73 Feb 24 Reply Sherry - The story is that I saw the potential on this image, and as I was setting up this couple walked right by me and was in the image for some 20 minutes. I had to keep moving the tripod to keep the sun behind the tree. Finally I said something to the couple and he got bestie and she made him move - I believe my intent was to have the base of the Joshua Tree in the image, but I should have recomposed to get it after the 20 minutes - detail, detail and detail.

73 Feb 24 Comment Gary - I then to go with Ian on the silkiness of the water, regardless the composition is well balanced and sharp and crisp image. I might have brought out the shadows a bit. I like that you shot it not face on but at the side as it gives more perspective - good shot. Feb 15th
73 Feb 24 Comment Peter - great shot - your balance and positioning excellent. I supposed you could have just waited for no-one to be in the image, but shooting it at 1/5 second is very clever. Yes odd numbers work better than even and the person on the left does not bother me. On the other hand if there was a third person walking up the stairs that might have made a stronger image. Anyway very nice and creative. Feb 15th
73 Feb 24 Comment Ian - thesis a cool image - Love the B&W. Very clever and your description of your travels wants me to see more.
I am not a fan of vignette - I know it is to draw attention to a part of the image - they just don't do it for me. I want to see more of your images - very cool.

73 Feb 24 Comment Dhananjay - I see the image vary similar to what Ian is saying - the daily - lonely quest for food and substance. True that fisherman may not see this as lonely and they may find solace, peace as they go out.
Anyway I think the image is a bit soft but you got a good story.

73 Feb 24 Comment Butch - So this is what I get to look forward to seeing this June - I am excited to see possibilities. The right part of the image there is a part of me that wants to see what is over there - I guess I need to wait till June - Great shot, clouds, serf and birds all help make this a great image. Feb 15th
73 Feb 24 Comment Sherry - The colors just POP! This is a cool geological formation and with the clouds in the sky - very nice. Feb 15th
73 Feb 24 Reply Butch - You were not supposed to see the base of the trees - or pretend they are their. Thank you for the comments Feb 15th

89 Feb 24 Comment Dhananjay - HA! Yes they have that look - So interesting how critters can take on some human behaviors - makes one think that we may not be so unique as we think.

I wish the shadows were brought up a bit on the parakeets so show off their color a bit - The ring around the neck of the right one is very interesting - yes the look is cool.

89 Feb 24 Comment Bill - nice and sharp and the B&W is cool. How did you get so close? was this in the wild or a zoo, or wildlife park? What lens and camera did you use? What were the settings? Tripod or handheld? Feb 15th
89 Feb 24 Comment Marina - very stately image, dignified. The perch looks like a favorite spot - was this taken in the wild?
Image is crisp, sharp and well exposed - very nice.

89 Feb 24 Comment Bob, I guess you did not get the notice that this month was birds- just kidding. Lovely image and the colors are great. Image looks sharp, but I think I would not have cropped it so tight. Wish there was a description - lens, camera and settings - tripod, studio shot? Lighting etc. Feb 15th
