Hi Peter, very nice!  The white in top right looks like it is clipped so if you print this you will probably have bare paper with no ink there.  I pulled it back and added a little blue.

Hi Jim.  This tells the story even without a title.  Very good!  What Eric did with her eyes really brought it to life.

Nice!  congrats!

Hey, thanks for looking and commenting!

Peter, I enjoy looking at your abstract shots but it not my mug of beer, to speak.

Jasneka, Dahlia and Deidra, There are two different sets of parallel horizontal lines at different angles in this. I had straightened the seawall and horizon in Lightroom but did not know it is possible to correct 2…[Read more]

Nice, congrats!

Hi Erik, I agree the wall has to go.  Thanks!

Hi Rob, this is cool!  Not sure if I like the blurred stuff on the bottom but I keep coming back for more looks.

Hi Anne and thanks for looking and for your edit too.   I like seeing the texture of her “dress” in your edit.  I also like what you have done with the wall.  My wife mentioned that on a runway at a Paris fashion show her outfit would be cool and expensive.   BTW, when people in her group pass out their buddies take their clothes so they wear…[Read more]

The darker band of red above the horizon is pollution from our electrical plant and I want to include the smoke as part of the environment. I agree that it needs more smoke and that’s worth playing with. Probably…[Read more]

I really liked this when I saw it on Flickr and still do.  ST…  I wonder about the sparkly things in the black background?

@admin  Hi Rob, no, not upset.  I managed to press the shutter just as he glanced at the camera.   This a 2 minute walk from my house and I have been shooting them for over 10 years.  They are not tourist friendly but I keep out of the way and they tolerate me.

Thank you all for the ideas. Here is what I ended up with. The bird is gone and the upper right corner is cleaned up. This woman was incoherent. No way to ask for permission. I left her face in the shadows and unrecognizable. I shoot lots of street shots but I don’t know why this one bothers me so much. It will be in a book/collection with with…[Read more]

Great idea!  I would like to see something with an exposure in between the two.

Hi Peter, good idea.  I added some to the left also to keep the 1×1 aspect ratio. 

Hi, Skreit, I agree with Peter… I would like a focal point.

Dahila,  there was a bit more.  This feels better.  Thanks!
