Mary, Thank you for taking the time to do some editing on my image. I appreciate your suggestions. Lately I have been playing around with a soft look in my landscapes. I used the Classical Soft Focus filter in Color Efex Pro. I like both looks; yours and mine. |

Adrian, Thank you for your input. I have not shot with a 16:9 ratio. I always thought that was the ratio to use if the intent is to display on a tv or computer monitor. I will have to read up more about using this for landscapes. Bruce also suggested a 16:9 and I do like that look. Your explanation is very useful. What a wonderful experience you must have had during those 6 trips to the US National Parks with a pro landscape photographer. It sounds fabulous! |

Bruce, I have never seen a reddish egret, but perhaps in November when I go to Florida I might find one. Their unpredictable behavior sure sound like they are quite a challenge to photograph. The second image you posted is cool! |

Isaac, How cool to catch the pandas at feeding time. It must have been really interesting to watch them eat their bamboo. I love the crispness of the panda's fur and how you captured him with his mouth wide open as he enjoyed his breakfast. The harsh light certainly didn't help as you tried to capture some interesting shots. I do like the original that you posted where we do see his full face. He looks so content! |

Adrian,
What a wonderful experience this must have been! Since you planned the shot to show the hikers, I understand why you didn't crop the bottom. I'm glad you have decided to process another version in color, which I like best. Perhaps for that one you might consider cropping out the bottom portion to show a different perspective. The leading lines of the path through the mountains makes me wonder who else has hiked along that area and what awaits them at the end of the path.

Mary, I also hope your knee surgery recovery is quick. I wasn't sure that this image fit the theme of Nature; it seems more like street photography; however, since you have not been able to get into nature with your knee recovery, it's nice that you were able to get out and shoot and share a photo with us. |

Bruce, This image brings a smile to my face as I picture a conductor with a zany hair style as he conducts an orchestra. I agree that a bit more contrast might enhance the image. |

Barbara, What a lovely image! I love the sharp focus of the mom and the way the sweet chick's eye is framed by the triangular shape of the sticks. The natural framing of the greenery above the mom is also effective. I think the square crop is a good choice, and I do agree with Bruce's suggestion re: the area to the left. |

Thanks, Bruce. I see your point with the crop that you did. When I composed the image, I was caught up in the grandeur of the tall trees surrounding the boulders. I liked how the rocks in the river led me to the wall of rocks on the left, leading me to the larger rock on the right, up to the top of the tall trees and then back around to the clouds. At one point I had cropped out the entire right side, but I didn't want to lose that big rock on the bottom right. Your crop does make it less heavy on the right, while keeping the right river rock in the image. |
