67 Aug 20 Comment This is a good image and almost great. I would try a closer crop and attempt to sharpen the image. In Lightroom I would use the sharpening mask in "Details". Aug 23rd
67 Aug 20 Comment Richard, what a great image. It brought an immediate emotional response the first time I saw it. Perfect lighting, rich detail, great pose, wonderful framing. Love it, love it, love it! Aug 23rd
67 Aug 20 Comment I'll "second" everything said, and am eagerly waiting for next month. Thank you for doing the right thing! Aug 23rd
67 Aug 20 Comment Beautiful colors in this image. Good focus. Catchlight in the bird's eye. I might have tried cropping a little closer, especially at the bottom where there aren't any flowers. Also, darkening the background a bit and brighten the bird (adjustment brush in LR) and adding a very slight vignette. Aug 23rd
67 Aug 20 Comment Thanks for the comments. I like Richard's crop but personally don't like to include bird feeders, and including half a bird doesn't seem quite right to me. I like the closer crop and that was my original "take" on the image. For some reason I opened it up. Can't remember why - getting old and senile I guess. The first time I saw the image I was going to get rid of it, then I noticed the bird's expression. I chuckled and said to myself, "I've had days like that!". Aug 23rd
67 Aug 20 Comment A very nice shot! I agree with the comments about allowing more room in front of the swan, but understand you couldn't do that. The bright areas in the background are distracting - you could remove them or darken them using LR or PS. Also, the entire vegetation on the bank could be darkened a little. Aug 23rd
