62 Mar 26 Comment Chris

There is nothing like shooting indoors when the outdoors is uninviting weatherwise.

This image is challenge in BW because the stamen (i am not sure if that is the correct term) standout so much and the cactus flower itself is somewhat soft in texture.

My thought was to crop and then flip the image horizontally so the stamen grab your eye and lead you into the cactus.

62 Mar 26 Comment Kamal,

I am impressed that you pilot a help. Good for you.

I like your view of the Science City. Nice straight on shot that moves the architectural detail

62 Mar 26 Reply Pete,

Your version reminds me of a shot at dusk. There are many ways to slice and dice it.

Thanks

62 Mar 26 Reply Thanks for giving it a go in sepia Michael. It looks like an old time photo that fits the rural area.

62 Mar 26 Comment Mark,

An amazing construct that shot perfectly.

Can you tell me what the three dark objects that run the length of your image; are they pipes or water channels?

Thanks

62 Mar 26 Comment Pete,

You and Adrian are keeping me up at night with subjects in shadows.

I have commented on Adrian's image now it is your turn.

I think your paddling lads should be in silhouette since they are below the dark "tunnel' and you darkened the frame corners.

The interesting thing is my eye goes to them first which is counter intuitive. Your eye normally goes to bright areas first.

I like your treatment here

I like everything about this image - The question in my mind is should your subject be in the shadows due to the glass in front of her or should she be more apparent or not? I don't know if there is any artistic rules about this but I am interested in what our group thinks. I am in the camp to open her up a bit more since her top is partially visible already.

See my version

Where was this taken out of curiosity?

This is an amazing sequence - Top Hat is going one and the couple the other and don't seem to acknowledge him or want to. A story with many facets.

Well done. I will stick to landscapes it has much less drama.

I like this pond scene and there are such beautiful puffy clouds on the horizon.

I am with Arik, they need to pumped up some to bring them back into position of prominence

Love your take on this iconic ghost town... would love to visit Bodie for just n hour but it is a bridge too far for me

Food for thought: I selected the background in LR and dropped the exposure just a bit to bring out the details in the brush, I selected the roof of the first building and dropped the highlights quite a bit yo lower its intensity and finally i lowered the scene exposure by .5 stop.

The sights you have seen and photographed in the Far East are simply incredible.You are so fortunate to have the ability to see such exotic places.

Love the composition into the walkway using the portal. Two thoughts: I did an auto transform in LR to level the view and I added a vignettes to darken the portal frame.

Perfect IR scene. Foliage, a path, and a model biking towards you You had a good day

Food for thought: I added a vignette using LR and I brushed the biker's shirt and increased its exposure just a bit to make him standout more

Well done

Wonderful experience and wonderful scene from Serengeti

I agree with Arik re animal(s) at left side of frame. The solution is to simply remove them.

Regards

66 Mar 26 Comment Arik

Wonderful find and these buildings are maintained so future shots are probable

Food for thought for you Arik. I selected the front wall of the closest barn in LR and raised the shadows, highlights and the exposure just a bit to open it up without losing the nice shadows to attract the eye. I then selected the side and lowered the exposure a bit and the highlights some to tame it down.

Enjoy your drone shooting.
