27 Dec 20 Comment I really like this shot, well done in your lighting with the torch, and your retention of stars in the sky. The inclusion of the rest of the structure on the right is important, though there is a single light at the extreme right of the base that I would have cloned out.
I must admire the skill of the artist in making his artwork to appear to work continuously across the three silos, though I feel a couple of the birds look a bit out of proportion.		 Dec 8th
27 Dec 20 Comment In the UK we would identify this as a Barn Owl. The handler has made a good job of trying to conceal the jesses on the bird and your conversion to mono has also helped. I would crop off the gap to the left of the tree as it distracts from the bird. Dec 8th
27 Dec 20 Comment For me this image is overall too dark, the attraction really is the colour in the sky and the disk of the sun just coming through the trees. You have lost virtually all the detail on the ground. and the blue cast on the lighter areas there is very dark. I would using a gradients to lighten up and reduce the blue saturation of the base of the image, leaving the sky as it is. Dec 8th
27 Dec 20 Comment Well done to capture the shot. The main problem is the amount to branches etc surrounding the nest which are obstructing the view of the bird. I would crop your present version along the top just to remove the branch top right.
The use of multiple exposures as I commented about on Brad's shot, would possibly have given you one with the bird a little further forwards and having less obstructions in front of the lefthand wing. 		Dec 8th
27 Dec 20 Comment You found a great subject to photograph, in which detail shots would give much better results than including the whole of the vehicle. I like your framing, though I feel that it might have been better to include a little more of the curved metal on the extreme right.
I would have increased the saturation to bring up the rust colours more strongly and masked off the bright work, the headlamp and the 'flame' to keep as shot. Possibly I would have warmed the rust up slightly as well.		 Dec 8th
27 Dec 20 Comment As a pictorial image I feel that your replacing of the sky has greatly improved it, though due to the cloud being the lightest part of the image it could draw the eye away from the whale. The original bland sky was better removed either by replacement or cropping.
My next comment will also apply to Lauren's image - in these types of possible situations it is always a good idea to leave your camera set on multiple exposure as it will allow you to get a series of shots from which you can get the best body or tail position or less obstructions just in front of the subject, and you can then choose the best frame rather than being left with just one shot which is usually just after the best position being achieved.
