Well done, Diana. I especially like the way you have composed this with the grass-head on a slanting diagonal. Mister Ken

I've tried these raindrop shots and have never had much success (drops slightly out-of-focus, interfering background, etc). This is really nicely done. (I do have a spring of 2002 willow tree image that I will share). Mister Ken

The violation of the standard rules with the pillar in the middle works well with this image, especially with the spotlit figure. Well done, Ayse. Mister Ken

Hi Rafi - I placed the camera directly on the aquarium glass and shot w/o flash at 1/60s f1.8. I took several shots because even thou the cuttlefish does not dart about it moved enough so that few came out without blurring. - Ken

Very nicely done, Jim. You have managed to retain both shadow detail in the pond and highlight detail in the sky while providing us a very pleasant composition. Regards, Mister Ken

You are welcome James. I plan to do more experiments with this approach. I have been re-shooting favorite subjects (Bay trees, woods, etc) and this technique has all sorts of possibilities, even though I initially thought the filter was red but was actually green (Infra-green?). It's dark enought that you cannot see through it. Regards, Mister Ken

I like your fish shots, Rafi. Your flash served you well here (with just a bit of burn on the fish) allowing for the fast shutter speed necessary to capture a moving target. some day you might visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium, in my neck of the sea. Attached from there. Regards, Mister Ken

Hi Bikram - This reminds me of burned areas I visited many years ago that appeared to be totally beyond repair to be followed the next spring by a burst of new growth including the reappearance of quail and other animal life that had not been seen for years before. Yes, fire can give as well as take away. Thanks for stopping by 'At Saqqara.' I visited Egypt in 2001 but recently got a new plug-in for Photoshop that does a much better job of removing digital noise inherent to the camera. I have not posted much from my sojourn to Egypt because of the problem with my Olympus 3000 and excessive (especially sky) noise. I've also been sidetracked by my professional activities as a statistician/chemist trying to rework some national protocols for analytical work in environmental laboratories. I have posted more of my Egypt trip elsewhere and can send you instructions by email if you are interested. - Mister Ken

A universe in a wine glass. I think you spent a bit of time getting this one right, Rafi. I have not used a ring flash, but suspect it was part of the success in this very captivating image. Best wishes for a new year, Mister Ken

Shiv - What a view! I'm not so sure that I would be able to perch upon the rock as has your subject, but to see and feel the grandeur would be worth conquering the fear. I checked your website and it was worth the visit. I left some comments there. Mister Ken

I like the detail and tones in this one, Eric. You have also successfully isolated background from subject with your use of the telephoto selective focus. And thanks for commenting on Cataract Falls. Regards, Mister Ken

I like this composition, but the strongest elements are the boy framed by the wall and line of wash. The building adds a local context, but detracts from the strength of the image. I still like it. Regards, Mister Ken
