76	Oct 24	Comment	I think you have captured and processed this well! I agree with Ian about cropping off the lights. I would add a tad more space to the top of the image. Other than that, kudos!	Oct 21st
76	Oct 24	Comment	Henrietta, I'm going to the Dark Side. I prefer your second B&W version. Ask yourself, what is the leading subject and what is the supportive subject? For me, the subject is the light coming thru the opening. Everything else is the supportive subject. Though the rock facings are very interesting, you don't want them to detract from your star subject; they are there to showcase your leading subject. The walls and foam help tell the story about the light. I find the upper right light on the rock wall a distraction because it takes the viewer's attention away from the main light. Ditto on the rock face at bottom left. I have attached what I would have done in an 8x10 crop with dodging and burning. Of course, it's your story and please stay true to that over my suggestions. I think this is a wonderful image and presented you with the opportunity to refine it to tell the story you want.	Oct 21st
76	Oct 24	Comment	Gordon, you are a man with time to spare! Night photography like this takes commitment and time management. You have illustrated your dedication and masterful post processing skills. Why did you choose your camera placement: The Milky Way is not directly over the main part (heavy foreground) of the pier, but off to the left. As you have it, it creates tension. However, to my eye, if you cropped off a portion of the bottom, then the pier's directional end more apparently leads the eye to the Milky Way and there isn't that tension.	Oct 21st
76	Oct 24	Comment	Nice capture! The only thing I would be to increase the negative space on the left. Kudos!	Oct 21st
76	Oct 24	Comment	Ahhh, the controversy seems to be the sun. Let me add to the discussion. If you look at the opening in the clouds, it looks like an eye - perhaps the eye of God overlooking the scene. Light tells the story in our images, and here it tells the story of God's creation and the miracle and mystery of Earth. There are 3 people. There are 3 areas of flame. The two outside people are along the vertical axis for the Roule of Thirds. Foreground is the mystery of darkness and the people looking into the brilliance of enlightenment of what lies before them. To my eye, I can't distinguish a horizon line and was wondering what you used for that? A wonderful photo, kudos!	Oct 21st
76	Oct 24	Comment	Seems like we both chose architecture this month! Building verticals are always a challenge, like trees in the woods. You get most to be perfect vertically but there's always a few here and there that won't succumb to your adjustment. Nothing wrong with blue sky and water, but did you consider making this a 16x9 crop? Too much sky and/or water is too much negative space. I see you had 28mm for focal length - perhaps a 35 or 50 would have given less warping. Finally, I would have gotten more of the skyline between the two peaks of the opera house. Otherwise a very fine image!	Oct 21st
76	Oct 24	Reply	I used LR and the Transform sliders. But will go into PS and try to copy what you have done. I like it when I learn some new tool! Thanks for helping me out, I appreciate it very much.	Oct 15th
76	Oct 24	Reply	I tried the best I could and even cropped it. Took 3 different adjustments to hone in on the final. Thoughts?	Oct 15th
