I like this as a record shot of some typical Vietnamese construction, showing detail of the construction and the texture of the walls. I feel it could need another strong element to really hold the viewers attention, as there are 5 detail elements currently competing for attention. I can also see a couple of stronger images within by making the brush and stick as the main centre of interest, that could be achieved by cropping off some of the other elements. |

Modern zoos have made great strides to create realistic looking spaces and backdrops for their animals. Photographing the black great apes like gorillas and chimps is always a challenge in trying to retain good fur detail without overexposing their surroundings particularly on a sunny day. I feel that your mono conversion was very appropriate on this occasion. I like your concentration on the baby rather than the mother. |

Well done to capture and freeze the wings of the bird in flight. To me you have retained too much in the frame, the leaf at the base and the flowers bottom right both detract from the iridescence of the bird. I also do not like the current trends in creating set ups for photographers, they tend to create a sameness in the images that are taken and usually remove the natural feel for the birds environment. The key thing however is that they almost guarantee success. |

Thats a great improvement, especially the cutting out of the buster. |

The streaks could be cloned out, but a better technique would be to make a patch on a new layer (CTR J) from just to the left of the streak, move the patch over the streak, put the layer below the main layer and then apply soft edged masking so the patch shows through. |

To me this is a very well seen image, that most photographers would pass by. The mono treatment is very appropriate as it eliminates any possible colour distraction.
Flipping the image horizontally, creates an other excellent image as it increases the importance of the glasses, and therefore potentially changes the story behind the image.

Your club appears to have been setting you a number of interesting projects/challenges. I like your concept of the covid buster, and I can appreciate the struggles you had an achieving your final image. I feel that your positioning of the buster and the viral spheres again the dark back ground is very good, however I think that the vertical sign is far too bright and draws attention away from the buster. The buster really needs better cutting out, this would remove the halo around him and anchor him to the ground. You would need to go to view at 300-500% to get do this very accurately. |

This is good image of the heron, you have timed it well to wait until it had a fish in its beak. I like the way that it almost goes along a diagonal, and has got a reasonable amount of space around it. You have got good feather detail on its body and the softer feather detail on its neck is because the feathers are wet from fishing. In this type of situation it is a good idea to take a rapid sequence of images, whilst it has food in its beak as the positioning of the fish can often greatly improve the final image. (A similar situation can also apply to animals' tails) |
