67 May 22 Reply Thanks Frank. I like the black and white treatment, especially this darker one. It really shows the magical quality of the water. May 30th
67 May 22 Comment Love those Smoky Mountain streams. I like the way the stream leads your eye to the bright foliage. Well done. May 30th
67 May 22 Comment The action makes this a great shot. Well framed. Good job! May 30th
67 May 22 Comment The skulking pose is so typical of the green heron. Personally I like the background as-is. The image was shot late in the afternoon with warm brilliant colors on a bright cloudless day. Looks good to me.

67 May 22 Comment Thanks to all for the comments. I agree totally with the suggested crop and brightening up the image. I actually brightened it some from the original, but see now that it needed more. I didn't mention that a polarizing filter was attached to the lens (I don't have any ND filters) which darkened the image somewhat. Larry, no I did not carry my tripod. After seeing your image from last month, where you used a platypod, I finally got one - been looking at them for years. I have decided to use one instead of a tripod where much hiking is involved. If I can't set it on a boulder, log or strap it on something I'll just sit and enjoy the view. May 16th
67 May 22 Comment What a concept! Instead of going to the subject, let the subject come to you. Can I get that to work for waterfalls? This is a beautiful shot. The soft colors are rendered just right. The background is beautiful with soft bokeh. The eye is sharp and feather detail is OK. Well done IMO. May 16th
67 May 22 Comment I love this shot. Good composition with the baby's face in the upper quarter. Shows activity (eating). Rendering the image in black and white is a good choice in my opinion. In Lightroom I would use the adjustment brush to bring down the highlights in lower right corner, and maybe add a slight vignette to the image. May 16th
67 May 22 Comment That's an absolutely gorgeous bird. If I didn't know better I would have thought the colors had been altered in Photoshop. I like the in-flight pose. I totally agree with the others about the replaced sky. Original two looks just fine. I might try sharpening up the bird a bit and lightening the shadows. Nice image! May 16th
