46 Oct 24 Comment Hi Marilyn, you have capture a great moment of intimacy whit these colorful parrots, framing them tightly to center all the attention on that moment. The blurred background contributes to the image by avoiding distractions. I really like the contrast in colours and the fact that you can see the eyes of the two parrots.

46 Oct 24 Comment Hi Lisa, I apologize for the delay in my comments this month. Moving from Australia to Spain is a big job, and it hasn't left me enough time to sit and enjoy your images.

I really enjoy the light illuminating the egret and the nice reflection on the water. However, I find that the centered composition feels a bit static. I suggest experimenting with different crops, placing the egret on the left side.

54 Oct 24 Reply Hi Bruce, thank you for your thoughtful comment, I really appreciate your suggestions. I think that you are right the light could definitely be managed better. I am currently in the process of moving back to Spain after twelve years in Australia, so I was in a hurry creating this image to meet the month's deadline.

54 Oct 24 Comment Hi Bruce, You've mastered this composition, creating a very engaging image. Placing the girl in the foreground makes her the center of attention, which is beautifully balanced with the masculine figure in the background. The light treatment is just exquisite.

54 Oct 24 Comment Hi Alan, I really enjoy your image. I think the title and the story make it great. I like the edits that Bruce introduced, transforming the day into nigh, in my opinion, complements the story so well.

54 Oct 24 Comment Hi Kirsti, I agree with Bruce's comment about those small details, his edits corrected them an made the image more appealing to the viewer. I really love the sepia tone, it suits the image perfectly to the image.

Hi David, thank you for your suggestion about the crop. I agree-the lower part of the image is a bit distracting, and a tighter crop helps focus more on the flower.

65 Oct 24 Comment Hi Shirley, the quality of this image is amazing, especially given how well it has aged. The colours and composition work beautifully, and the background colour and texture nicely frame the flower.

65 Oct 24 Comment Hi David, I really like your composition in this image and how the light illuminates the flower, creating a beautiful semi-transparent effect. This is a very strong visual image.

65 Oct 24 Comment Hi Barbara, the colours in this Dahlia image are beautiful! The contrast makes the flower stand out wonderfully, and the level of detail and sharpness is fantastic. Well done!

65 Oct 24 Comment Hi Dick, apologies for my delay in commenting this month. I'm currently in the process of moving back to Spain after twelve years in Australia, so there hasn't been much time to sit and enjoy this month's images.

I really like how you've captured the dew on this vegetable leaf. The amount of detail and the tight framing create a very appealing image.

72 Oct 24 Reply Hi Adrian, I completely agree with the comments on my image this month. Darkening the background will make a significant difference in enhancing the grasshopper. Oct 26th
72 Oct 24 Reply Hi Isaac, thank you for your comment. I also agree that darkening the background helps the grasshopper stand out better.






Oct 26th
72 Oct 24 Reply Hi Bruce, thank you for your suggestion and comment. You're right-the color separation is minimal, so I will work on creating more light separation. Oct 26th
72 Oct 24 Comment Hi Isaac,

I apologize for my delay in commenting this month. I'm currently in the middle of moving back to Spain after twelve years living in Australia, so I haven't had much time to sit and enjoy this month's images.

I really enjoy this image; the group of elephants wrapping around the tree and their poses create a lovely scene. I can see that you've worked on darkening the background to enhance the visual separation from the elephants.However, some areas have been missed and could use revision to reduce the visual contrast in light.

72 Oct 24 Comment Hi Adrian, your image conveys a powerful story that showcases climate change effectively. Placing the block of ice in the foreground reinforces that idea. The composition is strong, and the light is well managed. Oct 26th
72 Oct 24 Comment Hi Barbara, I really like how you've captured this Emu. The image showcases the details of the Emu's feathers and eye beautifully. I'd suggest reducing the light in the lower part of the background, as the highlights draw attention; otherwise, it's a fantastic image of an Emu! Oct 26th
72 Oct 24 Comment Hi Bruce, this image of the pronghorn in its environment is well-captured, with the pronghorn standing out nicely against the surroundings due to the sharpness and detail of the animal. The colours are very appealing and create a beautiful contrast. If I could suggest one improvement, I'd recommend cropping a bit off the top of the image to place the pronghorn on the thirds-it could enhance the composition even further. Oct 26th
