Nice job, Jeff. You've had better luck with Fluid Mask than I have. I just can't seem to get it to do what I want... but I'm still learning too. I really like the spooky feeling to this image.

Simply stunning! Every now and then I see a landscape that makes me wish I was right there. This is one of those images. Beautiful!

Comments and critiques welcome. Thanks! :-)

I really like the composition of this one, Jeffrey. You've done a great job at capturing the grace of these fairly large birds. Wonderful!

Comments appreciated. Thanks! :-)

Thank you for taking the time to comment on my photo. My background is in black and white film and learning to use color this way is new to me so your comment means a lot. Thanks! :-)

Wonderful composition and use of color (as usual). :-)

 

I always look forward to seeing your new work.

I came by to thank you for commenting on and rating my photos and to check out your portfolio and this image really stood out. Beyond all the technical and compositional qualities (which are very good!) it is also very emotionally compelling. To me, you've done a great job at symbolizing those awkward "tween" years when you're still a child but want desperately to be an adult. Her posture seems very grown up but the way she's looking off to the side says she's not quite certain. And, train tracks have always symbolized a journey but you've chosen a very shallow DOF which makes the destination hard to see. Wonderful image!

My son lives for Hot Wheels cars and was very proud to have earned

this one. Thanks for looking! :-)

Beautiful, Marta! I love the combination of the warm and cool colors and the water drops look like tiny jewels. Your work is very inspirational! :-)

A very strong image, Jose! I agree that the high contrast works really well here. The only thing I find distracting is that giant truck. But, that's a small detail in an otherwise excellent photograph.

C&C welcome, thank you :-)

Wow, what a great perspective, Floriana!

Comments and suggestions for improvement welcome! Thanks for

looking :-)

I thought I'd try something a little bit different (for me at least) so I'd love

to know your opinions or suggestions for improvement. Thanks :-)

Another magical piece of Art! Her dress has such a nice sense of movement to it.

Thanks Saleem :-)

Thanks for your comments :-)

In a manner of speaking, yes. It's a fine mesh wire screen that fits into the window frame so that when you open the glass bugs won't get in the house.

Arnulf, in answer to your question, I adjusted the brightness and contrast, burned around the edges, cloned out some large black marks on the screen that were distracting and then cropped.

Your comments are appreciated, thank you!

This is a shot of the smoke from the fire in the Santa Cruz mountains as

it blew into San Jose last evening. The light had a very eerie quality that

turned the whole neighborhood into sepia tone. This was my best

attempt at capturing it. What do you think?
