I think that image would appeal to me more if all the fungiii were in focus rather than only one. Try stopping down some to get a deeper depth of subject(s) imo.

I think you're right... Thanks for the tips!

Getting in the last fishing of the season.



It's a little bright but i think i did about as much help as i could in Aperture 3 (at least at my experience level).

Curious if you sharpen for the web at all? it looks like a little sharpening for online display would help out this image.

You may be right. As a relic of the film age, the idea of 'sharpening' an image strikes a wrong note...

The Shears: an old pub hidden in the maze of old textile mills in West Yorkshire...

Does anyone have any advice for this one? I'm thinking it needs to be cropped....

Maybe crop the left hand side of the photo. That one branch with the dying leaves on the extreme left may take something away from the main object. Just a thought.

A barn remaining from the Western State Hospital farm.
From 1915 to 1965 Western State Hospital maintained a working farm that supplied food and provided occupational therapy for the mentally ill housed there. The advent of modern anti-psycotic drugs reduced the hospital's long term population and the farm was no longer profitable. The remaining buildings and the cemetery are now part of a city park.

@otter: Your B&W's are very nice. Both of them

The ghost (a person?) in the foreground is very distracting to me. Other than that, I love it and i think this is a great use of HDR.


Mine for the day:



I was playing with my new lens when i took this and was having a ball with the DOF. I don't know that such a shallow DOF really worked in this situation though. What do you think?

Went to a local nature preserve and tried taking pictures of moving water for the first time. Once the leaves begin to change color, that should add some needed contrast.

I love this shot, the colors, etc. Just wondering if a little crop on the bottom to remove the white branches would make this top notch.
Showing lots of sky but that works for me.

Here's mine for the month:

The best time to crop, IMO, is in the camera: find a viewpoint, if possible, just in front of the branches. It's a beautiful location...

Great timing; makes me smile...

With shallow DoF you're kinda making a promise to the viewer that there'll be something interesting at the point of sharpest focus. So this doesn't quite work for me...

Graceful bird, lovely pic... but maybe cropped too tightly top and bottom?
