Hi Oliver. Thanks for your comment. I took a vast range of shots at the venue through to head shots but the underlying theme was about environmental portraits at the Civic Theatre so it's not just about the model. Your interpretation focuses on the model. |

There really is hellfire in this chap. Looking into the eyes of a demon. The lighting is great and the off axis view turns the smile into a snarl. |

HI Richard, Laura is beautiful. Well framed by the natural vignette provided by the background foliage. Posing provides leading lines back to her face. Bit distracted by the prominent weed behind her on the left hand side. |

Hi David, great capture. Must say I am really enjoying all the images this month. Noted your edits and going in a different direction to you and Oliver, thought about what could be done preserving more of the original image. Why? Because of the way the gaze of all the players focus us in on the decisive moment! This would mean cloning out the spectators and I have not tried that. Obviously it would be a lot of work. |

Hi Oliver. Its a complex image and I wonder if it could have been cropped in more. The flower is nicely framed by the foliage. One thing hard to deal with now (and understanding the story of the image) is we don't get a clear shot of the white flower. Sounds like you didn't intend to make it so in the first instance so share your pain! |

Love this Candia. The tones are so complementary and the justaposition works really well. Assumed it was a single capture and that you have reflections of another building as well that repeat the soft brown tones. I like the rotation that gives a strong vertical line on the left-hand side to anchor the whole image. Not sure what I would try if it were me. Maybe the contrast in the right side is a little much. Be interesting to move the tones of the right side to reflect the aqua in the left a little more. |

I am always interested in camera settings for birds because its such a compromise if the light is poor. In this instance it looks light the shutter would have been faster eg I have a similar shot from recently where the settings were 1/1000 f8 and ISO 160 (I use Auto ISO for these to ensure a minimum shutter speed) BTW do you use Topaz Denoise AI? Its fantastic for removing noise due to high ISO. I am happy with ISO 6400 in order to get a fast shutter knowing I can fix the noise. https://flic.kr/p/2mzuDzw

Hi Nick. This is a great shot and always a plus to get the bird actually doing something. I love shooting nature and know how hard it is to get a well exposed image against a bright sky. I don't have any critique really...well maybe to check out any blown highlights on the top of the bird in the direct sun. I can't tell from the digital image. I am sure you are on to it. Loving these more than the creative composites! Just my preference!!! |
