67 Oct 23 Reply Thanks David, Badlands NP is a landscape photographer's dream. Great images everywhere you look. Can't capture them all, but I sure tried! I also shot the scene with a 24-70mm lens at various focal lengths which seems to work better. Oct 24th
67 Oct 23 Reply Thanks Rich, I like the way you brightened up the badlands to provide more emphasis. Thank you so much for this. Oct 24th
67 Oct 23 Reply Thanks Bud, I appreciate that! Oct 24th
67 Oct 23 Comment Holy cow! I've got a shot of that tree, but from a different angle. It's a Utah Juniper (Juniperus osteosperma). You've got a nice photo with an artsy look. I like that. I know even less about night shooting than other types of photography, so I have no suggestions except to frame it and put it on your wall. FYI, my shot attached. Oct 12th
67 Oct 23 Comment Good shot of an eagle in flight. Nice sharp eye. Just a good classic eagle-in-flight shot. Oct 12th
67 Oct 23 Comment Hey Rich, you captured two of my favorite nature subjects - Buttonbush and Gulf Fritillary butterfly. Love the crop showing not only the butterfly but the buttonbush flowers the way they really look. Wouldn't change a thing. Oct 12th
67 Oct 23 Comment Wow, that bear looks as surprised as you. Great story for an unusual bear photo! Oct 12th
67 Oct 23 Comment I think you have a fine image. Yes there is some clutter but that's the environment in which the monkey lives. Everyone seems to agree that those bright leaves need to be toned down a bit. I would try using a brush to further lower the highlights on the leaves. Crop a little off the bottom and left side of the image. And maybe even apply a little bit of vignette. Oct 9th
67 Oct 23 Comment Hi Susan, I'm always glad to find a wood stork here in south Arkansas. We don't get many and they are welcome to soar overhead along with our plentiful turkey vultures. That blue sky looks nice but I too like the high key approach of a white sky. I would try processing the original image in black and white. The bird and limb are in good sharp focus and would look good in black and white. Oct 9th
67 Oct 23 Reply It's the next morning and just like with my wife I now see that you are absolutely correct. Thanks so much for the thoughtful analysis. I was really "taken" by the clouds that morning, feeling as if they wrapped around me. I shot a vertical panorama series that emphasizes them even more. I never considered the effect of the 20mm lens and see how in this image I missed an opportunity to make more of the magnificent badlands landscape. I also used in other images the 24-70 lens @24 which appears to make a little difference in perspective but should have tried a little more magnification I think. Oct 4th
67 Oct 23 Reply Just as you say, I left the photographer in the image to provide some scale. I agree a little more foreground would be good to have. There was a railing that I couldn't get rid of in Lightroom, so I cropped it out. And yes, Larry's comment about the perspective provided by the wide angle lens is very revealing. Seems I get something useful from him every month! Thanks.

67 Oct 23 Reply Yes, I love what you did to the image. I was concerned about brightening it too much, making it look un-natural, but you got it just right. Thanks! Oct 4th
