Capitol Reef in Utah. Sunset. No photographer can capture the beauty

and solitiude of this place. Comments appreciated.

Taken mid-day, and as straight black and white print lighting was too

flat. Adjusted in PS to bring out the drama of the scene that the

film did not.

Taken with P&S. Manipulated for effect in PS. Comments appreciated.

Comments appreciated.

Thanks John.

This is a reposting of one I which I received an excellent suggestion

(thanks Jim) that the color seemed to blue. I did some adjustment in

PS, but color gives me a lot of trouble so I may not have this right.

Comments and suggestions very much appreciated.

Go here if you can. Cohab canyon actually begins high up the side of

a hill and is said to have been a hiding place for polygamists

escaping the law. The beauty of this place is beyond anything a

photograph can depict.

Thanks for the comment. As to the b&w, I have tried that but surprisingly it did not work. Notice there is a lot of pattern in this picture, and the color provides separation. In b&w, it becomes very busy. When I get a chance, I will post one so you can seel what I mean.

Small crop from picture taken from train at station in Namur Belgium.

Comments/suggestions appreciated.

This has been a difficult image to work with. I like the image and

some but not all of the lighting. It was late afternoon, and I was

shooting into the sun, which I tried to deal with my placing the light

behind one of the trees to the left of the tower. But it was a tough

exposure (on film) because of the extremely high contrast of the scene

involving both direct sun and shade where I wanted some detail. PS

adsjustment limited to the kind of dodging and burning that would be

done through traditional print processing.

Comments/suggestions/criticisms appreciated.

Great eye.

Shot under very flat lighting. Manipulated in PS to bring out shapes

and light. Comments/criticisms very much appreciated.

Red filter on fisheye lens to bring out contrast, solarized (partial)

and toned in PS. Comments very much appreciated.

Yes, toned in PS.

Fisheye with red filter to bring out contrast. Comments very much

apprciated.

Stunning shot with absolutely perfect balance of tones and lines.

Comments appreciated

Terrific use of lens to achieve an effect.

It is very beautiful and nearly perfect. But you asked twice for suggestions, so I will offer one. I think a less vertical image showing more sky would be even more effective. Not quite a square image, but a little more in that direction.

Strong afternoon light and backlighting. Red filter, and further

contrast boost in PS. Comments appreciated.

Yes, red filter, late afternoon light, with a further boost in contrast in PS.

Stunning image with beautiful tonality. Nicely done.

Wonderful image. The background is just a little bit distracting, though, so you might see how it looks if you increase the contrast and create a darker background with less detail. This would help the flower stand out even more.

This is a superb portrait. The one very slight flaw is the lines to the left of the head. See if you can remove these. Also, work a little on the shadow so it is pure black. Great job.

Great use of color. As it is, a fine image, but I have a feeling you can tweak the lines/composition a bit to make it even more effective. Try cropping some of the let and the top of the picture.
