52 Mar 25 Reply We also had bad weather for teh Christmas bird count. But Arkansas is known as the Waterfowl Capitol of the US and our duck population is also down. Tyson is here and many farmers raise poultry for them so avian flu is also a concern. In my opinon habitat loss and climate change are wreaking havoc on the bird population worldwide. So sad.

52 Mar 25 Reply Glad to hear you are a fellow Audubon member. Also glad to hear you did not use flash photography...you found natural spectacular light! We are very active with our local club, lead bird ID classes &do the bird counts. We are seeing dimishing numbers of birds in our region the last few years. Are you seeing the same in your area?

52 Mar 25 Comment This is another spetacular sot to add to your collection. I like the soft diagonal formed by the body of the Wood stork and the color is gorgeous. The bird is in beutiful light and the story is strong, Very impactful! Mar 13th
52 Mar 25 Comment The difficulty of this type of shot cannot be overestimated. I find the pollen sacks these tiny creatures casry absolutley amazing. I think you have made a very severe crop which - even if the bee was tack sharp to being with - has resulted in a significant softening. My guess is that your focus point was not actually ob the bee so it may not have been in focus to start with. You might havemore success capturing a shot of a bee when it is hovering near a flower. Good luck. Mar 13th
52 Mar 25 Comment I have always wanted to find a humming bird's nest...I try to track them as they leave the feeder, but have never been successful in figuring out where the nest is. i am amazed that you were able to get so close. I basically agree with all of Pam's suggestions and would add that you might try to slightly lighten the bill of the chick as I feel it almost fades away into the darkness. The light on the nest is perfect in my opinion...it almost looks like flash was used. I like this image a lot. Mar 13th
52 Mar 25 Comment I think you have captured a decisive moment, Tom. I admire your patience and persistence. Inmmy opion you have done a good job cloning out the distracting branch - I see no eecidence of clone tracks. Both subjects eyes are tack sharp which I know is often a challenge to accomplish. I too would like to see the unedited version to hlep me better appreciate how you have brought out the detail. Since you can't use this in Nature anyhow, why not consider a slight vignette to hold the viewer's eye in the frame. Mar 13th
52 Mar 25 Comment That ominous stare captures my attention immediately. I think the sidelight works well to bring out the detail in the feathers, but it has left the eye somewhat shade. I might suggest doing a bit of dodging there to get a little more light n the eye. The background is free of distraction and really makes this a nice portrait in my opinion. the negative space on the right adds to the impact, but for me there is a bit too much. I think a slight crop there would be helpful. Mar 13th
52 Mar 25 Comment Thanks, Pam. The spots can't be removed under Nature Division rules, but if I ever use this in a open color section that is a good suggestion. Mar 13th
