Hi! A good photographical Idea and good technique with the colors! But I guess you could get more friendly/clean skin tones if you use more from the yellow channel when converting into B/W, just as someone uses a orange-filter when shooting analog B/W-pics. Nice Regards. Gerhard

Great Capture! This Picture enters my "Hall of Fame of non-professional night-sky photos". Often I spend my time doing the same stuff with a friend of mine - boring our wifes. But I have never captured the moon and the ISS in one pic. Great. Nice Regards, Gerhard

Great. I like the composition and the "human-like-esxpression" in the pigeons face, looks very curious. Kind Regards, Gerhard

Hi Ian. I do it this way, with another software: first i make a copy of the picture with the new size (for example 800x600 pixel), then I save it as JPEG with the "progressive"-option and sometimes I make a few trials how much compression i can force the image. Mostly I choose 85% of maximum-quality. But two JPEGs with the same size (800x600 pixel) can have different file-sizes after the compression, depending on how much details the picture has. Mostly I do the sharpening not before I have the picture in the final Size. A new Resizing/Sharpening/Compressing for each occasion I need the picture for. For Resizing/Compressing a lot of Pictures at once I recommend the batch-conversion of Irfanview.
Kind Regards, Gerhard

Your Picture is very beautiful, great coulors, maybe even more beautiful than it was in Reality. Things get beautiful the way we look on it, the way we photograph it...
If it's not an effect you added intentionally, I guess your JPG-Compression could be better. It's possible to get a 196-KB-picture with better quality.
Nice Regards, Gerhard

A great picture. Looks like somebody has climbed a mountain and now is playing to celebrate the moment. I just have uploaded a "similar" picture, a silhouette of a few folks including a violin player. But you have done a better job! In your picture you can see on the first view, even on the thumbnail-view what's on it - almost like an ikon, but with much more warmth than any ikon. Nice regards, Gerhard

Thank you for your very kind comment!!! The Sanyo Xacti J4 is a very small compact Camera and I have held a large Polarizer (77mm) in front of the camera (looked very funny) and so I removed the reflection of Sky and clouds. But the most important thing is the right time and the right composition. Shot 10 Degrees into another direction, the shot probably would have been boring. The Water on this coast was very clear, you can see 3 or 4 meters down to the ground and in the dock od a small harbour, where normally the water is dirty, it was clear and we have seen sea urchins!
Have a nice day and enjoy the weekend!

This looks like walk on a day, where everything is o.k., it's sunny, a new season starts and i would like to take the time just to walk down this way. Makes me curious what comes after the bend.
And I like the colors.
Congratulation.

A wonderful composition with perfect depht of field. Congratulations. The colors are so pure und lucky, they look if someone had to describe just with colors how it feels if you're just fallen in love. Romantic, fresh, tender.

A nice composition with wonderful color contrast. I like it. But it looks like a crop from a larger image (perhaps 200% enlargement) and that's not good for regarding the picture.
With kind Regards,

A wonderful, peaceful and amazing picture. I remember seeing scenes like this - but sometimes I was so busy shooting a good picture, so I could not expierence the peace... I hope you enjoy taking pics like this. This Picture is something that encourages me to bring out the best of my own canon eos 350d. There seem to be a lot of possibilites.
Nice Regards,
Gerhard

Hi Mark, I guess it's not often someones shoots a pic, posts it in a forum and someone does not only know the place, but also can tell some really interesting background-information, or better: bedrock-information! Perhaps it's better for all I haven't recognised the other tree ;-)
Best wishes, Gerhard

You have catched the best of winter in your picture. Fresh snow, nobody has left his footprints. I can imagine how you felt after such a long time waiting.
The time (23h00) explains perhaps why the contrast is a bit dull.
Nice Regards and best wishes,

After I read your comment to my "circles"-picture i had a look into your gallery and found a few very interesting pictures. And this one here was one of the first pictures i have saved on my harddisk after i have discovered usefilm one and a half year ago!! I guess this picture is the reason for a few shots of car-backs i had done with my Holga and Certophot - I shouldn't had to try copying this. The Original is the best with its strong colours, the soft vignette and the great composition. Did you do some colour-adjustments after scanning? Or is this powerful red nearly original?
Nice Regards,
Gerhard

This is one of the best autumns-pictures I have seen. It shows a "bad wheater" with so much beauty and grace so I have to think "Yeah, i wish there could be such a wheater here today".
Well done!

This is a great composition.
Not only a beautiful image, it's also a picture with a lot of metaphoric content. It reminds me of a poem, in which someone asks: When I look back I see two pairs of footprints. But where has God been as I had such hard times, in times where I only see one pair of footprints? And the Lord answers "In this hard times I have carried you".
And it is also a good picture which reminds me of times with no stress and appointmens, some hours of retreat.
Well done,
Gerhard

Thankd for your comment. It is really a bit unusual to show just a section like this - but sometimes my pictures have been a little boring... I post the original image to show before I selected the square.

This picture shows that the photographer is much more important than the camera - the composition and the title shows us your talent. But nevertheless: i guess i would have liked it more if it was made with a different camera. But: "The best camera is the one you have with you".
Nice Regards.

Hi Jose!
It's not often one can find a photographer who has his own style. You have developed your own style, you're a master of composition with a few elements.
Nice Regards from the cold south germany.

Hi Mirek. You're right, it looks almost surreal and I was really taken aback to saw a scene like this. It really looked that way!
In 2004 I saw the same scene with the same mood, but I had an old Mediumformat-camera without lightmter and had just one shot - i evaluated the exposurevalues right on that day, but there was too much contrast in this scene. In 2005 I got a second chance and made two pictures (one with correct exposed sky and one with correct exposed flowers) and combined them at home. I add the picture from 2004 made with the Adox-Golf-Camera.
Best wishes,
Gerhard

Hi Petal! Thanks for your comment. I considered to change the horizon, but the camera was in an exact level, the horizon wasn't straight :-D!!! But sometimes my pics really were tilted and a few weeks aso i bought a water-level for my camera.
Nice Regards, Gerhard
