Yes, exactly. See what you do in PS, and translate anything you do into camera settings (if possible). A mapping of digital alteration onto camera settings.

Nick - I think you mean to say that you use PS to coach yourself for making your next photograph.

Exactly the same way I work too, James! I also consider the raw image to be the most direct and sincere approach for posting images and also for that kind of exchange of views that can enrich one's skills. When I refer to some special crop, I always do that for getting an additional glimpse of what could have been done at shooting time - exactly some moments before shooting, when deciding how to compose by the view through the view finder or on the LCD. Also, any possible alteration with PS, that I might attach, is meant for concluding what the corrections of settings might have been *on the camera itself* rather, than anything else. To put it in different words, when I use PS for any change of the original image, I do that for mapping these alterations to
potential exposure corrections of the exposure settings - just like saying for example: "A closer zoom would be better", or "a bit of underexposure would help". I hope I expressed myself in an understandable way?
Best wishes,
Nick

Nick - Thanks. I tend to post the rawest images possible when doing pure luxagraphic work. I don't contend that they are done but I try to show what I am doing photographically here (on UF). Some of them could benefit from a crop. You will see that occassionally I do crop them, but those are exceptions (employed mostly by whim). I like your crop.

The game of implied motion and time on an image is always hard to get, but you did that very well here! I am a bit ambivalent about the top of it - it does contain some nice elements but it also somehow escapes the main motion. Cropping it off just creates a very different image, and so I only attach the crop as a further possibility but not as a possibility to make this one better!
Best wishes,
Nick

Thanks, Roger. Bring me down? No, not really. It's not like you're saying I write stories like George Lucas.

Shirley - Thank you. I was trying to emphasize the slingshotness that the two competing elements turn through.

Khaled - Thanks. I like the way the tv capture shows depth in the rear segments and then becomes a thin sliver of light in the near segments.
