The blownout highlights in the top right are a little distracting.

Any thoughts on this night panorama of the memorial? Do the ghosted

images of some of the people viewing the memorial cause distractions?

 

Thanks,

Quin

Thoughts? Should the small outcropping of the trees on the right edge

be cropped out?

thanks,

Quin

Any thoughts? Is the moon distracting in respect to it's positioning?

thanks,

Quin

Thanks for the comments....unfortunately, it's difficult to get this image right at sunset as Don suggested as the ship sails sunset cruises at night and typically returns after most of the color is gone. I'm not sure what you mean about having it fill more of the frame, unless you are suggesting to crop it tightly from the sides. This image had just a little bit of cropping of the foreground, but otherwise this is essentially a full frame shot.

Any thoughts on this long exposure image?? Are the boats to the left

border of the photo distracting?

thanks,

Quin

In honor of Lance's attempt at number 6. This was taken during the

warm-up laps prior to the NYC Cycling Championships. Any thoughts??

Once I realized it was a mannequin, it completely made the picture.

You can almost feel the heat....the motion in the flames really catches the eye.

That rock that he's about to hit can't be a very good thing :) Were you on dry ground for this shot?

Does the cropping of the wheels on the racing chair cause too much of

a distraction in this image?

thanks,

Quin

interesting picture, but the litter in the lower right part of the walkway is a little distracting

The ray of light coming from the Eiffel Tower is a nice touch.

Any thoughts?

Not sure I could have gotten the reflection too much stronger, but I

like the feel of this. Wish she had her head up. Any thoughts?

Does the utility pole in the left side of the image create too much of

a distraction as the pole and it's reflection runs from the top border

of the image to the bottom border?? Unfortunately from where I was

shooting, there wasn't really any room to move to not get this effect

(I was on a dock that had several tall pilings for temporary docking

every couple of feet). I also took a shorter panorama that does not

go as far over, but I think it loses a little without the channel that

wraps around the fishing shack. Any thoughts would be greatly

appreciated.

Frank, that may be from the compression a little bit...in the original image before resizing and compressing, the neck and the legs are sharp with the head and wings being much less sharp from movement blur. Thanks for the critique.

very nice shot....you can feel the height

that's gonna leave a mark.....i like the action, but the background seems a little busy

Any and all critiques would be welcome - does the brightness of the

water highlights in the upper left quarter detract from the egret?

In going back to touch it up a little bit more, I decreased the blue in the ice (about -10 or so - can't remember off the top of my head) which helped improve the ice. A graduated neutral density filter would have definitely helped. Thanks for the comments.

Nice job....did the eagle end up coming up with a fish?

This is part of the ice flow that has kept ferry service to New York

from the Jersey shore closed this past January. I liked the

combination of broken ice flows with the rays of the sun pouring

through the clouds. I'm not sure if the ice flows need to be

lightened a little bit more or not. Any suggestions?

I've tried this as a black and white, but think that the color image

may work a little bit better due to the greyish/silver paint job this

plane had....any thoughts?

Lance Armstrong sprints out of the turn at Water Street and John

Street.
