52 Jun 24 Reply Nothing ventured, nothing gained! Jun 12th
52 Jun 24 Comment I suspect you shared this image as a teaching tool. Thank for that...the goal is to learn and improve our phtography. I see you have not cropped, and I would bet your real final image of this will be just the jumping owl without the man-made feature or the blurred subject top right. I am sure it will be a winner! Jun 12th
52 Jun 24 Comment How lovely to have the foxes nearby. He must have b een totally oblivious to you. The subject appears to be a little bit soft in my opinon. I think if you get another opportunity you may want to try the widest possible aperture, which I belive at 500mm will be f/8, and increase you shutter speed to 1/2500 or more. That should stop the action and nicely blur the background for you. I would also suggest evaluative metering. Good luck. Jun 12th
52 Jun 24 Comment Good catch! These are not eay to capture in flight. I understand what you are saying about the conditions and the slope, but I would still try to straighten in out a bit as viewers will not have that information, generally speaking. As it is, it feels like the gyroscope is bit off. I think you have done well to get both the flowers and the bird in focus. I might consider removing the OOF flowers on the bottom right though. (Of course, none of that is permitted if you intend to use this image in a Nature competition) The colors are complimentary and very appealing to me. Jun 12th
52 Jun 24 Comment What a fun image...a bird behavior we do not see every day. T0 me, the colors pop and the eye is sharp. Well done in my opinon. Jun 12th
52 Jun 24 Comment I agree that this image has strong compositional elements. To me, the background is not so pixelated that it is an issue. However, in my opinon there is a lack of detail in the white areas on the throat and abdomen. This may be hard to tone down as reducing the exposure will likely produce a gray tone. In these contrasty situations I usually try to slightly underexpose the subject as it is easier to bring up the shadows than to tone down the highlights. Of course that goes against the advice to expose to the right, but with birds that have any amount of white on them, I personally find it works better. Jun 12th
52 Jun 24 Comment Frighteninglty close! I think this is a well-done portrait of a bison. The background on the right is nicely blurred - good choice of aperture, in my opinion; but for me, it does not help the image. Have you considered a square crop? I then to believe that non-traditional crops lend interest. Try it and see what you think. Jun 12th
52 Jun 24 Reply Thanks, Polly. I agree with the suggestion to do some work on the buds. I don't know if you have any experience with submitting images in the Nature Divison (our study group is in PID, so there are few rules) but in Nature vignettes are not permitted. So if you have an image that you think is competition worthy in Nature that is something you want to avoid. Jun 12th
52 Jun 24 Reply Good suggestion on burning those buds, Mike. I can't do the vignette as I would like to use this in Nature and vignettes are not permitted. MAybe if I decide ot print it for PIDC I can remember to do that, though. Jun 12th
52 Jun 24 Reply Thanks for your feedback, Ally. It has taken me more than 4 years to get the polinator garden to this stage. Like photography, it requires a lot of work and patience. Jun 12th
