Nice shot and probably the way I would have seen it although I might not execute as well. Makes me want to go there. I would experiment with getting to the level of the flowers and closer with max depth of field. I might also try getting a single flower or two with the rest in the background both blurry and sharp. Just thinking out loud. Like I said, if I went there I wouldn't so as well as you did. |

I played with this a little in the finger-driven app Snapseed and discovered lots of color in the cliff below the tree. Reduction of exposure was the thing that brought it out. I tried to get rid of some of the haze in the background and contrast seemed to better define the rocks. Overall good shot, good composition. I have struggled with my Grand Canyon shots, not knowing how to compose for starters. Recently I saw a telephoto composition from Desert View where I got my ony good shot after two visits. They had used a telephoto where I had used a wide angle because I didn't know which part of the sunrise to capture. I will go back until I conquer the Grand Canyon! |

Yes, I think I* was overzoomed to eliminate ugly winter grass. I do agree the head is too near the top. Tom Mangelsen of Jackson, Wy., says to always leave framing room and I didn't. The head shot is a great idea and I like the crop you did. What people tell me is they like the cascading feathers and I would hate to lose that, but the heron wanted to be alone and backed into the weeds. |

Love that I can see the foot through the water. Is the eye sharp? I can't tell on my iPad. I see more room on the right and that is great composition. Hard to do when there are seconds to frame and shoot. |

Amazing shot. This sharpness of the eyes and claws makes it, plus the action. What camera and lens? On a tripod I assume? |

I agree that the horse should be in focus as it is in the second shot. The limbs in the foreground don't make for a very good object to give the photo a third dimension, so I am going to assume the branches were a mistake. They just happened to be in the way. The subject could be the limbs, since they are in focus, or the woods or the horse. I would say, pick one and wait for the horse to do something. Get a better foreground object and try to get it in focus by using f/13 or so, and focusing between it and the horse (one-third of he way into the shot). If the horse is 100 feet away, the focus point would be 33 feet. |
