Regine, I am speechless (which is a rare occurrence). I cannot think of anything to add, Art and Kurtis said it all. I love everything about this picture and especially your creativity! Beautifully done!! |

Kurtis, this is such a lovely image and I love how the blueish, green tones compliment the bird and its reflection beautifully. A great picture! |

Art, you are so creative and able to envision details that very few people notice. Your edit is terrific! Sharp with great detail and contrasting. A wonderful picture! |

Regine, I think you did an outstanding job bringing out the contrast in the stormy sky. The only little thing I would suggest is to add a little additional contrast and highlight to the buildings and crop it a bit. (I used the Photoshop dodge tool on the buildings to see how it looks.) Love your composition, a great picture! |

Gabriele, so sorry to learn that you are not feeling well. I will keep you in my thoughts and hope you will be much better soon. I like the way Art cropped your image. I decided to see if additional cropping from the left would emphasize the Cathedral and people even more, guess it is subjective. I am not very familiar with ICM either but I really like the contrast between the vertical light(?) lines and the mystery Cathedral and people on the side.

Marge, I see what you mean about adding more contrast to made the petals look more interesting. This picture was taken at Magnolia Gardens in Charleston and they had so many different colored poppies, but the orange was definitely my favorite also. Thank you for your thoughts. |

Kurtis, I like how you boosted the contrast by reducing the highlights and increasing shadows. Had not thought about doing that; I think the flower looks better. Plus, not flipping it and cropping in closer gives it a different look that I am not opposed to. Thank you for taking the time to re-editing this and sharing your thoughts! And, no problem with the watermark appearing. |

Art, I like how you improved the flower, extra contrast and sharpening makes a difference! Did you use Topaz for sharpening or something else. Also, I prefer the way you cropped it. The border seems normal since I use it on my photos on my blog but it is not necessary. Thank you!! |

Xiao, I think you did a wonderful job capturing this beautiful bird in his environment. My only thought is I agree with Maria that perhaps the bird is just a little too bright. This is a great composition with lots of nice details. |

Jack, when first seeing these owlets, I felt like I could reach out and touch their soft feathers, they look so real! Your closeup is so tack sharp. It is also great all three have their eyes open and each one has a different expression on its' face. A terrific picture!! |

I agree with your thinking and giving the bird plenty of space to land although, should you elect to crop it a bit, maybe just a little bit on the left side. This is a great picture! |

Richard, thank you for sharing your thoughts. I bet you have a lot of great bird pictures from Magnolia Swamp. This was taken a few years ago before the swamp went into a decline but I hear it has recently come back. I am looking forward to returning. |

Thank you Maria, I feel fortunate the sunlight reflected off of the seasonal feathers on the adult plus the chicks' bodies. I will work further on the blown out parts on the adult and hopefully bring out more details. |

Tom, thank you. I will go back to see if I can recover some details on the bird's back and head. Unfortunate, this was shot at mid-day under the bright sun since I was participating in our photography club outing at the time.🙠|
