Somehow the B&W version I originally submitted didn't get posted (original 2 above is just a duplicate of main pic). Here it is. I agree with you, a white sky in B&W is more appealing than one in colour. For this pic, I think the color version is better. But as others have said, neither version solves the problem of the hidden face of one of the 5 monkeys. |

I too like the original better. Here's a crop of the original which puts the slot and 2 stacks on the vertical rule of thirds. I think the colour might offer more interest than the B&W. |

Larry, nice pic and effect. There seems to be some hard edge artefacts, maybe alignment of layers during stacking? .

Nice colours. Can't add anything to above comments, and agree with a tighter crop. July-August-Sept is height of the migration in the northern Serengeti (and Mara region), did you get any of that action, or did drought conditions impact migration?

The bear is staring at the photographer, so without much story beyond that aspect, maybe crop really tightly on the face. Any shots of the parent and yearlings feeding on that whale carcass?
I haven't been to Svalbard but I have photographed these northern beauties in Churchill (Canada), where the polar bears congregate in November before heading out onto Hudson Bay when the ice forms. Gorgeous animals, but the lighting can be difficult, and I notice a small area on the back of yours where the highlights seem problematic.

Nicely timed. The underwing anatomical detail is amazing. Would make a nice sequence if you have pre and post liftoff shots. I won't add to the crop of cropping suggestions, but I notice a small bright spot at base of the neck that might be recovered, hardly noticeable in such a great shot.

Interesting technique and worthwhile. As Cindy pointed out, the beak is blurred by foliage, and agree that overall it's a bit too busy. |

Larry: I just noticed that the description above talks about Venice. I've been there, but that's not where I found these monkeys. Not sure how that mixup occurred. |

Lol, yes, it looks a little underexposed (total black). Not sure what happened. Here's what it's supposed to look like... |
