47 May 21 Comment Gosh, doesn't this look so much better in mono! I like the feeling that you took the image down at their level.

The only thing I could suggest if you play with the colour sliders to lighten their skin tones just a bit: the gut on the left has his face mostly in the shade and I find that a pitty. A small point.		 May 23rd
47 May 21 Comment Yes, its a fun image Kirsti! I couldn't guess what it was until I read your narrative, but that's no surprise - not enough imagination!

47 May 21 Comment Blue works Ed! Your treatment somehow makes it easier to look at the crystals in detail. Thank you for sharing: I will try to remember this technique! May 23rd
47 May 21 Comment Colin - another skilfully put together image - and with great timing - it is that tenderness which tells the story so well.

I too was finding the whiter band of the background somewhat annoying and coming latish to this, I now see a variant and I prefer that.

Well done, another great image.		 May 23rd
47 May 21 Comment Welcome Vinod!
As a principal, I think the core subject of this type of image (the one with prime focus) needs to have its lighting as you would want it. Yours has ended up very dark and there are 2 excellent versions posted for you already. They are very good photoshop developers.

One can achieve similar in Lightroom.

When taking this type of image, I think you need to first select which "person" you want in perfect sharpness, if the first, make sure the focus point is a little past your target (or at the back of him), then take a few shots with different apertures, thus increasing the depth of field.

When back home, you chose the view with differing amounts in focus. You also need to see if your perfectly sharp one can be 100% seen ideally. That's what I would do anyway!

Finally, I suggest you give your camera settings, as that helps us comment back to you fully.

Thank you for posting. 		May 14th

72 May 21 Comment Sorry I'm late in reviewing here, but this has provided me the opportunity to see your version following the suggestion from Randy. I prefer that.
The original seemed just too bright, both snow and the eagle, while the 2nd has more depth to the image -I find it more believable given the clear bright lighting conditions. I can't make any suggestions to improve it.

A fabulous experience Isaac and your narrative with 2 other images really helped us to enjoy your results. Thank you. 		May 29th
72 May 21 Comment Wow aren't you lucky with what comes to your yard! And of course this is again a great example of the quality of your lenses and camera, enabling great detail from huge crops.

I'm with Randy is preferring enough of the building to help the story - yes a tight portrait looks great, with less distracting, but I always prefer a fuller story.

Thank you for sharing Marie.		 May 29th
72 May 21 Comment Wow, I was loving your sunrise shot at Original 3, then being late in posting my comments gives me your later sunrise show which is absolutely fabulous- certainly one for the wall. The lighting is lovely.

As to your close up, yes Isaac is on the money, with the crop and vignette highlighting so well the yellow stamens. I bet you ended up with hundreds of great images Walt, giving you a real problem of choosing the best! Thank you for sharing. 		May 29th
72 May 21 Comment Randy, very interesting technique! I find the background far too distracting, so I wonder whether the technique works better where the background is further away - or for a faster moving bird, requiring panning more quickly? May 29th
72 May 21 Comment A great portrait of a rarely photographed (in good light) creature. This makes your image special and one you will cherish. You were low in the taking of the 8mage and this helps a lot.

Your choice of DOF settings drives the viewers eye to its fac and this is just so sharp. The bubble for a pure portrait is a nuisance, but it adds or demonstrates its character.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to admire these amazing creatures so well. 		May 29th
72 May 21 Comment Very skilful Mary. I like very much the soft feel of your creation: there is no one area which cries out to compete with other areas - they sort of blend in well to create the whole. Very creative!

My only suggestion is to half the width or your pink surround: i find it competes for attention too much with your work of art.		 May 23rd
72 May 21 Reply Thanks Marie. I like my wildlife images to tell a story and thus are not necessarily On Wall portraits. May 10th
