Thanks David. You can look at the other post to see my excuse for the softness in the photo. I think it all boiled down to the low ISO>. |

Thanks Larry. I did not notice anything about the straightness of the image, but some folks have. the Teal were quartering away from me, so they were at an angle. I am thinking about changing my method of shooting to include auto ISO instead of manual. |

I agree Susan, a faster shutter speed would have been a better. For some reason I had set my ISO low so that was the cause of the slow shutter speed. ISO would normally be in the 1000 range which would have allowed for a faster shutter speed. |

Thaks Cindy. I startled this pair, and they were swimming away at an angle so extra camara adjustments were not easily made. I agree they a different F stop would have helped the image. |

Thanks Michael. Your eyes are probably ok. The eye is dark, and the duck was swimming away and did not get the glint in the eye and I don't manufacture one on post processing. I can see the outline, but it is not very clear. |

Ok David, you fooled me. I have never seen a lava flow like this before. I thought I was looking at an old Black Oak Tree from the farm back in West Virgina where I was raised. The old trees would lose large limbs from time to time and create a place that looked like this and sometimes would have something growing out of that cavity. My story about the image would have been different that yours. Now that I have the lowdown on this photo I find it an amazing story, better than mine. I think you are right about the title; it would really help with the interpretation of the photo. To the photo now, it is sharp I love the green fern against the black surrounding, it really stands out as the subject. You have given us an intersecting photo this month, Thanks. |

This is a cool image, Bud. You have to love those yellow eyes against the black coat of fur. I love the snow hanging to the black coat also. This is great portrait of a once endangered animal. I do like that you cropped close enough to see those details of the animal. A lesser crop would be nice for the environment, but the detail on the wolf would have been lost. All the image details are really good so I guess the crop would depend on what audience you are planning to show the photo too. Keep a copy of all of them but I like this one. |

We are given a few minutes golden light each day to capture light at its finest. Now it is up to us to make it work for us. I hear it all the time just how lucky we are to have been there at that time of the day. It's not luck that you got up at o-dark thirty or missed supper because that's the same time that the sun sets. Because your knowledge of the light you were there and what camera setting were needed. Good work sir. Nice and sharp detail on the birds. Clicked at a nice moment in the life of this couple. Your choice of lens gave you some good bokeh. I am glad that I am not the only photographer that keeps taking pictures of GBHs. |

I am really liking your images for the Antarctic trip. Great story content with the Penguins and their environment. I really appreciate when a photographer is handed lemons and is able to make lemonade. Bad weather, cold temps, low visibility is enough of a reason for some to leave the camera in the bag. You have used those elements to tell a compelling story with your image. As much as I hate cold weather I want to be there and see for myself. As for the big dark rock on the right. It was not a problem for me until Bub pointed it out. Now it is an overpowering part of the image. I am blaming Bud. Rather that removing it I believe I would try to blend it into the image. I masked just the large rock and used LR to make several adjustments to and try to make it less of a distraction and blend it in with the rest of the image. See what your think? |

Yep, a Yellow-rumped Warbler. Very sharp and vibrant photo, I like it. By the time these guys get here during the fall migration they have lost most of that vibrant coloring. I think you did get it right. I like the composition you chose. I would agree with Bud that you could have cropped a little different, but this crop works just fine too. I like the profile shot you captured of the warbler. Much more interesting than a straight in shot. With that camera and lens coupled with your knowledge I see some fantastic photos in your future. |

I really like images of Creepers probably because I have never been able to see one in the wild. Lucky you. Great detail on most of the bird. The color looks good, and the capture of the moth adds an extra element to the image that sets it apart from just average images. My only recommendation would be to bump that F-stop to about f9 to f11 and create more depth of field incorporating the bird's tail and all the elements of the branch. I think I am seeing a spider/bug on the branch in front of the creeper. If that is the case, you would have 3 species in one image and that is extra points with PSA competitions. I think it is a great image and I only wish I had one like it. |

Thanks, Bud, for your comment. Sorry about the lack of interest. I posted this image because of the simple beauty that nature provides sometimes. The female does have more detail than the male for sure. |
