[John Palcewski]

Herewith my opinions re this week’s gallery, which opinions as always are worth no more and no less than the paper they’re written on (and since there is no paper involved, the worth is even less!)

D.L. Shipman - Weed    This is a marvelous and arresting image.  The only thing that strikes me as diminishing its impact is that the white center seems too obviously dodged.  This just may be me, however. 
       
Dan Mitchell - Triplets   Decisions, decisions.  Exactly where shall I spritz?   Nice triptych, white against blue.
 
Jim Davis = Fall in Japan   Pleasant nature shot.
 
Don Roberts - Grant Wood Country   Well, it is indeed evocative of Wood, and I don’t think it needs any more tweaking in Photoshop.
 
Emily L. Ferguson - cranberry wet harvest movement study   If this were mine, I’d crank up the color saturation to make the berries look more red.
Might also profit from a touch of sharpening, which would be a contrast with the blur of movement.
 
Trevor Cunningham - soft flower   I’d go for more depth of field in this one to reduce the amount of soft focus.
  
Don Draper - Carp in Pond  This might be improved by reducing the lightness and burning in the overexposed whites.

              D.L. Shipman - Weed
[Chris] If this was in the UK it would be valued as an alpine or something
and kept in a green house.
       
              Dan Mitchell - Triplets
[Chris] I like the title, it made me chuckle a bit.
       
              Jim Davis = Fall in Japan
[Chris] We have similar scenery here. I cannot see any detail it is just a
coloured blur.
 
              John Palcewski - George Plimpton
[Chris] This is a lovely character study. He looks like an elderly man but
healthy. But he could be anywhere between 50 and 80. I wonder what his life
story contains?
              Don Roberts - Grant Wood Country
[Chris] I do not know where it but near Iowa City somewhere in the USA. It
looks like lovely and fertile country where the harvest has been taken and
the next one is about to be planted. Does America feed itself? We don't!
              Emily L. Ferguson - cranberry wet harvest movement study
[Chris] This shows movement but it not clear what it is and since I do not
know what "cranberry" is (apart from that it is a fruit you get in tins and
on Christmas turkey) I cannot make it out.
 
              Trevor Cunningham - soft flower
[Chris] These flower pictures will give you an LRPS but basically I don't
like flowers any more, I used to though and took many flower images and
drooled over the colour reproduction.
              Don Draper - Carp in Pond
[Chris] Yes Carp, we call them "Goldfish" and look at them through the glass
walls of their aquarium. I think they were bred in the middle ages by monks
in their dew ponds for food.

[Chris] I will endeavour to send my next weeks contribution shortly.

It would get lost in a greenhouse.  I'm holding the plant between thumb
and finger.

Alpine Greenhouses are like that.
