Great picture. Nothing more I could say.
For the crop. I should say that you have done a nice job. I also like Terry's idea to flip it. But I don't like to cut the end of the road. So if you like idea of flipping, maybe just simply flip it.
I also like Jason's crop. But then it is too little stuff in the picture. I do feel that it is better to keep the chair.
Cheers... |

Hi Alan,
It is a great view. I don't have much to say as the other folks have mentioned those. Basically a bit strong on the shadow and the weight of the composition.
Frankly I am not that into Jason's crop. I tried it myself, i.e. portrait crop, etc. I am not able to make one satisfied. So I would suggest just leave it there. No need to always follow the 'traditional' rule.
On the shadow side. I might not like the way to remove the shadow, as it looks not nature. I might select the shadow itself, and only bring up the details within the selection. (Someone in this group did this previously).
Cheers. |

Hi Jason,
Great work. In my memory, Jason is always with the nature, the sun, moon, horses, birds...LOL. Now it comes to the street.
It is a good catch, and I like the motion of the car, and also the conversion to the BNW.
The background seems a little noisy (Well that is the nature of street photo, so not an issue). I would also like to see a little more separation between the subject and the background if possible.
One option is to burr the further part of the street a little bit.
But I might try another option as to darken, and reduce the contrast of the deep far of the street (on the right hand side)
On the other hand, I feel that it might be possible to brighten the whole background a little bit (little bit is always important), and reduce the contrast a little of that, by leaving the couple as is. I hope that can improve the separation a little. So that the couple can pop out and catch the eyes.
Cheers... |

Congratulations on the new Camera. It is a good camera, and a good lens too.
The recovery of the sky is nicely done. The picture is full of color. I also like the layers of the forest.
I feel that there is some issue on the composition. It is a bit heavy, a bit tight and not balanced. I would cut a bit on the left, and might expand the right hand side to make some room for the balloons to fly away...
I believed that you had leveled the picture. Maybe because of the mountain, I feel that the horizon seems not right in particular when looking at the big house. Jason's version seems fixed that issue.
Lastly, I might blur the last two balloons in different degree. The further, the more blur. That will simulate the nature of how we see the distant objects, also guide the eyes of the views moving from one balloon to the other...
2 cents and cheers,

Hi Terry. This is very creative. I love it. I might give it a try next time. And I like the 'Did he fool me?' sign.
The newspaper is too straight forward to me. It comes with a benefit to see more of the picture. But to make it more real, I would suggest to switch the angle a little bit, so that viewer won't straightly look at the picture. Or, maybe add a something to the picture together with the newspaper, i.e. a pen, a cup of coffee, glasses, etc.
I might convert picture into BNW with the title of the newspaper in color, to make the newspaper looks more real...
Great work. |
