72 Nov 24 Comment I can't add much to the above comments except that I find the strong sense of place of this image very appealing. Nov 18th
72 Nov 24 Comment There is a place in the central coast of California, Morro Bay, that I love to visit and where a lot of fishing takes place and thus attract large numbers of sea lions. When I was there in last August, I saw a whole bunch of sea lions whose behaviors I observed with so much delight and joy. I like this portrait of the male and the females, particularly their different postures and facial expressions which seem to indicate their level of interest in the male when that moment was captured. The one directly below him seems to be begging for his attention. It's interesting how the story of a successful image can create other stories in the viewer's mind. Nov 18th
72 Nov 24 Comment I agree with the above comments. This is indeed an impressive capture of the eagle and the stunning sunset. The colors and the lighting and the appealing silhouette evoke feelings of calm and serenity. Nov 18th
72 Nov 24 Comment Thank you for the warm welcome, and thank you for your input. I agree with Bruce that the square crop, darkening the background and lightening the bird enhanced the image. Chris, I didn't use Topaz at all but, yes, I did increase the contrast of the bird after cropping. Thank you again and looking forward to learning with and from you all. Nov 15th
