52 Jan 25 Reply Thank's Polly. I believe you all have convinced me that the image needs to be cooled down a bit. Jan 18th
52 Jan 25 Reply Thank's Ally. I think ou are correct about the green. Good suggestion. Jan 18th
52 Jan 25 Reply Now that you pont it out I see that the yellow-green folaige is the brighter part of the image and it does draw the eye away from the heron. That definitely needs a targetd adjustment. Thanks. Jan 14th
52 Jan 25 Comment i absolutely agree with you! The difficulty of getting everything right when photographing hummingbirds can make a photographer crazy! But it is what keeps me returning to this subject.
Many people do not realize that the feathers are transluscent so the color depnds on the light. I find that it takes a great deal of patience and capturing many frames to have any chance of getting it right.
Then there is the issue of getting the light right on the bird without getting blown out highlights on the flower. Personally, I would clone out the white spots on the petals. Otherwise this is a lovely image and one I would consider for printing and/or entering into competition.		 Jan 12th
52 Jan 25 Comment I went back and forth on this quite a bit, but I think I prefer the red leaf over the gold. I appreciate the effect of all the different textures in the background. I think this image has a lot of potential. My personal rule of thumg is to simply whenever possilbe. Having said that, I think this image would be stronger if you removed all the twigs and cropped in close so that the the leaf nearly fills the frame. Jan 12th
52 Jan 25 Comment To me this is a nice sharp capture of the grebe and his catch. The light from the right allowed you to get the catch light in its eye which makes it look very life-like. I think your decision to remove the bright reed was correct, but I would also consider rmoving the three reeds in the background. I fing that the complementary colors are very pretty. My only other suggestion would be to do some subtle dodging on the darkest areas of the bird to try to bring out a little more detail. Nice work. Jan 12th
52 Jan 25 Comment To me this is a nice sharp portrait of the bird (some type of sparrow?) The eye looks sharp to me an has a tiny catch light. Your choice of aperture allows the subject to be in focus with just a tiny bit of fall-off in the grass around it and a very nice bokeh on the background. In my opinion this is the perfect depth of field for wildlife. Well done. Jan 12th
52 Jan 25 Comment I think you chose the perfect shutter speed - at least for my tastes - to get the water silky smooth. That is often tricky to do without blowing out highlights, but I think you have nailed it. I like the crop because it leaves a little bit of the rock on the left and right to frame it but it does not overwhelm the center of interest. My only suggestion (clearly a nit-pick) is to take a closer look at the endge of the rock on the left. I believe there is a slight halo or chromatic aberation which can be easily removed. Jan 12th
52 Jan 25 Reply Thanks for your comments, Judith. I think you may be right that the image is a little too warm. However, since you mentioned that you have only seen a few Great blue herons I am wondering if you have ever seen one in breeding colors. They have that coloring on the neck during that time, Jan 12th
