49 Jan 25 Comment Thanks Alan and Josh. What intrigued me about this image was the flame like structure in the center. I got that sharp. I should have gotten the surrounding edges sharp as well. Thanks for your feedback! Jan 23rd
49 Jan 25 Reply OK, thanks. I wasn't sure about that! Jan 10th

67 Jan 25 Comment Bud,
Both eagles are very sharp without any merging! Excellent. Love the fish in the mature eagle's mouth. It's too bad that you had to deal with a background that is blue and then green. But hey, that is what nature gave you!		 Jan 7th
67 Jan 25 Comment Larry,
I've never seen this bird, so thanks for the introduction! Love the yellow legs and the claws! Very clean background! Only a couple of suggestions. Seems like there is a light halo around the bird. Also, I might try sharpening the bird. 		Jan 7th
67 Jan 25 Comment Cindy,
Well I have never been to this event, but I think you just put it on my bucket list! There is a lake in PA where thousands of snow geese hang out this time of year. I felt challenged in trying to get a good image. Do you go with getting all at once, which is what you did, but then of course the birds pretty much merge together. Or do you try to find groupings of them where each bird is distinct? I went with the latter approach, but would love to hear what others think.		 Jan 7th
67 Jan 25 Comment Michael,
I won't repeat the great advice that Larry provided. Yes, a faster shutter speed and a tripod are a must! So, let me focus on what concerned me about this image. You have 3 birds. The left one covers most of the bird behind it, but not completely. So, you have the problem of one object merging with another. You could try to clone out the back bird, but that would be hard, or you could crop the image from the bottom, so that it focuses our attention oon the wings and the heads of the birds. You might try to run the image through topaz sharpen? 		Jan 7th
67 Jan 25 Reply Thanks for your thoughts Larry. I guess I'm always concern about pushing the whites and blacks too much so that I might get black holes or over exposed areas. I'll give it a try and post it. Jan 5th
