52 Mar 23 Comment I definitely prefere the final version. I think your background treatment is very artistic. The bright orange of the beak may be a little too bright for my taste. I find egrets challenging because I always end up with areas on the head and sometimes the neck that don't have much detail in them no matter how I expose them. You have done a great job wuth this. Present it on canvas or metal...from what I know about south Florida I'll bet this would sell. Mar 15th
52 Mar 23 Comment I see you have gotten a lot of good suggestions so I wil not repeat them. I am on the fence about his perspective. I feel a little dizzy when I look at it too long. Also, I think I prefer the color in the original image. Whatever you decide ot do, if you finish up before this round is over please let us see the final image. Mar 15th
52 Mar 23 Comment I agree that a tighter crop is needed but you may find that it becomes pixelated when you do that. (I think you mentioned you used Topaz Gigapixel, so that might be a remedy.) The action createsa nature story that is strong in my opinoin, but the buildings in the background take away from that. I feel it would be pretty difficult to blur the background without blurring the wing tips. It would be a challenge. Mar 15th
52 Mar 23 Comment This is a unique flower that I hvae not come across in my wanderings. Is it a Colorado native? I am curious about your lens choice. The "party" so to speak is that intricate center and I think this would be a fantastic ultra close macro subject. As presented, I agree that the background is too bright - it keeps drawing my eye to the outer edges of the frame. I would suggest working on the tone curve. Sometimes I find that is the easiest way to tone parts of an image down. You would want to pick the pixels on bright side but not all the way to the left so you don't affect whites. Mar 15th
52 Mar 23 Comment This is a very nice landscape image in my opinon. i was at this exact spot 4 or so years ago and had a nice sunrise but was not lucky enough to get those clouds along the horizon which I think adds a great deal on interest to your image.The reflection in the water also adds interest. I agree with Mike about removing the driftwood on the right. Other than that, I think this image is a winner. Mar 15th
52 Mar 23 Comment This is a very nice BIF portrait and in my opinon you got the perfect DOF and the subject is sharp. I wonder if it would be possible to get just a little more light in the eye?
I read the suggestions the others made and I think what you do whith this from here on depends on your audience. Are you thinking this will be in a nature gallery somewhere? If so Mike's suggestion about the blur would be something worth trying. I do not think this image is a candidate for a high key presentation, as I do no think the background will lend itself to that approach, althoud you could mask the bird and put it on a solid white layer.
Whatever you decide this image is propbably a keeper.		 Mar 15th
52 Mar 23 Reply Thanks for your feedback. I think you are correct about the crop. I am not sure about the totally white background but I will certainly try it and see how it looks. Mar 15th
52 Mar 23 Reply I agree with you about the crop. For a notecard I like to use a "Torn Paper" border in OnOne that creates that feathered look you are talking about. As for flipping, see my reply to Mike. I gave that serious consideration, but I feel my eye moves more smoothly thorugh the image in the current orientation. Mar 15th
52 Mar 23 Reply Hmmm…I thought you were judging the color projected image section of the PCAA exhibition. (If you are, don't worry, this image is not entered there.) Mar 7th
52 Mar 23 Reply Thanks, Mike. When I was processing this image I gave serious consideration to flipping it. I kept this orientation because it seemed to me that my eye went first to the beak then moved left to right which felt natural. How do you think this image would fare in CPID? Mar 7th
