Thanks Stephen. My idea is to make you feel you are there |

Thanks Sophia. My idea was to have the two side trees frame the scene with the focus on the central tree. I liked the leading lines provided by the mossy fallen branches. |

Thanks Oliver. This creates a more forbidding feeling. |

HI Sophia. You have a wonderful knack of capturing these large birds. So much drama. Love the image. I think Oliver's treatment of the bird adds a lot but none of the sky replacements work for me: simply because they are so obvious. The problem is that the midground in the image is already totally out of focus (great) but then the skys are quite well defined giving an odd look overall. One approach would be to extend the midground to the top of the frame so there is no sky Or extend the soft focus trees up to the top of the frame. |

Hi Oliver, nice job dealing with the harsh light. I like his cheerful face and wonder if that should be the focus. Eg crop off his hand leaving enough of the accordion to tell us the story. |

Hi Candia, I love the mood of this image and the high contrast BW treatment. In processing it did make me want to be a lot more minimalist and I thought there was also an image there just shot through the reeds in the foreground. I thought the mood could be conveyed with less canvas such as the attached crop |

Hi David, I love this image. As supported by the second image, he is very authentic. He agrees with taking the photo but with a world of weariness that goes with the nature of his business. |

Its a beautiful capture. For me its a very high contrast image which hides some of the detail in its wings. Maybe that is a consequence of the saturation, assuming you increased it in processing. Since as you say, saturation comes up a lot in responses, I wonder if it is a monitor issue? Eg do they look fine on a different device? |
