Yes in my opinion it is better with more room because you also see more of the parent and the nest. |

Thanks for your comments Randall. I will go back to my original image and work on your suggestions. |

Thank you for you comments and removing the bright spot. I either use content aware, healing or cloning in LR depending on which works the best for these minor blemishes. In general I try not to alter my images from the original other than cropping, removing noise and sharpening.
The male adults are gorgeous. But I love watching the Woodduck families, the babies growing up into young adults in our area. This year particularly I have noticed many families in the wetlands. |

I always admire high key images. I like how you have cropped it. I agree with others that the highlights are slightly overblown. Definitely not an easy image to achieve perfection. |

I like the reflection in the emerald green water and the birds red eye. My attention immediately goes to the eye with the catch of light in it. I also like the swirls and the ripples in water that you have captured. I agree on what Issac did to the image. Did you clone out something at the bottom right corner of the image? Maybe you can increase the feathering so it is not so obvious. |

I like the composition and the bird in action. I like that even though you see the back of the bird you can still see its eye. Very nice!
We see Great Blue Heron in our area all year long. I have see them in the action in your photo when they are hunting for food. It is amazing to watch them spear their catch and then use their tongue to push the catch out of the beak and then catch it in mid air as the catch releases from the beak. |

You captured this teaching moment really well. I really like your original crop and what Issac has done to enhance this beautiful moment you have photographed. Well done. |

Very nice image of this Great Egret in flight. I like that the bird is in sharp focus with lovely details of the delicate feathers and that the white is not blown out. The bird really stands out against the blue sky.
In the Atlanta, GA area we only see the Great Egrets in the summer time. I always look forward to seeing them in the wetlands during this time of the year. |

Thanks for your comments John. I can relate to your Phoebe nest experience. We had a finch nest on our porch two years in a row. There was no way I could be at a safe distance and take a photo without scaring the birds. The second year I set up a tripod with a remote control to operate from inside the house but even then the shutter sound from my camera scared the parents away. So I decided to abandon the idea of taking photos to just enjoy our beautiful nature by observing it and taking it all in. I must admit that I did take a lot of videos from inside the house with my cell phone :) |

A great image to share and show the effect of climate change. Definitely use the comparison that Sherry mentions to send out a message. Thank you for sharing.

Sherry,
I like this image, particularly after the changes you made. I would even try to blur the background a little bit for the hawks to pop out even more.
I find with wildlife you have to get what you can when you first see it otherwise you miss it. |

Beautiful shot indeed. I really like this photo with the owl and the green grass it is carrying in sharp focus and a soft background. The unedited photos are beautiful as well. Thanks for sharing these. I have never see Burrowing Owls and they are on my list of birds to photograph. |

Hi Leslie, Agree with Judy, you nailed the depth of field. They are all looking directly at the camera, probably curious to see your camera. So cute! |

Thank you for your comments. This path is shaded by hardwood and pine trees so light was low. |

Hi Leslie, Thank you for your comments. It's the first time I have seen house Wren nest so it was very exciting. The eye of the parent in this photo is partially closed. Unfortunately, this was is the only photo where the baby's eye was visible. All the other photos I only see the beak :( |
