Hi, Janice! Great shot! Your cropping and darkening the background were excellent decisions that make the egret jump out of the picture. |

Hi, Janice! Thank you for stopping by! I was extremely lucky the fly stopped by for a brief moment. The shot looks like a posed portrait. It is not a composite image unless you want to call a focus-stacked image a composite. I see Catherine Honigsberg is in your group. She's the president of the Silver Spring Camera Club, if you didn't already know. |

Thanks, Cindy! I went back and forth about cropping the bottom part of the image. You convinced me to do it. I actually went back to an earlier version and added a little space on the left side that had interesting some curves from the white petals. Thanks for your feedback. |

A calm scene with complementary blues and yellow gives the image an overall pleasing effect. The offset, silhouetted tree punctuates the image with a striking subject. |

I like the fern as pictured in its environment. The diagonals of the fence also adds dynamics to the image. |

You captured a timeless image with beautiful evening light. I especially like the overgrown greenery lining the river and the old stone walls on both sides. The yellow building in the center, being the brightest part of the image, draws my attention the most. But is the least interesting subject. The reflection seems to have more appeal than the yellow building itself. |

Beautiful water lily shot! Although the small dragonfly is a nice bonus, I really like the reflections of the two lilies. The reflection of the one in front is mesmerizing. Well done! |

Thank you, Mark. I have to admit I did give up at one point, but later tried again. |

Thanks, Dick. Removing all the distractions was a major effort. I used both Lightroom and Photoshop tools, and it took much longer than I expected. But I was quite happy with the final result. |

Thank you, Barbara. I apologize for not responding sooner as I've been out of town for a while. When I shot the plant, I wasn't sure if there was a worthwhile image in it. But after playing around removing all the distractions, I discovered this final image that I was happy with. |

You captured the intricate details of this sunflower perfectly from the fine trichomes on the stem to the delicate patterns on the petals. It resembles a fiery torch, so I wonder if it might be also work if you rotated the image 90 degrees to the left? |

A beautiful shot of a geranium! The flower being in perfect focus against the blurred background just jumps right out of the picture. My only suggestion might be to try lightening the dark leaves between the petals and the stem to create more separation of the flower from the dark background. |

I can only wonder how you find such perfect subjects. The five tomatoes with two of them in earlier stages of ripening create a story in the image. The fine, fuzzy trichomes contrast beautifully with the smooth skin of the tomatoes. And, the subject tomatoes and stem are in sharp focus. |

Barbara, I like the simplicity of this image with the intense deep red bleeding from the pure white petals. I might suggest making the background completely black to further isolate the flower. |
