I am not a big fan of an object on a completely black back ground. It gives no context and just seems to be floating in space. Posted: 02/03/2025 06:02:46
Thanks Steve! Posted: 02/16/2025 19:07:01
Without reading the title, it looks like a heart. I also like BW but I think a textured background in black or grey would improve the photo. Posted: 02/09/2025 22:09:52

:-) I'm re-editing to bring the background back. Thanks for the feedback. Posted: 02/13/2025 01:40:58
Scott, I think you handled this well. I have no problem with the background as I feel it allows your main subject the focus. Those shadows in the pod add to the depth within the image. Posted: 02/13/2025 17:22:34

I have decided NOT to renew my PSA membership at this time which probably means being removed as a contributing member of Study Group 28.
I want to thank all of you for your thoughtful remarks and suggestions.
I enjoyed reviewing your images over the years as well.
Thanks,
