Thank you Michael, I rather like your second curtain flash shot. Best Wishes, Traveller

Great subject, taken at the perfect time of day. Well done to get rid of the flare, by the way. Regards Michael

I think I'm with you Lonnit, this goes in my personal best file...(smile) Thanks again for your help in teaching me how to feather back in the day. Best wishes, Traveller

I'm ok with the removal of the flair, although it didn't bother me. As for your taste in your own images... I think it's time to chuck it if you like it post it if you don't! LOL! :) ~ Lonnit

Really great balance to this Traveller! That sun is so bright and yet detail remains in its wake? I reakon I could get my 'R of T' template out and it would fit perfectly. Great comp.. ~ Regards Melbob

Well, Zowser, Jim, I got it about right, a compliment from you...and the sucker goes South on me with some sort of broken link. Hummmm....gotta play to find a way to fix this somehow. Best Wishes, Traveller

This looks really good. You got rid of the flare just fine and that's something I've never even tried to do. Excellent work! Jim H.

Thank you Mary Anne, but since Lonnit, and now you, like the image, I've given it another go...and gotten rid of the lens flare pretty much. I will think on you crop idea though it may not be necessary...still I will respect the suggestion. (I always listen to women more than men...lol) Oh, technique...Ellipse tool, feather 4 pixels>>>Image>>>Adjustments>>>Match Color, (it is not what it seems, or does not to my mind match its name, and a tool I have not been familiar with before...but seems quite useful), play with Luminance, Fade and Color Intensity sliders...salt to taste...lol Thanks for the suggestion. Best Wishes, Traveller

Trav, I'm amazed at how the sun seems brighter than any of the other whites on my monitor. You have really captured the colors of that time of day. You know, if you crop off the bottom up to the top of the reflected areas under the piers, you would eliminate most of the lens flare...and I think the image works better in more of a panoramic mode. --Mary Anne

Well, hell and damnation...thanks, Lonnit...and here I though that this was a throw away shot. I will confess that my own taste and evaluation of my own work is abysmal...lol Exhibit A is this thread. Best Wishes, Traveller

Lone the circle wheel repeated in the circle sun, and how the sun is contoured by the track. The flair only adds to the circle theme. Very well done. Add this to your list of personal bests :) ~ Lonnit

So that's what a lens hood is for? is the realization that I woke up with this morning. I have the Lens Hood for the 70~200 f4L, but I never carry it with me, too much trouble and I prefer to travel light. But I guess it does have a purpose. The lens flare that is still visible is considerably reduced. In the original, it is red and green, like Christmas tree bulbs. As would anyone, I have about 20 shots of this scene, this is my favorite. Interestingly, no one seems to like or will even view the toddler shot...which pleases me more in that this kind of scenic image I do with some frequency, whereas babies are a rarity. But yes, I knew when I left a dinner table with friends to be able to take this shot that the graphical elements here were strong and it was the right time of day to emphasize this. I'm glad people enjoyed it. Best Wishes, Traveller

Fabulous skyline and love the counterpoint of the sun. I need to see it on my Mac to see what the flare does. It's too dark here. -Regards, Najinsky

wonderful tonal range on the sunset. I like how the sun looks like it is going down the roller coaster....thefly

Canon DSLR Challenge		03-Aug-2007 06:54
Trav, I like the colors and composition quite well. The roller coaster leads the eye to the Ferris wheel. I feel that the foreground is somewhat non-contributory and I am not sure that you intended for the lens flare to be there. I wonder what a little crop will do. Best wishes. Sam Attal

I like the sun flare here! great counterpoint to the wheel...congrats. bruja
