Nicely done Jay! |

Sanford, the choice of b&w makes the image a "memory", a tribute image to a specific time and place and occasion. Everything is well balance but I would suggest that if you made the bobber red it would definitely make a statement (especially since it is dead center in the image). I like the rocks in the foreground pointing down the lake. |

Great decision to go b&w, it sets the mood for the image. The silhouette against the lighter park of the sky and the way the branches reach into the darkness at right definitely is a statement of loss, depression, loneliness, a sense of foreboding. |

Quang, I will post another image for next month that shows what you ask. This image is about a tree that grows hither and yon about the dunes. |

My first reaction Sanat is that you have two vertical images here with the road as leading line for one and the river as leading line for the other. BUt then my eyes focusesd on the area between the river and the road and that's what took me to the snow-covered peak in the distance. Wow, three very nice images! My only suggestion would be to lighten (I can't believe I'm saying this!) the sky. |

I'm looking forward to some detailed citicism for this as it's the first time I have shot some sand dunes of this sort in a nature preserve along Lake Michigan. The story is about this tree within the ecosystem of the sand dunes preserve. |

I think you got an image that you can play with for various outcomes here. My question is why you didn't lighten more of the cityline by perhaps focus stacking this image? I love the crescent moon and its color and you haved it at the top third vertical and horizontal. I think with a crop from the right, the yellow outlined building would then fall within the right third of the image and balance the moon out nicely. I think you have a great start to what could be a fantastic image! |

What a wonderful spot for night photography! My first question is: what is the story? Is it about the trees, then you have put them in a great position at the left third. If so, then the people on the table are good to balance the image but should be on the opposing third grid line. Next question: What is the sky offering? With barren trees, often it isd best to have them against a solid color so maybe a blue sky with clouds at right and not behind the trees. I really like what you did to the mid ground brown area and the contrast it brings to the image. |

Charles, I like the life you brought out in the colors and the river takes us on a path to the sunset. I can understand where the tops of the mountains are lightened by the sky replacement you chose, but with that sky replacement would the foreground facing mountain sides really be that light? The lighter upside down "V" just above middle does a nice job in directing the eye through the scene. I guess you need to judge where the light source was when you took this shot and then make sure your replacement sky has the sun/light coming from a similar direction. What a thrill to be able to be in this location! |

Fabulously done for a minmalist b&w image! The only distraction is the light/camera above the second pole at right of escalator: should it be removed? I also like the light beam coming from the left onto the steeple. Kudos! |

Though it is nice to have captured the aircraft, due to their size it is a secondary interest in the image, much like a couple of birds or flocks of birds. By having them darker in a darkened area of the sky just tells me they are secondary. For me the real story is the contrast between the old building in the foreground and the modern one behind it, the tension of the architectural styles. My suggestion would be to brighten/lighten up the modern buildinging and bring out the detail of the older building at left. I think your sky replacement's light direction is wrong for the buildings as you can see by matching it with the original. Your replacement light would illumninate the front of the buildings, and not the sides. Choose a sky where the light is coming from the top right. |
