Hi Jim. You have created a real sense of warmth in the entrance stairs and generally through the image and this creates a strong emotional connection speaking to you affection for the community. Bright, sunlit and warm. I don't feel I have much to suggest, but it is quite tightly cropped so give us a little more from the original capture? |

Wow. That tear on the son's face. And is that mom or sister in the background with a Kleenex out too. Such an emotional moment. Looks like Dad was in Service too. There is a strong connection between them...all in your grandson's eye. This really tells a story. A wider crop would tell more of the story such as the strong airforce connections eg the small girl.
But I think your tight crop brings out a key moment |

You are such a great role model for nature photography. 600 shots for one great keeper. Well done. Not sure I would have that level of patience. But so worth it. When I clicked on the image it gave me a oversized view and I liked a crop much more radical than the one you have used. That central bee has plenty of detail and stands out in the sunlight. The bees behind it are soft but that just focusses our attention on the flying bee. Congratulations!!! |

Hi Pete
Great natural history image. I like the warm colors and the simple composition. The eyes are sharp but the softer areas should come up quite well in Topaz. So I tried that out and also darkened the rear-wards wing. |

Hi David what an awesome photo and good on you for having the patience to stay on and wait for the perfect opportunity. I think for me the branch he is leaping from is a dominant element in the frame and while its an important part of the story, I think I would darken it a bit and reduce the sharpness so our eye is not attracted there unduly. I like your strategy to reduce the impact of the background. TBH I think you have pushed the boundaries of sharpening as the coat on his body is showing odd artefacts. Interesting that the tip of his tail and the branch seem in focus but not his body. Maybe that is a combination of shutter and a focus point on his leaping off point.
But never mind all that...it conveys such a wonderful story its well worth sharing. |

Hi Keisha, really loving being part of this journey with you. I hope we are up to the task of creating some feedback which is helpful. This is not an area of any strength on my part so ignore what I suggest unless it resonates with you too. I think the black and white is an interesting choice. For sure it disguises the origin of the image very well. I don't think we would pick it as a rose without the colour cue. But I love color so I wonder if there is a way to introduce some color back. For example, in Photoshop you could have the original color layer there at a reduced opacity so some of the pink comes through. I agree with your hint about the focal point of the image. Shot closer we would have fewer drops in the frame and that might give a stronger composition.
