2 Nov 25 Comment Jim, gorgeous HDR image. Have walked those docks many times. Your image is tack sharp and has great color, definition, visual impact and interest. The sun is also a plus. Well done. Nov 4th

15 Nov 25 Comment Doug, this is one of those images that I wouldn't change a thing. Breath-taking! There are no distracting elements in the frame and the sharpness and detail of the eagles is outstanding. Eagles are magnificent! Nov 4th

21 Nov 25 Reply Thank you for your comments Jim. I wish I could tell you this image has done well in competition but it hasn't. Judges seem to want a fish in his mouth. Nov 24th
21 Nov 25 Reply Thank you for your comments Leslie and yes he was in serious fishing mode. Nov 24th
21 Nov 25 Reply Thanks for your comments Mike, most of our cormorants are not this beautiful. Nov 24th
21 Nov 25 Reply Thanks Jim, nature is beautiful. Nov 24th
21 Nov 25 Reply Thanks Michael. Their eyes are amazing! Nov 24th
21 Nov 25 Comment Jim, this is another one of yours that looks like a piece of art or an oil painting. The background really makes them pop. Excellent composition, and all technical aspects are outstanding. Nov 4th
21 Nov 25 Comment Leslie, Black-Crowned Night Herons are one of my favorite birds. They don't seem to have a fear of man and around here and you can normally get quite close. The lighting accentuates the story and I like him somewhat camouflaged. The eye and head is super! Nice catch! Nov 4th
21 Nov 25 Comment Mike, super image of an inflight cormorant. You had to be shooting fast because he is stoped cold. Great job in freezing the action and having the sharpness right on the bird. The surrounding water also compliments the bird. Nov 4th
21 Nov 25 Comment Ted, this is a magnificent image of a Hornbill. There are no distracting elements in the frame and it has great color, sharpness and definition. Hope you don't mind but I did think there was too much space on the right side so I cropped it. Nov 4th
21 Nov 25 Reply Thank you Ted for your comments. I had never seen a cormorant with such a reddish orange face. The natives of the area said it was because of the fish they eat. Nov 4th

48 Nov 25 Comment Bridget, I am thrilled with your imagination in this image and hope you don't mind I am still playing with it. I moved the statue so your eye and tree elements are prominent. Emphasizing the eye and tree elements by shifting the statue could create a stronger visual focal point and a more intentional flow through the scene. What do you think?

48 Nov 25 Reply Donald , thank you for the info on the steam engine and the very interesting image. Nov 14th
48 Nov 25 Reply Blue should be blur... Nov 8th
48 Nov 25 Comment Richard, not sure you achieved what you were trying to but it certainly is fun trying. I had a panning category in a club competition last year and it was very tough to get the moving subject stoped and everything else a blue. Still an interesting shot. Do they actually pedal all the way with their arms? Nov 4th
48 Nov 25 Comment Donald this is a great image can that go two ways. First of all, a human interest story and secondly if cropped tighter a documentary as to how a steam engine used to get turned around. Your image is very sharp and has very good visual interest and impact. Nov 4th
48 Nov 25 Comment Bridget, love this image. I think you put a lot of thought into this image. Very creative. Hope you don't mind but I changed it around a little for impact. Really like both your way and my way. What do you think? Nov 3rd
48 Nov 25 Comment Jamie, outstanding image of a sleeping lion. The lighting accentuates the story and it is sharp as a tack. The only thing that bothered me was the cut off tail so I removed it. Will act like he was sleeping on his tail. Nice catch. Nov 3rd
48 Nov 25 Comment Bev, great image of a Gold Fish. I have taken many images of his in tanks and if the glass is clean they have come out very well. I hope you don't mind but I took the liberty to play with your image. I removed the pipe and several blurry fish in the background and now I think the main subject fish really pops. Let me know what you think? Nov 3rd
48 Nov 25 Reply Thank you Jamie, I don't think he was afraid of me at all. I shot about 40 all different angles of him. I think he wanted to be paid! Nov 3rd

71 Nov 25 Reply Stephen thank you for your comments. Here is one of the many originals. You can see why it had to be adjusted. Thank you for your interest. Nov 17th
71 Nov 25 Reply Thank you Spring, it is not a real HDR just the effects of the Aurora program which I thought suited this perfectly. Nov 17th
71 Nov 25 Reply Thank you Mike, I shot the stairwell from down very low and then high on a balcony and I thought the high one had more impact. Nov 17th
71 Nov 25 Reply Thank you Michele, I thought this center courtyard made for an interesting image. Nov 17th
71 Nov 25 Comment John, absolutely a gorgeous image. Wouldn't change a thing. Perfect crop and excellent sharpness and detail. Outstanding! Nov 4th
71 Nov 25 Comment Mike, this is an excellent documentary shot and really communicates a story. I don't think I would want to be that close to the big ram, he certainly looks like he has a mind of his own. Has great color, sharpness and definition. Wish the one dog wasn't cut off but I sure there was a lot of action going on. Nov 4th
71 Nov 25 Comment Spring, love the star trails and the evening colors. Can't find anything I would change. Great visual impact and interest. Excellent! Nov 4th
71 Nov 25 Comment Michele, this is an image where I like both the color version and monochrome. In the mono I think the Wall is sharper and yet in the color version I feel there is more detail as far as the Wall and ancillary structures. Michele, you really get around. Either you have the best job in the world or just like to travel. Super image. Nov 4th
71 Nov 25 Comment Dennis, this is a picture perfect image of the falls and bridge. At first I didn't like the small dot of sky in the top center but after further study I think it is needed for prospective. Excellent composition and all technical aspect to me are outstanding. Nov 4th
71 Nov 25 Reply Thank you for your kind words Jennie. I may have put this image into the Aurora HDR program and thusly the unusual look. Nov 4th
