I agree. I honestly don't understand. AND it was handheld. I got the Canon EOS R5 for the high pixel count and 8 stops of stabilization. Many of my photos are of distant seabirds which require heavy cropping and good stabilization. But in this photo I was using my "landscape" settings to get a wide view of the cordgrass which was about 10 feet out in the water. |

Jeffrey, I don't have a suggestion for addressing my concern, but here goes... The title tells us that it's a mother and her baby, and the mother occupies more pixels, but she's also in the foreground. So a quick reaction might just attribute the difference in sizes to foreshortening. A closer look show's the mother's skin to be more wrinkled. If you think this has some value, can you imagine some technique to emphasize the difference in skin textures? I can't. |

Steve, I'm curious if the sky's color is an effect of the fires in the western US. We certainly see and feel them here in the eastern US. If so, the interest in this picture really increases because you're seeing a color spectrum filtered through air carrying particles from the fires. |

Hi Sophia, Regarding the great photograph, I agree with Steve about the potential of finding interesting colors and details in the tail. Have you tried doing some kind of shadow reduction to pull out colors on the alligator's tail?
I'm also interested in the natural history of the interaction. In particular I want to know whether the interaction was related to mating, or was it even mating. When did you take the picture? I know that you're in SC, but Google suggests that in FL alligators mate in May and June. And during that season male to male aggression increases. |

Wow, a totally different idea, Steve. I was so impressed that I could crop in so much and get the bee that I got a shot that could have been done with a macro lens. And the macro would have had better definition of the "furry" parts of the bee. But what's really striking is that the bee is so tiny in that vast expanse of grass. Thank you! |
