Martin, a nice example of fishing. The only thing that could improve the shot would be to have a young woman walking in the opposite direction. It is a very well-composed image, and I like how the brown tones tie the image together. The vertical rectangular walkway contrasts nicely with the circular and oval shapes and the triangles of the sands of time. Wonderful circular eye movement within the image. Kudos! |

Tom, I like the leading line of people to draw you through the image. You used a tablet for the shot, interesting. Why did you choose that instead of a phone or a camera? The street rectangles contrast with other geometric shapes within the image, especially the lines in the lap coverings and the dress in the background. I think you can crop off a portion of the top so you utilize the power line (?) as a leading line of the building from the top right corner. A nice shot. |

Marevi, so nice to see you back with us! You give new meaning to the phrase "drive-by shooting" hahaha. I like the cropping you did on the image, and there is a nice DOF. Your image is documentary in nature, giving us literally a snapshot of time. The contrast of sharpness in the foreground to haze due to dust in the background creates a sense of wonder about the group of people further down the road. Why did you choose to soften the clouds? |

Gerhard, the colors are overwhelming, so I would suggest going b&w with it, and I agree with a tighter crop as mentioned by Tom, but I would leave in more of the platform, which creates a nice leading line, and he jackets in b&w give you some interesting tonal ranges. With b&w you can think of people as vertical lines, like trees. |

Cisco, I don't think you could lose going color or b&w. Good choice to remove the blue stool. The arms make a good foreground focus, and there are nice tonal qualities in the b&w rendition. The dress lines and hands point down to the boy, and his arms complete the circular motion within the image. What do you think about some burning top left and bottom right? |

James Dean, you made me laugh! That reference sure takes me back to an iconic photo of him on a motorcycle. |

Gotta have a watermark on images I sell. I have black, white, and 4-color, the latter 2 got lost in the black area. |

Rusty, these Southern trees are magnificent. I took one at Boone Hall Plantation of the roadway into it and the arching over roads is amazing. I think this image could benefit from some cropping (see my example). There's too much sky. Also, by cropping, you can use the left road edge as more of a leading line. The image could also benefit from some dodging and burning to create more contrast (I did some in the example below). With a little post-processing magic, this can be a nice travel photo image. |

Henriette, a beautiful fountain capture that is expressive. Lake Michigan can present quite a few opportunities for occasions like this. Long exposure was a good choice, and your use of it was quite effective. Kudos! |

Gordon, you have very steady hands, and there must not have been a whisper of wind! Excellent image all around. I have a 90mm macro lens and have enjoyed nature shots with it. Haven't made the jump to insects yet, except bees on flowers. "Concerning taste, there's no dispute," said the old lady as she kissed the cow. My dad used to say that to me. It's what makes photography so interesting and challenging: the ability to branch out into niche areas. Very well done and composed image. |

Jay, nice composition. I like the darkening you did, and putting the red house in a dark shadow was a good choice. I especially like how you utilized the stairway at the top right. The fencing is a leading line from the bottom left to the house and leads the eye through the image in a nice circular flow. If the sky looked like your final, stay with it. I would tone down the top right portion of the sky, but that's your taste, and I respect that. Nice image! |

Sanford, a fun exercise in creating a watercolor image! Plug-ins have come a long way since I started playing with this five years ago. The image is quite delightful to view. Kudos! What app and plug-in did you use? |

Ian, a nice venture into an interesting niche. An IR image benefits from the same tonal strengths b&w images do. You have a black road (leading line), a grey grass area, and white in the higher tree crowns. Just like other landscapes, I believe you should crop the image from the top so the sky does not show. I would also burn the far sky at the end of the road for more contrast within the image, creating something for the eye to be drawn to. |
