| Kenneth Deitcher, MD. FPSA | The hydrant pipe color is very striking coming out of the bushes. The elements work together to give an interesting photo. This shows that you have to be observant to 'see' a good image when it presents itself. |
| Elaine Icklan | Nice observation followed by a good shot. An increase in contrast and saturation would add punch. |
| Barbara Mallon | One of our camera club members takes photos of junk all the time. It is incredible what you can do with such a subject. This is almost a living-room picture now. Quibble: The ivy on the bottom left should be sharp. |
| Shirley Ramaley | Good eye. I probably would have walked right by it. Nice colors. What happened to the leaves in the bottom left corner? They are blurred, but everything else, including the pipe next to those leaves, is sharp. The change from sharpness to blurred is too abrupt and doesn't look like an f-stop decision. |

Dewey Val Schorre -
Biography Professionally I was a computer programmer, and was anxious to use the computer for photography. I connected a black and white video camera to an S100 bus computer and was able to get images that were 128 x128 pixels. The pictures were printed on a typewriter, using different letters of the alphabet to represent shades of gray--the asterisk was dark gray and the period was light gray. I described this in one of the PSA Techniques circuits at the time. When the Mac II came out with 256 colors I thought that was amazing and had to have one. In a few years Apple came out with a 24bit color standard and I was able to make fair prints on an HP inkjet. I couldn't use a resolution greater than 640x480 because the computer was just too slow. All this was just experiments. I hadn't produced any pictures good enough for competition. Finally Epson came out with a photo realistic printer and I got some good scans by having my pictures put on a Kodak Photo CD. Now I have a Mac G4 with two 450 Mhz processors and two Epson 1200's. One has a continuous inking system with MIS archival ink. Memory is so cheap that I just added a gigabyte of ram for $120. I have been in the PSA digital circuits for several years, first in Circuit #1 with Milan Sedio and in Circuit #3 with Don vonWolffradt.
