Hi Larry: Going back now and doing a close examination with your reveal, I think the Ai did about what you could have done quicker with the clone/repair tools. Nonetheless, I agree wholeheartedly with everything you said. The new changes to Photoshop and especially Lightroom Classic 13.0 really give us terrific tools to produce beautiful images for our enjoyment. |

Hi David: Nice attempt. I've seen so many shots like this but haven't tried myself, so I'm in no position to comment. I think this is a good foreground shot.

Hi Susan:
I share the dislike for these leather-headed monsters. But they make good practice targets for BIF. Sometimes you can lose the halo by masking your subject; and then subtracting the Sky. This is a nice job of the bird with an attractive branch. |

Cindy - I love the Capuchin. My departed father had one, and that love affair continued for years. This is an incredibly difficult shot to capture and process. You managed to get the monkey really sharp, but the over-bright leaves in the foreground detract from its darling face. I don't want to make any comments on post-processing because I would have been overwhelmed by the challenges of this photo. Congratulations on a great capture and preserving this sweet image. |

Michael: I like everything about this image. I've never been to the Badlands, and now I see why they are named such. I agree about f/16, but you make a decision at shot time and go with it. Second guessing after the fact is only worthwhile as a learning opportunity. I like your lighting and the inclusion of the other photographer. Well done! |

I did lighten the fish slightly in LRC, but I didn't want to overdo it because of its position in the right talon under the tail feathers. I was reluctant to lighten the underside of the eagle's left wing because the sun's direction (see the right wing) wouldn't have made it believable. Yes, 6400 was too high, but I find I sometimes spin the top back dial inadvertently. Mea culpa! 😉 |

Richard - Great butterfly capture! It's a terrific image overall. I think I might have done a 1x1 square and cropped out the out-of-focus/overbright flower on the left. As Larry reminds us frequently, "the eyes are drawn to bright areas." If they don't add to the scene, I think they should be darkened or removed. The square image takes my breath away. |

Hi Larry, this is a really nice image, but I feel like I'm looking at a fun house mirror. I have a few thousand black bear images and have never seen a black bear that narrow and thin from front to back. It may just be the camera angle, or it may be the difference between the Alaskan black bears and the Appalachian variety. All the black bears I have seen and photographed from the West Coast and Alaska are broad of shoulder and girth. They may get that way from their healthy summer diet of salmon. I had to come back to the photo time and again to make sure it was a bear and not a dog.
Given the surprise location, I'm sure it gave you a start. I've never heard of a bear attack leaping from a tree, though. Kudos to you for not disclosing the encounter to others nearby. |
