71 Jul 25 Comment Very cool image Nigel. I agree with Spring you were lucky and ready to capture three vultures looking in the same direction and placed on the tree like they were posing for you. I find the image a little soft, but this can be due to the small size of image required for posting here.

71 Jul 25 Comment Mike, Dennis and Spring thank you for taking the time to comment and critique my image. I much appreciate your thoughts. Reading the comments, I guess a midway from the original the final version would be a better choice. Spring, due to the choice of relatively long shutter speed, it is not possible to get too much texture in the big waterfall. I have different images with different shutter speeds, but this one was the one more appealing to me.

Thank you all again

71 Jul 25 Comment Hi Dennis, this is a very nice cityscape image. I think the ferry is a strong composition element because it fill some of the empty space of the water. I think the black and white does it work, but I would be curious to see the color version too.

71 Jul 25 Comment John,

I think this is an excellent conceptual image. The sailing boat is a little one but to me represent the soul for people that love exploring the sea in harmony with the nature. Big cruise ships like that one are one of the worse source of pollution in the world. I can see your image as the hopebig cruise ship will disappear soon... After expressing my grumpy side, I have to say sorry for your loss of camera (I understand you since I lost my first Z-7 falling in the water...). However, your photo just show how good the phone camera are becoming. The image is sharp and I guess it has been taking with the zoom. Color are beautiful and so subject placement.

best wishes

71 Jul 25 Comment Nigel this is definitively an excellent composition perfectly rendering the serendipity of this scenery. I think the image is not particularly sharp. Did you take it with a phone? I also believe warming up a little the light would render it better.

Hope you are enjoying your trip

71 Jul 25 Comment Spring this is a "phenomenal" image of this spectacular event Mother Nature offers to us for free....I think this is a winning image in any context and would be stand out hanged on the wall.

71 Jul 25 Comment Tom, I personally know this location because we had a house at the Outer Banks for few years and love going around to photograph. I think you have done a good job it capturing the soul of this location. Roanoke Island was (and still is partially) a marsh and I think that walkaway is an important element. Technically the image follows the rule of thirds, is sharp, without being overdone, and it captures well the early light of the morning with blue skies and some clouds. All together in my humble opinion an excellent image.

71 Jul 25 Comment Nigel and Tom, thank you for submitting your feedback. I read them with interest. You are the first two people that have looked at this that prefer the original one. I think right now there is a trend to get black and white image with high contrast between black and white. I am experimenting to get the second kind of image. Nigel, I think you are right that in the first one there are many details, I would argue maybe too many! To me they would distract from the main subject. I also wanted to limited the sky because technically it competes with the water (two very bright subject in the same frame). Regardless, I appreciate your inputs as usual.

best wishes
