Excellent image Richard. Action, Action, Action. Birds in flight are difficult, and I feel you have capture these two perfectly.
I definitely like the crop you did to bring the focus on them versus the surrounding beach. The light and colorations really are nice. I see you flipped the image as described. There is a significant amount of highlights and blowout of white. Were you using any exposure compensation? I have learned this the hard way that when I shoot under exposed the camera over compensates and will blow out the image, but if you add a little exposure bias +1/3, 2/3, the camera will think it's too bright and compensate for the light. |

Beautiful capture Larry. I'm surprised you use a ND6 filter and a polarizer especially with the amount of shadow from the trees. I understand the rational for slowing the water down and getting a "cotton candy" feel.
The composition is very nice and the angle you illustrate has the sense the of looking up to the falls. Your post production work is very detailed. Looking at the original image enlarged, it appears to less in focus along the edges, than in post. The tree along the left side of the image is dark along the outer edge and that shadowing brings the eye back to the waterfall, which is the focus for the image.
The lightened foliage along the right edge of the falls give the sense of where the light is coming from L>R. Another wonderful capture. |

Fantastic capture of the egret with a mouthful. You have captured the bird in motion and with a determined look in its eye and posture. It gives me the sense of "Ha, I caught you" look.
I like the look of the hackles on the back of the neck in motion, presuming it was a little breezy. The water droplets clearly demonstrate the catch and moment right after.
I noticed you set your ISO at 160, yet your Tv was 1/2000. You mentioned you decreased the highlights and whites down. Maybe open them up a little and using a higher ISO with that shutter speed. I have learned that using a high ISO for bird photography (especially movement) is best with a high shutter speed. I do like how the bird is slightly off center to the left, giving the perception of movement from left to right.
Nice Capture. |

Another Ansel Adams here Michael. I guess there's one thing about the pandemic, forces us to relook at our previous images. I like how you've captured the contrasts between the mountains and the sky.
I agree with Larry's suggestion of cropping out the bottom half and the tree on the left. When looking at the image, the foreground is very grainy looking and distracting to the eye. The sage in the bottom looks "clumpy". |

Thanks Larry for the tips. I have uploaded the image again and made some adjustments to it. In lightened it up and attached it at just 1mb. I was using a newer camera. The Canon 6D MII was a rental and full frame, so definitely getting to know the camera was my other learning curve. Using my 10-24 Tamron with created some vignetting I had to overcome. I am hopeful this version is better or more pleasing. |
