Thank you Rose Marie!

Much better without the spec, hahaha!  Nice shot and colors!

WOW, this has been an interesting critique, thanks everyone! I used your ideas to make some minor changes.

I got to thinking that the meaningless writing in the lower left corner is meaningless and I kinda like it that way. The writing seemed to be a bit to bright so I used a graduated filter and lowered the highlights just a tad.

I increased…[Read more]

I shot this again this AM from a different angle leaving out the tables and lightened the hole a bit to show the beams on the ceiling but I think I agree with Fedrico, I like the black hole.  All of the graffiti is included here.  I’m kinda leaning toward this one but with the black hole.  What say  you?

Jim, I know to change the colors but as you mentioned I’m not into that much processing.   Thanks for the comment.

@falxy  lucky for me the people here love having their photos taken but sometimes it’s PIA with thumbs up and peace signs.  I have probably taken 1,000 frames of her over the last 5 years.  I was difficult enough to “train”  her t…[Read more]

Nice shot Frank and the compo feels good.  My suggestion would be to remove the stick/post that is in the sky on the right.

Hi Anne, I lightened the hand and like it.  Thanks!  I removed the letters on the shirt but didn’t care for manipulating the environment like that.

Jasenka, thanks for keeping me on the straight an level!  I’m printing this in an expensive book so it’s nice to fix it before printing so this forum is perfect to double check stuff.  Rob the rest of the bottom is ugly.

congrats!

Graham, my photoshop skills are nothing like yours!  I won’t even attempt anything close to your “rough” version but thank you for showing what can be done  by an expert!

Frank, I want to show the environment not just a person in front of a concrete wall but mucho thanks for the effort!

Thank you all for looking and commenting.   Robert and Rob, that is what I will do.  I won’t post it as it looks like Rob’s edit.  I tried it in Photoshop but couldn’t get a clean edge which I’m sure is my lack of expertise but it worked in LR too.   I still would prefer not to have the rag but “you can’t always get what you want but somet…[Read more]

Hi Jim, looks to me like you nailed it with your first shot.  No face for the subject works well.  I wouldn’t mess with it.

My fav is Erik’s crop and processing but I would like to see it in BW too.  Some of the other crops look good too but I don’t care for the rail crowding the top in some of them.

Thanks for the rule breaking comments!  There is no more to add on the right but it would be nice wouldn’t it?  Frank, I will see what it looks like with the light streaks removed but I kinda like that it shows he has holes in his hat so maybe just lower the brightness.

Nice one!  Looks good on a monitor.  I might be tempted to take a little off the left to get the surfer a little off center.

Congrats Diane!!!
