Nice image Andrew and I appreciate the Telluride history as well. I luv shooting these old mechanical things, it really does make you appreciate the craftsmanship that went into it. Others have mentioned sharpening clarity adjustments that I agree would improve the shot, esp. I wish that large gear on the left were sharper, it's such a prominent feature. |

Nice shot; orchids can be tricky, there is so much depth to choose from - petal, stamen, etc. I like your crop, the way the right/top petal fades into the background. Maybe to reduce the bright spots in the background, depending on your editing software you could reduce the luminosity of the green channel. |

Nice candid portrait shot. You captured the mood and present a nice story. The eye softness doesn't bother me, the tears may help explain the softness. Cindy's suggestions/edits do work well. |

Nice image, Nelson. I think the square format works well for this flower. Judging from your description, this was probably an IR shot? And the built in 'Art' preset only produced a jpeg, or did you have a choice? Just wondering what a RAW file processed in Capture One would have looked like in comparison. I like the water drops, they add a lot of interest to the image. Your image, like mine, shot at f5.6 may have lost some depth of field; f8 may have given you more sharpness in the center. I agree that some of white splotches in the upper background are a little distracting. |

Nice detail and color. Succulents make good subject matter. I like the lines of the fountain that flow well with plants but I agree with Cindy that showing the bottom of the donkey tails would strengthen the composition. |

Thanks Marcela, for sure the softness is there, probably due to the f5.6 aperture. Probably could have bumped it up a little more, maybe even f8 but I was so worried about movement, I went for that high shutter speed. |

Beautiful image, Denise. Your decision to move beyond the black background was a good one and I think it truly brings out the painterly effect you were going for. |

Nice image Carol. Beautiful color and I like your creative use of f4.5. The webinar has succeeded in showing you what to focus on, instead of just shooting the flower. Hang in there for the nay-sayers; they have already driven away some good photographers and that shouldn't be. |
