I agree that the images I post are darker than the originals. May be due to the loss of information in preparing the photo for the web. Maybe we should make them brighter than they ought to be before uploading.

Great lighting with dramatic sky and good composition. Unfortunately appears tilted. Grain is also a problem but that may be the scan or my monitor.

Cute photo. Good Job.

It was getting sunny so I decided to take some shots in a totally

shaded area so I wouldn't get hot spots from the sun. Used a

circular polarizer, but still got reflections/hot spots. Any

suggestions for correcting this in-camera next time?

Kevin, Good composition. I have seen a similar photo recently that uses a graduated neutral density filter (I think it was at JohnShawphoto.com)and the barn really popped out at you. Good job. Editing my comment. If the photo I saw was on John Shaw's website then it is no longer there or I missed it. I will tell you where to look if I find it again.

Great DOF on this shot. How did you manage to get it sharp throughout? When I shoot a close-up like this normally I get only an edge that is sharp. Great job.

Wow, great perspective. Good angle with the direction the sheep are taking and the diagonal of the land as it appears against the ice field. I am in awe thinking that I won't ever be in a position to take this photograph, because I don't hike more than a mile or two from the car. Great job.

This could even be right on the exposure. I will typically shoot the suggested exposure then do a couple of shots either adding light or taking away light depending on the situation. In this case it was early morning (pre-dawn) and this is how the scene appeared. I have several lighter and darker versions of this, but this one was best. Thank you for your comment. And two or three times a year we do get purple sunrise and sunset.

Nice idea, but the trees my di better closer to the edge or as the edge of the photo.

Scratches and dust on the scanned image need to be cleaned up and the center section is too bright where the dog is looking. the composition is good. Sort of a cold and lonesome feeling being portrayed.

Feathers do make a nice pattern. Unfortunately the grain or bad scan or whatever it is, is very distracting

You do manage to get incredible color. this has a great reflection in the water and the sky is wonderful, but the fence is keeping me out. You may not have been able to get down to the waters edge, but the Photograph had to be taken anyway even if you were kept out.

Excellent vista. A lot of photographs could come out of this one spot. Was the wind blowing some ,because the grass appears to be blurred a little and that bothers me a little and I think the cottage is a little blown out maybe even just decreasing brightness a little. I love the photograph and the setting. Good job.

Interesting angle to approach this from. Not too many shots are eye to eye with the bee. Probably not much morecould have been done with your depth of filed, but I would like the photo even more if the leading/front petals of the flower were also in focus.

This is a great shot with lots of feeling to to it. If you can get rid of those houses in the distance That will (in my opinion) make this an even stronger photo. Good job.

Nice to have a photo of the twin towers in your possession. They do appear slightly tilted though. Could be due to the angle on the bridge.

I like the flow of the tree trunk/branch through the picture. Diagonals seem pleasing. Dark objects being surrounded by lighter ones distract from the composition? I have many sunsets where the silohette is surrounded by lighter objects and that is usually very pleasing. I am not sure you can make a hard and fast rule about that and the soft gray of the shaded maple is not in hard contrast to the leaves anyway. Pleasing composition.

Good differences in color on the rocks. Lines are great, pulls you through the photo. I want to develop your eye in the field. Very talented.

Did you purposely use the right index digit (digit r. i.) or am I reaching for it? Fun Image.

November 7, 2003

Cool Lizard. Ready to go step to step. As I was about to leave I glanced and saw this as a photograph from above, instead of the wall with the steps built in. Makes me stop and think. Great job.

November 7, 2003

Was this digitally manipulated? Sorry wierd sense of humor. Good job.

November 7, 2003

Wonderful composition. The fog reflected on the water is fantastic with the greater light starting to come in from the right and the direction of the rowboat leading us to the light. Keep up the good work.

Don't really know why I like this image. It is blurry, but that seems to add to the feeling/emotion the subject was going through. Makes me smile. Good job.
