52 Dec 25 Comment Since moving to Arkansas a number of years ago I have learned to love the swamps and bayous. To me they are moody, mysterious and beautiful. That is exactly what I see in this image. These yellow flowers are common in the bayous in late summer and early fall. To me the story is how ancient the bald cypress trees are and how fresh and new the flowers are.

I think the crop you chose puts the focus right where the party is and eliminates the distracting bright spots above. Your post processing has produced a work of art in my opinion.		 Dec 16th
52 Dec 25 Comment I was smitten by the beautiful color in this image. But I wanted to play with it...I hope you don't mind.
I put it into LR and looked at the histogram. The whites in the top right were over exposed and there were no pixels on the left (dark) end of the histogram. I corrected it by moving white and black sliders. The top corner still looked too birght to me so I rotated the image to eliminate that area. I increased clarity and vibrance then went to the tone curve and pulled the mid-tone area down just a bit.
Of course this is just my interpretation and may not suit your artistic taste. Its just another thought to consider. 		Dec 16th
52 Dec 25 Comment I think grebes are adorable and this one is pretty entertaining. To me the color palette works well with the rust and blues, and the refleciton adds interest. I see that the eye is sharp and you have captured the catch light so this guy looks very life-like to me.

In my opinion the slightly blurry wing feathers do take away from the overall quality of the image, but they suggest motion. I personally prefer the wings to be sharp, but that may be a matter of artistic choice. It will be interesting to see what the others think about that.

Since you have more pixels available I would suggest allowing more space in front of the bird to increase the sense forward motion. Try it and see what you think.

52 Dec 25 Comment This image has an abstract quality with mainly horizontal lines which suggests to me a sense of calmness and peace. As I look at the image more I notice the pattern in the bottom half which reminds me of a woven tapestry. I can visualize this as an image on its own, especially turned to a vertical orientation. It would make a great large canvas gallery wrap in my opinion.

I belive the horizon is not straight but tilts downward to the right. That would be an easy fix, so it is something you might want to consider.		 Dec 16th
52 Dec 25 Comment First, please accept my apology for somehow getting my original on your page. I usually check after each upload ot make sure it is correct, so don't know how I missed that, but it is now removed.
This makes me smile because the brown pelican is the smallest and he is the one that caught the big fish. The story is for me is "winner takes all." In my opinon all three birds are appropriately exposed and your postprocessing has revealed a lot of detail in the feathers. In my opinon, this makes the image more interesting I can't quite tell which direction the light is coming from that allowed you to get the reflections and still have catch light in the eyes of at least the first and third birds. I a not certain the foliage at the top adds to the story and I do think it is somewhat distracting. Even though it would not leave much space above the birds you might try cropping it out and see what you think.		 Dec 16th
52 Dec 25 Comment To me this image is awe-inspiring as it seems so unspoiled by human interaction with the environment. For me there is something interesting to look at in the foreground, the middle distance and the background. The sky has definiton but not so much that it appears to me to compete with the mountains.

I notice that the the middle and the foreground seem to be a bit flat. I wonder if some selective dodge and burn in tha area would give the image more depth? Try it and see what you think.
