40 Aug 23 Comment Hello Henry, I am visiting from Group 52 at Andrew's request. This image makes me think of spring - everyting I see looks fresh and new. The fawn appears to me to be curious about what has entered his environment. I agree with Mike that less space in front would help me focus in on the fawn who has his head turned toward the camera. The yellow flowers work well with all the green. One suggstion I have would be to slightly tone down the saturation and luminence of the green. Green is the easies color for the human eye to detect. and you don't want it to become the star of the show, stealing attention from the fawn. Aug 27th
40 Aug 23 Comment Hi Catherine/ I am visiting again from Group 52. I find Great Egrets compelling subjects. In this capture I sense the power of this beautiful bird. The wing in in the down position seems to work well for me. However, the right wing shades the head and torso quite a bit and makes the eye less visible. I am wondering if you were doing burst shooting a perhaps have another frame in which both wings are in power positions? For this frame, I feel that the crop in front of the Egret is too tight. A litle more space in front would add to the sense of forward flight. Keep at it...it is worth the hunt, and I bet you are gaining a lot of confidence in shooting birds in flight. Aug 27th

52 Aug 23 Comment I am struck by the amazing detail in the bird. I like the fact that the lighting has made the wings sort of translucent. The angle of the shot allows the viewer to see alot of detail in the underside of the bird that we often miss. I always have this "thing" about wanting to see the feet and have them be tack sharp and you have done it here. I also like that you included the foliage so that there is some "story" in the image rather than just a bird portrait, Aug 13th
52 Aug 23 Comment I think you have captured a perfect specimen, and that your choice of underexposing the background has given you very artistic results. Both the butterfly and the flower are very sharp, and I like the wing position. I agree with Pam that a very narrow border would help set the image off against the black background. Overall, I think this is a well-done image. Aug 13th
52 Aug 23 Comment The mama duck watching over her babies is a good nature story. I brought your image into LR and when I saw it larger I realizwd you do have the catch light in the mama's eye as well as in the eye brown duckling...it just can't be seen in the small image we have posted here. I welected the water and reduced exposure, contast. then in the HSL panel I reduce blue luninosity and increased yellow luminosity. SEe my visual feed and see what you think. Aug 13th
52 Aug 23 Comment I am a huge fan of high key images and often try to shoot birds against these bright white backgrounds, so this image really appeals to me. The vertical crop and the fact that you left more space in front of the heron are, in my opinion, strong compositional elements. The sugject looks sharp to me with pelenty of detail in the feathers, but the branch it is perched on looks a bit over-sharpened. Other than that I think you have a fine capture here, Aug 13th
52 Aug 23 Comment The drama in this scene pulls me in and makes me want to keep looking, I think it has an Ansel Adams quality to it. Your choice of presenting it in monochrome seems right to me. The sky in my opinion looks a little "muddy" and doesn't add to the story. I believe it if iwere mine I would crop to just below the tree line. The upper part of the steam clound doesn't appear to have a lot of detail, so I do not think that would be a big loss. When I eliminate the sky I feel it is more contrasty and it pops. Aug 13th
52 Aug 23 Comment I am captivated by this image. Right off the bat I peferred the color version with the black background. For me there are two things about this image that I feel create impact. The first is the color which suggests royalty to me. The second is the circle which l believe contributes not only an organic feel, but a suggests unity or a sense of wholeness, and to my way of thinking, a spiritual element. Think about what a halo connotes. I would not change a thing about this image. Aug 13th
52 Aug 23 Reply Thanks, Judith. With that extender on I can't get closer than about 6 ft. from the subject. As this image is now, it would be ok in Nature, but if I remove that white spot it would have to go in PIDC. What I will do is make two versions and try it in both divisions. Sometimes I like to flip a subject, but for me, that is not a hard and fast rule. I think in my own mind it depends on where I want the viewers eye to go. In this case, I feel like it would be the head and probiscus where the butterfly is working on extracting nectar. For me, that is the story in this image. Aug 13th
