56 Aug 24 Comment Mic drop! Aug 23rd
56 Aug 24 Comment Nicely done! I'd print on rice paper, then mat and hang in a window. Aug 23rd
56 Aug 24 Comment Gerhard, nice choice to flip the image to have the animal running into the frame from the left. Nice textures. Looks like a successful panning by the photographer creating the blurr. Aug 23rd

76 Aug 24 Comment Henriette, one look and I said "LensBaby"! Dreamy, center-weighted with glamor in the luminance. It seems bottom-heavy to my eye, which wants to crop it just above the 3rd petal from the bottom. But that's a guy looking at it. Wonderful the way it is! Aug 23rd
76 Aug 24 Comment Jay, nice processing on this image! The sharpness is right on. The water droplets are fantastic. The colors are vibrant. I love the lower leaf which "presents" the bud above and is a nice bottom edge. My only question: why the leaf at top left? Aug 23rd
76 Aug 24 Comment Sophie, a nicely balanced wildlife capture! There are 12 birds sooo, I'd get rid of the one at the far left to tighten up that "circle of friends". I like how you cropped to the "action" in the image. With the bottom of the image out of focus, I'd suggest using a gradient filter to darken the area. I think the face of the animal is done well - shaded black on black is hard to contend with - and the eyes come out. I'd suggest dodging and burning to create more DOF. Really neat capture! Aug 23rd

76 Aug 24 Comment Sanford, you sure visit some wonderful spots! I like what you are attempting in this image. Blue Hour is a fantastic time that is underappreciated by many photographers. I feel that you tried to balance the large lit building at the bottom right with the large pink cloud at the top left. To add contrast to the town, I would dodge some of the buildings and enhance the lights on the large one and in the street area at the 3rd intersections. Further, I think that the large white cloud formation at the left could benefit from some dodging. This could be a wonderful masterpiece! Aug 23rd
76 Aug 24 Comment Ian, minimizing the land and lake tells the viewer that the story is about the sky. The clouds coming into the image from the left are a natural eye flow to Western minds. The interplays of darkness and light are well captured/processed here. The negative space at top right offsets the heaviness of the left side. Would you consider a more aggressive crop of leaving just a sliver of land at the bottom? Aug 23rd
76 Aug 24 Comment What is street photography? I have included a chart from Omar Gonzales. Yes, that building is bright, I'll look at toning it down, thanks. Aug 19th

88 Aug 24 Reply Leaves are starting to change a tad here in Central Wisconsin. September will be a cooler month to return to the woodlands! Aug 26th
88 Aug 24 Reply Cropping on the right was a difficult decision. If I put in more of the mural, its red color would vie for attention from the young girls. I also thought of cropping to the pole, like a tree in a woodland scene to frame the image.
The power line at the top was a conscious decision to leave it in. Here's why: it provides an upper frame, it makes a connection between the left and right sides, it mirrors a line on the asphalt below. Going further back in the alley across the street, the power line crossing from right to left goes down a pole to a barrier, which leads the eye back into the mural. I hope that explains my logic.

88 Aug 24 Comment Sanat, this image shows that you have a milestone step made in post-processing! Did you think of using a polarized filter because of the water? Ditto on the positives mentioned above. I love what you did in the foreground and keeping that haze in the background is well done. I think what you did with the sky is good, but I would decrease the saturation a tad to make it more realistic, but that's my eye. Nicely done! Aug 23rd
88 Aug 24 Comment Quang, the mountains there do have haze and I think you caught it well. You were successful in bringing some DOF into the image with your processing. I would crop in your right edge to get rid of the tree, but that's my eye. A nice remembrance of your hike! Aug 23rd
88 Aug 24 Comment Charles, a lovely scene indeed! The buggy's color nicely contrasts with the green and white, and the tan color of the road. There is a nice triangle in the image from the top middle down through the 2 homes and along the shoreline. The buggy sits at the third intersect. The rive provides a nice bottom border to the image. It's nice how the tree curves toward the buggy! Too bad you couldn't get a view without the tree on the left side of the image. Aug 23rd
88 Aug 24 Comment Brian, nice DOF and I like your choice of warming up the image. I like the way you processed the sky. As to the sun … why don't judges like it on the edge? I think it has to do with the size, the dominance, and the treatment of the ball of the sun itself. There are YouTube vids which instruct you on how to deal with brightness and the strategy of placement. The sun, itself, can be quite distracting as it is here. In this case, it would be better to have it cropped off and creates a light stream/beams coming off of it into the image. IMHO, the story isn't about the sun, it's about its effect on the hills and haze. In this case, the lens flare should be removed. Aug 23rd
88 Aug 24 Comment Mark, this image has a foreground, mid-ground, and background. The chairs are an integral part of the foreground and fits in well with the white in the boats and the building trim. You did a wonderful job on the sky refinement. If only you could have gotten a bit higher so that the roofline didn't touch the land on the other side of the inlet - but sometimes being higher isn't possible as I'm sure it wasn't in this case. I think your image tells a story, and that's important. Aug 23rd
