72	Jan 19	Comment	A great capture Isaac. As cropped I am inclined to agree that the left branches are frustratingly distracting. I do wonder whether including more of the nest creates less of a portrait type image and tells a fuller story about the osprey and its nest - under these circumstances, the branches on the left are more logical. Your tight crop gives impressive impact with great capture of the eye and concentration of the bird - its a question of whether this detail can be kept while having a little more of the nest shown.	Jan 21st
72	Jan 19	Comment	Kent - your original exposure with a lot of water have inevitably left the two animals too dark. I too use Lightroom rather than Photoshop and it should be possible to not have the water so light, leaving an image which focusses on the two well captured creatures better.	Jan 21st
72	Jan 19	Comment	Walt - Yes a fabulously striking image that you must be really pleased with. I think I agree with the point already made about the bottom right rocks: it's the bright parts that adds to the slight distraction.	Jan 21st
72	Jan 19	Comment	Lovely shot Mary and I feel that bringing the foreground landscape detail out really helps to give context to the main mountain subject.	Jan 21st
72	Jan 19	Comment	Abhijeet, The crop is too tight and you have plenty of space to work with. I think the birds were captured taking off, so I think you need to crop to reflect this, leaving space for them to continue flying in the same direction. Would portrait or a bigger square be better? As to colour and brightness generally - there is a huge difference between the original and "final": what was the true colour and brightness of the birds? I find the background particularly too bright.	Jan 21st
72	Jan 19	Comment	A great image Bruce and I can't really suggest anything to change it - I agree with Isaac that his catchlight change is worthwhile.I particularly lick the position of the bird in the frame.	Jan 21st
72	Jan 19	Reply	Thanks Walt and I really loved Costa Rica - we intend to return within the next few years - it has so much to offer, both in experiences and photograph opportunities.	Jan 21st
72	Jan 19	Reply	Many thanks Mary - I agree with your suggestions (to both images) and will attack both with the inevitable huge amount of processing work needed after a wildlife trip.	Jan 21st
72	Jan 19	Comment	Many thanks for your suggestions and I will look at these when back at my laptop. For info, here is another sloth pic taken yesterday which I have just made iPhone adjustments to.	Jan 10th
