72 Mar 21 Reply Thanks, Adrian. Yes, that 850 has been a fabulous investment! I go back and forth with the square vs the rectangular image. I tend to include negative space with my bird images. He certainly was in an awkward position. When I came across him while hiking, I was positive I had found a rare species.....I was sure disappointed when I looked him up and realized it was a robin just looking around. Very odd! Mar 24th
72 Mar 21 Comment Mary, I really enjoy looking at your image. The lighting is lovely and it is very crisp. As I stared at it longer, I found that the clouds were competing for my attention. I wonder if cropping out some of the clouds so that the viewer is able to take a longer journey up and around the image might work. I tried cropping it a bit to show you what I mean. Mar 22nd
72 Mar 21 Comment Randy, This is such a breathtaking image! My husband and I enjoy visiting Arizona and this is definitely on our list to see. I love just staring at your image as my eye just travels through it. I particularly find the luminosity to be quite effective. Nicely done!

72 Mar 21 Reply Randy, Thanks. I love your captions. It has been a banner year around here for interesting bird poses. Perhaps in the past, I just didn't really take the time to notice! Throughout COVID birding has become such a favorite part of my day. Mar 22nd

72 Mar 21 Reply Walt, Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, the square crop does seem to work nicely. I couldn't do much with the eye!

72 Mar 21 Comment Adrian,
I really love the softness of the original image. In the first edited version I thought the rock and foliage in the water almost seemed fake, even though they were natural! My eye went right to them. I keep going back to the original, which is my favorite. I cropped it a bit from the top and took out the rock and water plant. What a beautiful site you visited!

72 Mar 21 Comment Walt, what a vibrant, pretty image! I particularly like the way the triangular shape of the flowers and leaves lead me to the large flower in the foreground. I agree with the suggestion to remove the bit of sunflower on the lower left. I like the texture in the black and white image, but I do prefer the color version. Mar 6th
72 Mar 21 Comment Isaac, I just love this image! The pose that you captured and the colors that you brought out make this such an appealing image. The only suggestion I have is to perhaps remove the little white spots on his left wing and the tiny one on the right wing bottom. Mar 6th
72 Mar 21 Comment Bruce, What a lovely image of such a happy bird! I love that you caught him with his mouth open while chirping. I agree with Isaac about the eye. By brightening it. up bit, it compliments the sunlight shining on his little foot. Mar 6th
72 Mar 21 Reply Bruce, Thank you for your comments and suggestion. I went back and forth about the square crop, which definitely works for this image. Mar 6th
72 Mar 21 Reply Thank you, Isaac. I have been enjoying taking some images of the various birds that stay in our area during the winter. Mar 6th
