67 Sep 23 Comment David, I'm sorry but my first look gave me scraps of paper cutouts laying on a dark cloth with a muddy picture of some clouds behind it. Art is in the eye of the beholder (sic) and my eyes are getting older by the day. Sep 24th
67 Sep 23 Reply Thanks, Larry. I'll go back to this one and take out the raindrops when I get some time. Sep 24th
67 Sep 23 Comment Richard, a truly terrific shot! That's one I would frame and hang on the wall. Nice job. Sep 24th
67 Sep 23 Comment Cindy, I think you've been leading us all on. You're really a pro and on this site for fun, aren't you?

Animal = Perfect!

Background = Too busy (gradient darken?)		 Sep 24th
67 Sep 23 Comment Susan - how lucky you got a trip to Costa Rica! I have tried to get there for years but haven't made it so far. That is a wonderful bird I haven't seen before. You got a really nice pose. It looks like he was as curious about you as you were about him. The D500 with the 300 f/4 PF is great for birds. I have them both, and even those I switched to Z gear, I kept those for the lightness and quality. You can't go wrong with them. I like what Richard has done to clean up the image. Now, you can go back through your thousands of Costa Rica images and bring out some winners. Sep 24th
67 Sep 23 Comment Michael, that is a unique capture, to be sure. I love the bird's color, and getting it in focus coming straight at you was quite a feat. I agree that the branches distract from the subject, your bird. As Cindy mentioned, a vertical crop would have helped significantly. Then, darkening the background much more to emphasize the bird would be dazzling. Sep 24th
67 Sep 23 Comment Great photo, Larry. Excellent planning and execution. I shot many wood storks on my trips to Florida, but the rookeries were always very crowded, making isolating individual birds difficult. You captured a great idea of the bird carrying such a large stick for nest building. Their nests are almost like those of bald eagles. Good one. Sep 24th
