Tom Wiggins Photography

John: This is a tranquil scene, but not up the the quality of your last two, but still good.  Guess you didn't get early enough. Tom

John: Great color and reflection!  Tom

John: Simply Beautiful!  Great color!  Tom

Charles: Interesting patterns of light.  Good eye. Tom

John: I like facial expression, it's cheeky.  Not sure where the camera focused, I find her face not a sharp as rest of the photo.  Tom

Charles:  Good use of DOF!  Tom

John:  What a nice peaceful spot.  Good composition, just love the clouds on the mountain top.  Tom

Lannie:  Great detail and lighting, the afternoon sun gives a nice rich tone.  Tom

Gregory: Good composition, and use of DOF.  The sharpness of the frost crystals is excellent.  Tom

Magnus; Godo composition, natural color and use of DOF.  Tom

Monte: WOW, you caught the splash, great timing.  Tom

Charles: Nicely captured! Just wish the dragonfly was sharper, but I know that sometimes that hard to do. I do think a slower shutter speed (1/1600 just to fast) and smaller aperture would have give a better photo. Tom

Mary:  Good fall colors!  The soft focus works. Tom

John: Good composition, I would likely removed the walkers and they add nothing, but that being picky. Good overall exposure and sharpness.  Tom

John: I very much like the color saturation, good use of DOF to make the model standout form the background.  Where do you find all of the beautiful women?  Tom

Liz:  I like the photo, but not sure it's really HDR.  Did you use multiple exposures say 1EV apart?   I just don't the see the full range of exposure I'd would expect.  Tom

John:  Wow, I love the soft colors and the graininess.  Tom

Liz: Very well done portrait!  Tom

Lannie: Thank you. Photoshop can be such a help.  Using Raw I combined two images one exposed for the statue and the other for the background.  Tom

Lannie: Great idea, I'll have to work on that when I retire.  Tom

Lannie: Either way it is still a good photo!  Tom

Lannie:  Good composition, very typical of rural American.  Seen much of the same in parts of MD, PA, upstate NY.  I agree that a using a longer shot could have been better, the impact of  clutter would have been less.  I do feel that an adjustment to the mid-point in levels would help. Tom

Simon:  Thank you for your comment, I agree that might help make it a better composition. 

Liz: Thank you for the explanation.  Now the photo makes perfect sense.  Tom
