15 Aug 24 Reply Thank you Sarita Aug 27th
15 Aug 24 Comment Kathy, beautiful image - seems to me the bird is smiling with its expressive eyes! I also like Isaac's enhancements. The lighter bird also enhances the reflection on the water. Could you give us details of camera settings and lens? It is useful to me as I am learning to photograph birds. Aug 20th
15 Aug 24 Comment Hi Sarita, so amazing we were in Galapagos the same month! I like this image very much - it is quite sharp and the composition and combination of colors is very nice. I agree with Kathy on eliminating the branch on the top right. Aug 20th
15 Aug 24 Comment Pei-Fan, I love the movement in the photo and the egret seems suspended on air. I like the composition as is, with blurred background but clear foliage on the left to show departing point. Quite sharp. Aug 20th
15 Aug 24 Comment Hi Jerry, great job and I like the composition too. Maybe I would crop on the right side and the bottom part to see the bird even closer. I like the enhancements by Isaac - it does make the bird stand out. Always hard with black subjects to see the details. Aug 20th
15 Aug 24 Comment Jim, what a nice image, I like the sense of movement and as you say the fact that that they are coordinated and at same focal distance. Very sharp - I like the intense eyes. I also like the reflections on the water. Aug 17th
15 Aug 24 Comment Hi Isaac, I really like the composition and also the sharpness of the eye. I agree with others on sharpening further or cropping the lower part of the image. I like the improvements by Kathy. Aug 17th

95 Aug 24 Comment Keith, I really like this image, and with the black background the flower looks suspended in space. Very pleasing, and I think you did achieve a high degree of sharpness throughout. I agree that the shorter petal distracts a bit the attention from the balance of the overall composition. Aug 17th
95 Aug 24 Comment Hi John, nice composition and quite sharp. I agree with others on the shadows on the face and also on removing the left bottom edge and maybe crop a bit more on the left side - Ieaving just a little bit of the yellow. Aug 17th
95 Aug 24 Reply Thanks Pat for feedback Aug 17th
95 Aug 24 Reply Thank you Margaret, beginning next month I will start practicing focus stacking Aug 17th
95 Aug 24 Comment Pat, great result given the difficult subject. The yellow background looks very nice with the lavender color. I also feel that perfecting focus stacking is a challenge…. I agree on cloning out the blurred area. Aug 13th
95 Aug 24 Comment Hi Stuart, quite a spectacular image. I love the colors. And the green in the eye combines with the other greens in the image. I am ok with blur on the fly as it give me a sense of action/movement. But I would like the leaf to be a bit sharper. Aug 13th
95 Aug 24 Comment Margaret, this is a wonderful result, looks almost like a painting.and has an abstract feeling to,it too. I love the color combination and the texture. I really need to learn focus stacking! Aug 13th
95 Aug 24 Reply Thank you Carol for the suggestion Aug 12th
95 Aug 24 Comment Carol, wow wow amazing sharpness. The frog seems made of porcelain. Great colors and texture too. And I think it is a flower that it is sitting on, and it is quite amazing too. I agree that toning down the highlights would make them less distracting. Aug 12th
95 Aug 24 Reply Thanks Carol, as mentioned to Stuart it was a macro capture, no cropping. The grey spots are the beginning of the decay of the petals and I thought they could also represent the impermanence narrative. I will try to recapture and clean it up a bot. Aug 10th
95 Aug 24 Reply Hi Stuart, thanks. Sorry for the confusion - what you call the original was a separate image to show the full flower. The image I presented was a macroshot, no cropping. Aug 10th
