Stephen Phillips from San Francisco, United StatesAmazing colors - Michael. I might suggest cropping off the top 20% and the right side 10% - to just above and outside the antenna - to give even more punch to your subjects and their colors. Still - a fine image. 3 Jul 2008 5:54am @Stephen Phillips: Thanks, Stephen. The suggestion of cropping is a good one. I liked the background so much I also wanted to retain it. Stephen Phillips from San Francisco, United StatesAmazing colors - Michael - a fine image. 3 Jul 2008 5:55am @Stephen Phillips: Thanks, Stephen. @Ana Lúcia: Thank you, Ana Lúcia. Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, FranceJe suis d'accord avec Stephen pour le recadrage car le sujet est un peu trop centré, mais c'est vrai aussi que le fond est très beau et est presque un sujet à lui seul et je comprend ton choix. 3 Jul 2008 7:39am @Evelyne Dubos: Merci, Evelyne. Il est parfois difficile d'enlever des parties d'une photo qu' on aime. Dada from SlovakiaMichael, I´m proud on my levander.

Twelvebit from Victoria, United StatesVery nice. I just ordered myself some macro filters and intend to do a little macro work myself. Personally, I think the cropping suggested by SP might tighten the image up a little too much. 7 Jul 2008 3:49pm @Twelvebit: I agree. Thank you, 12bit. |
