    Welcome to the Wednesday Comments and Critique (No Theme & No Brand) thread!

    We are dedicated to continuing the great tradition of this C&C thread because we are convinced that looking at, and talking about images is vital for better photography.

    Our tried and tested concept (almost 17 years and running!) is a weekly "peer-to-peer" photo comments & critique encounter, in which you GIVE and RECEIVE.

    The idea is simple: you post a photo or photo-based image that you have made and get critique on it. And in return you give other people your honest but constructive opinion of their images.

    Any Theme, Any Camera, Any Style, Any Subject.

    We are still figuring out how to create the convenience of threaded view on this new forum.
    For now, let us agree that you post an image or essay with a title and short explanation, and that all comments include the image as a quote.
    Replies to comments may or may not include quotes.

    THREAD GUIDELINES – THE SHORT & SWEET VERSION
    • This thread does not care about brands. It’s not about the tool, but the image.
    • Post one image or essay that you have made and would like to get comments on.
    An entry can either be a single image or a short essay. With an essay we mean not a collection of random images without any connection, seeking C&C on more than one of them. We mean instead a limited number (3 to 10) of connected images that together try to tell a story, create a fuller picture of a situation, event or location, etc.
    • Add a clear title to your post to distinguish your entry.
    • Look at the other images/essays and give your comments on at least one of those.
    • For comments, try to go beyond a simple pat on the back or a short dismissal.
    • Do you like an image (or essay) ? Try to explain WHY it appeals to you.
    • Negative feedback is OK (we all want to learn), but be polite and constructive. Try to explain why the image (or essay) does not appeal to you and how it might be improved.
    • Please stay on topic, i.e. concentrate on the image and the photographic comments, without getting into politics or other distractions. No non-photographic arguments.

    The critique you give is vital.
    What was your first impression? What catches your eye about an image? Why?
    What do you like, and what distracts you? What would you change?

    Fiddle with the image in your head - composition, perspective, color balance, exposure.


    PLEASE NOTE CLEARLY:*
    Unless the original poster specifically states (for every individual posting offered for C&C) that they do not want their image(s) to be downloaded, altered or reposted, it is understood that within the context of this thread, other participants are free to download and alter the posted image and repost it in a reply for C&C purposes. That reposted image may remain permanently within the week's thread, or you may remove it after a short period of time if you prefer. The downloaded and altered images are not to be used for any other purposes nor uploaded anywhere else than within the context of the C&C in this thread. No copyright disputes here!

    Encourage - it is a scary business putting your work up for other people to judge!

    More general feedback is also welcome.
    Do you know something about taking the same sort of image that would make matters easier - share your own as an example in your reply.

    Have fun, be respectful and let’s stick together!

    Yesterday, I had my first serious go at birds in flight. We visited a farm where they feed red kites, so plenty of opportunities. Out of the 330+ images, I got a few worthy of processing. Here's some of them.

    Just back from visit with relatives who live on a 250 year old farm in Pennsylvania. One of my favorite things to do there is explore the old barn where two centuries of family "stuff" is stored amid the workings of an apple farm and cider operation from the late 1800's through the mid century 1900s.

    Classic. Love the windows, the sun beaming through and the shadows. Just beautiful.

    The shape resembles the heart, if that has any meaning. The buildings on the top are great addition to the image. Well seen.

    The Mysterious Castle

    On a recent rail journey to Berlin, a castle mysteriously appeared, which I had never seen before.

    The explanation was banal, of course. Due to working on the main line, our train had been diverted down the back tracks, taking us past the Marienburg, which was a present from the King of Hanover to his Queen Marie. (Yes, Darling, I know I have never been THAT generous on your birthday....)

    I decided to process the image in B&W and enhance the mysterious appearance of the castle.

    Ocean Front

    Dusk in Carlsbad, CA. Homes directly on the beach.

    Mere millionaires need not apply. And though it's the law, public beach access isn't concerning.

    Perfect capture and I think this image can successfully participate in "funniest animal images" competition :)

    Very well done! Love the result. The composition is excellent and the square format (crop?) a good choice.

    Wow - the lighting and warm look is superb. Well seen and captured - really manages to evokes a feeling of nostalgia.
