27 Aug 22 Reply I like it.. really didn't loose a whole lot on the left or up front. Aug 25th
27 Aug 22 Comment Well done, good interest and technique with angle and sharpness. Aug 24th
27 Aug 22 Comment I like the composition, it works very nicely for this image. The color palette for the image is lovely with the only bothersome part for me is the big brown patch at the bottom. Aug 24th
27 Aug 22 Comment The flames look very nice. Did you try just dodging certain areas that you wanted to lighten instead of using a global adjustment? Aug 24th
27 Aug 22 Comment When I first looked at the image, my first thought was, what an interesting background, where did he find that. Great idea of using one of the petals! Excellent technique as always, well done. I don't know if extending the bottom stem would help or hurt the image. Aug 24th
27 Aug 22 Comment The bikers really add to the overall scene with them going into the fog (unknown from a distance). Not sure if I would change a thing, excellent capture. Aug 24th
27 Aug 22 Comment Very cool subject and I think your crop is fine, probably could be a couple of ways. I think you could add additional contrast, clarity, texture and vibrance to make it pop a little more. Aug 24th
27 Aug 22 Reply I think you did a nice job on the cabin, not wild about the sky, for me too much detail. Aug 15th
27 Aug 22 Reply I think you tried some similar things to help the barn. However, I preferred a darker foreground so it didn't grab your eyes too much. Now my barn and mountains are both a bit mid tone. Aug 9th
27 Aug 22 Reply Thank you and I agree.. played around with a few things but with no luck. Aug 4th

44 Aug 22 Reply When I wrote an article for the Journal several years ago I included an Olympus M43 and thoroughly enjoyed it. I also tested the Fuji and I thought I would like the retro feel but just didn't. I went the Sony route after converting from a Nikon D800 full frame. Once the a9 and lenses for birding, I sold my remaining Nikon gear. At this point it would very expensive to convert my 3 bodies, 9+ lenses and accessories. Interesting is I regret buying the 2 f2.8 G-Master zooms, 24-70 & 16-35 because they are heavy and require 100mm filters. The f4 equivalent were sharp enough and used 75mm filters. Plus I have the a7R4 and really don't need all those megapixels. I have thought about selling it and buying a telescope. Aug 26th
44 Aug 22 Reply definitely helps the foreground.. Aug 25th
44 Aug 22 Reply Very cool, never heard of that location. Aug 24th
44 Aug 22 Comment The flow of yellow with the surrounding colors is very cool. The lake still looks a little odd, maybe because of so many lines/ripples. I went to Yellowstone briefly back in 2019 as my daughter and I passed through the park from the Tetons. We did stop at one geyser so from my recollection, the colors seem very accurate. Aug 24th
44 Aug 22 Reply yes, very fascinating. Aug 24th
44 Aug 22 Comment This scenes always are fun to find since they 100% lend themselves to HDR or blending. The overall blend looks really good except for a little bit of blue on the door to the left and right. Really like the hotel instead of having a plain building. Aug 24th
44 Aug 22 Comment Overall the blend looks good but as you said, a little bit on the grunge side. That probably accounts for the bright green bushes on the right. The seagull really adds to the scene and is almost 3D. Aug 24th
44 Aug 22 Comment Not a lot of impact but I love the colors in the rocks, is the area on the right that vibrant normally?
A small leading runoff and bush moves your eyes through the scene.		 Aug 24th
44 Aug 22 Comment Interesting and I definitely agree with Rick, the greens are pretty strong.
A little bit of a merger with the rock below, but not really a big issue.
Curious why this statue is there, was this a temporary art exhibit?		 Aug 24th
44 Aug 22 Reply Interesting, I have never photographed it at Sunrise, just schwabacher landing (small crowd). I have been to the barn twice for sunset, once wonderful and this stormy one. Aug 24th
44 Aug 22 Reply WOW, that is a lot of contrast! Aug 15th
