This is such a dichotomy of light and sharpness and color. Obvious the water motion added to the bottom but what processing did you add? I've looked at this several different times and still trying to wrap my head around it. There is an eerie attraction yet my head is still running circles of how to post process this. |

I like this! but what does it have to do with land/sea/city/scapes? I think diffraction is affecting the center. Interesting lighting as you are getting many angles all around the flower. So with minimal LR work how did you get the black background yet have all the light angles... even with underexposure? |

Bob has been on a "Lost on the prairie" theme of late. This is another nice photo with aspects already mentioned by others. When I first looked at it I wondered if you added some sort of texture or filter to the image, as it is almost but not quite painterly. On close inspection, I might try removing the phone lines/poles in the far background and removing some of the bottom of the sage brush in order to move the horizon off center and as Paul said take away of some of the dominance of the brush. |

The colors really popped when I opened this image. I actually said wow!... I myself might have cropped off a bit more blue sky, or figured out how to add some more clouds. Also I might have tried to remove the crane or tone it down. But these are minor things to the overall nice photo. The last time I was there the entire top was still under renovation, and so not too photogenic. |

By the way, I took many images of this scene prior to and after the setting sun. Here is one of my intermediary results after submitting the photo above. I did add in the fisherman at sunset with an image including the egret... |

I debated over the vegetation, but felt this was the best crop that kept the horizon off center yet still emphasised the clouds. |

Personally, I hear about toning down the background, but I personally do not like this version as you lose everything about the background. I still think you need some essense of the area. I may go in and try to isolate on the yellows. |

I'm finding people have an "artificial" bad taste for HDR mainly due to processing Software 10 years old. Most of the modern HDR SW does a very good job and seldom do I have anyone realize it was HDR processed. What, I find, is most people think an overly sharp photo (Crispy) is an HDR result. That said this was a nice job of blending. I like how you brought out the color on the hillsides and I actually like the bushes at the bottom for the exact reason Mary mentioned... it provides more depth. The only thing I might try is to darken the "blue" of the sky as the brightness of it just above the landscape pulls my eyes away from more important aspects of the image. |

Great detail and focus! However, I'm not thrilled with the crop. I like to make sure there is space between the image edge and my animals and I believe if you are showing all the body you need to at least show the belly and some of the legs. I would be tempted to remove the entire right side (crop to about middle) and make a portrait style of the head. IMHO |

Should have let me know it was Ram month. :) Nice photo, good focus on eyes. In the past I've played with some plugins like Topaz Glow to enhance the fur. I'm still experimenting with it and don't have an exact go to methodology, but it would help add a little dimension to this photo by pulling the animal off the snow background. |
