Helen: Wow, there is so much going on with angles in this photo. But, at the end of the day, they all meld together and compliment each other which makes for a fantastic photo. The vignette certainly pulls your eye to the chair. Besides cloning the vegetation on the left, I would black out the upper right corner of the right window where the screen is torn. I would also darken the lower right screen and the torn screen above it so there is not as much contrast between the screened windows. |

Howard: What is not to love about this photo! The sharpness and clarity of both the bird and tree trunk is exemplary. And, the green bokeh is very pleasant to the eye as part of the photo or is that vegetation? |

Bob: Difficult to imagine taking a photo with all the circumstances that were involved. Taking that into consideration, this is definitely an above average photo. Sounds like you did quite a bit in post-processing, but certainly well worth it. Looks like there is a line about half-way down the mountain that extends the length of the photo. I am not sure what it is. Love what you did to bring out the motion of the water. |

Peter: This image definitely captures the essence of the game. The faces of the players are sharp and reflect their determination to win. The changes Howard did in Camera Raw are definitely a plus. If possible, I would not have cropped so close to the top of the photo or the left side for better balance. |

Lee Ann: There are so many wonderful comments to make about this photo. First, it is difficult to believe you were on a bus and took this image through the window. Kudos to you! The colors are very complimentary, and the details add to the beauty of everything in the photo. The left foot is a bit blurry and I find the two larger white spots on the left distracting. I see in your reply to Bob you have addressed this issue. In all, what a great story you have to tell about this great photo-op/1 |

This is a great photo Peter. Except for the hand, the monkey being groomed is in focus. I do agree with Bob's comment to lighten the shadows on the face of the grooming monkey along with using a higher f stop to enhance the sharpness of the monkey on the right including the hand. Did you do any post-processing with the photo? |

Thanks Frank. Yes, I was below the tiger. I understand the mathematics of being further away and using more zoom to get a more straight on photo. Great suggestion. As a beginner, you always think "closer", but your suggestion lends itself to much credence on the final effect of the photo. |

Thank you for your suggestion(s) Bob. I agree, a higher f-stop and/or a faster shutter speed would have given me a better photo. I will (try) try to remember this for future photos! |

Thank you Lee Ann. Your suggestion to add a vignette is absolutely something I will consider in the future. So much to learn, but I am having a "blast"! |

Thank you Helen. This tiger is at an animal preserve. He is in an enclosed nature environment, so there really is not a huge threat. You can get fairly close even with the wired fencing. The "trick" (as with any wild animal), is to capture the eyes with the correct camera setting(s). This particular photograph was one of the last ones I took since I was not getting much cooperation on the tiger's participation to be photographed that day. |
