1 Oct 24 Comment Sol, thought this was a very good image but the only thing that was distracting was the three white fence verticals. Hope you don't mind but I removed them. I think it makes the lizard pop. What do you think? Oct 16th

2 Oct 24 Comment Shirley, very nice image but the one thing that is most important is the eye. Hope you don't mind but I brought it back, also added some sky to the top and cropped the sides. I think it is much stronger. What do you think? Oct 16th

15 Oct 24 Comment Isaac, this is a once in a lifetime shot caught at the peak of action. It also has great impact and interest. Oct 14th

21 Oct 24 Comment Ron, excellent composition. All technical aspects to me are outstanding. There are no distracting elements within the frame and it is perfectly cropped. Well done Oct 23rd
21 Oct 24 Reply Don, thank you for your comments and I certainly agree. Oct 23rd
21 Oct 24 Reply Ron, agree with you that I like Mikes version also. Thank you for your comments. Oct 15th
21 Oct 24 Reply As always, thank you for your comments Leslie. Oct 15th
21 Oct 24 Comment Gorgeous purple gallinule. The bird is tack sharp and has great color and definition. I did feel the branches in the upper left were a distraction so I cloned them out. Hope you don't mind Don. I think it makes the gallinule pop without the branch. Oct 7th
21 Oct 24 Comment Leslie, the head and eye make this image! I really like the migration of the blueish foreground water to the green in the distance. It really separates his neck and head. Wish I could say there is something I don't like but honestly it is a super image. Oct 1st
21 Oct 24 Comment Gabriele, gorgeous image. The crop could have been slightly tighter but I also like the way it was presented. Like you said, it might be slightly soft but not really enough to mention. Great color and composition. Oct 1st
21 Oct 24 Comment Excellent action shot Mike. Really like the way the tail is still in the water. Looks like the image has a slight posterizing effect. It has great visual impact and interest. Oct 1st
21 Oct 24 Reply Good morning Mike, please remember on my images, you can change, dodge, burn or whatever. That's exactly what the Digital Dialog Group purpose is, in my book. I like your subtle changes a lot. Much better! Oct 1st

46 Oct 24 Comment Outstanding Robin Maria. Great color, sharpness and definition. Perch very nice and a very non distracting background. Only minor adjustment I might make is tone down the upper right corner just slightly. Excellent! Oct 13th
46 Oct 24 Comment Sylvia, love this image! The slight turn of the head, great eye, super sharpness, the whole foreground and background and the Green Heron caught perfectly between the reeds. Wouldn't change anything. Oct 13th

48 Oct 24 Comment Mostly luck Donald. I was really shooting macro flowers and along came a bumble bee. Thanks for your comments. Oct 16th
48 Oct 24 Reply The darkening of the stem really did help. Thanks Jamie. Oct 16th
48 Oct 24 Reply Thank you for your comments Stewart. Really appreciated. Oct 16th
48 Oct 24 Reply Jamie, gorgeous image and I was just kidding about it being Bumble Bee month since I entered one also. Beautiful work. Oct 13th
48 Oct 24 Comment Jamie, this is a strong composition and perfectly cropped. The only minor adjustment that I would do would be to tone down the leaf in the lower right and tone down the stem in the lower left. Beautiful image! I see you got the memo about bumble bee month also. Just kidding. Oct 10th
48 Oct 24 Comment Janie, we are in several camera clubs and state photo organizations and AI has been banned in all of them. To me it would be very hard to prove unless an original would be required. Your above image to me I would guess is just a very slow shutter speed and not AI even though it is. The bad thing about AI is that you could produce an image and not even use a camera. Time will tell. Oct 6th
48 Oct 24 Reply Thanks Janie, I agree that the stalk darker would be better. Oct 4th
48 Oct 24 Comment Bev, this was very cleverly done. The background really makes the food pop. Very unusual, interesting and I like it! Oct 1st
48 Oct 24 Comment Janie, I'm not sure what to say about these images. The original and original 2 don't appear to even be the same image as the final. The colors are better in the original and original 2 than the final which is somewhat flat. The original and original 2 seem to have been shot very slow which I like but the ocean in the final looks as though it was shot much faster also the original and original 2 seem to have a screen over both images if you look close. Oct 1st
48 Oct 24 Comment Richard, great tack sharp action shot. Love it being taken from ground level, it really makes it. Wouldn't change anything. Oct 1st
48 Oct 24 Comment Hi Stewart, We are loaded with these Geckos in Key West. We also have the Night Geckos which are bigger, black and almost never see but do hear their chirping at night. It is a tack sharp beautiful image of a Gecho. I would normally say the background is too busy but with this Gecko I think it is appropriate and works. Well done. Oct 1st

71 Oct 24 Reply Thanks Mike, That's actually what I was going for. Something Different. Did do a lot of processing on this image. It was just after a heavy down-pour. Oct 22nd
71 Oct 24 Reply Michele, the image is real but I think I used so many techniques, adjustments, programs and filters that it looks off. Thank you for your comments. Oct 15th
71 Oct 24 Reply John, thank you for your comments. Will try a little more blue. Oct 15th
71 Oct 24 Comment John, love the balance of the three prominent buildings. I also like the bright area in the upper left then trailing off to dark on the right. Doesn't really need the star bursts on the left. Super image of Florence. Oct 6th
71 Oct 24 Comment Michele, sounds still like you had a fun evening! Were you anywhere near Mabry Mill? Love the stars and trails. Maybe just tone down the side of the church a slight bit. We have a rusty old bridge in the Florida Keys where we have tried so many times to get a super moon coming through but have failed miserably every time. Oct 6th

91 Oct 24 Comment Cindy, your Western Wood Pewee couldn't be any better! Very nice non-distracting background, the branch is a strong leading line and the Pewee has great color, sharpness and definition. Oct 14th
91 Oct 24 Comment This image is a pure work of art Bruce. It has huge visual impact and interest. Background is perfect and I wouldn't change a thing anywhere in this image. Oct 7th

97 Oct 24 Comment Excellent Oystercatchers. I sure hope Fort DeSoto comes back after being thoroughly beat up by two hurricanes. Great catch, super eyes and and a very nice non-distracting background. Oct 14th
97 Oct 24 Comment Julia, just a gorgeous example of a Red-Headed Woodpecker. Do agree with Roy that it needs a little more room on the left but other than that just beautiful. Oct 14th
97 Oct 24 Comment Peter, I am not not normally a fan of high key in nature but you Gannets are a pure work of art. They look like a piece that should be in a museum. Well done. Oct 14th
