72 Dec 24 Reply Sorry you're leaving us Barbara! Good luck in your photography. Dec 31st
72 Dec 24 Reply Big!! Lucky you! Antartica is very much on our list and S Georgia! Dec 17th
72 Dec 24 Comment Yup Isaac, Icelandic horses are very special and unique - there are significant rules designed to prevent and interaction with any other type of horse.

Lovely shot showing natural behaviour. Maria's road removal is cleaver and does improve the image.		 Dec 16th
72 Dec 24 Reply Impressively done Maria! It does help the image. Dec 16th
72 Dec 24 Comment Maria

You've caught this bird showing character. Your crop is good to my eye, with its head on our left looking right. Your shutter speed caught the action well, but I agree that I find it best to use say 1/1,000 for all bird shots - double to treble this for birds in flight - the extra IOS and resultant noise can be dealt with nowadays in PP.
Your final image has good detail and colours - you could do nothing about the flat lighting conditions. 		Dec 16th
72 Dec 24 Comment Barbara - what a lovely bird. My first reaction (not having ever seen one) was that the bird seems slightly washed out with bird and background a tad bright. But I respect Isaac's comment above. Looking at the original, I would instinctively mask the bird and lighten the shadows a bit to bring out more detail which you final image shows, but to me the sky has ended up with a tint (not shown in the original).

Either way, a lovely bird and shot!		 Dec 15th
72 Dec 24 Comment Maria - lovely lighting here and the bird's shape all make for a successful image. I very much the variety of colour in their necks and body. Great detail shown. Dec 15th
72 Dec 24 Comment Bruce - Gosh I'm glad the good-old BBC came to your rescue!

The interlocking horns and their expressions make this a very interesting shot, very sharp and well presented. Lovely. 		Dec 15th

91 Dec 24 Comment Cindy, your camera craft shows great skill here with so much detail retained. A lovely image enhanced with both the reflection of those legs going in a multitude of directions and you timing this shot with its beak open. Gorgeous! Dec 15th
91 Dec 24 Comment Steve - I agree that to my eye, you have left the image looking natural in twilight - it would be easy to lighten it to give more detail and eye colour, but this feels very natural. You have shown the complete hole and that makes sense - it would also look well as a square, loosing the top 1/2 of the hole. Very nice and you are so lucky to have wonderful wildlife within walking distance (as well as in your garden). Dec 15th
91 Dec 24 Comment Sunat - I love this! Very striking image. A very good capture with a narrow depth of field with nicely defused background and well developed. Taking a bit off the right would be worth doing. Dec 13th
91 Dec 24 Comment Bruce - a very dramatic image! It's very well captured with an interesting and your f4.5 delivered a narrow depth of field, whilst all the bird being sharp. Lovely. I agree that something has resulted in our view not being 100% sharp - either the file size/internet effect or a tad of sharpening desired. Dec 13th
91 Dec 24 Comment Jerry - this is both nicely taken and developed. The result shows an egret with good character and detail in its 'coat' - the strong yellow of eye and feet really helps.

I too would move it from the centre given its head position. 		Dec 13th
91 Dec 24 Reply Thanks Jerry - we were there for about an hour and never saw an eye, Dec 13th
91 Dec 24 Reply Thank you Isaac. You were lucky to have one awake and to slightly open its eye and mouth. Strange birds! Dec 6th
