16 Jul 21 Comment For birds in flight I need f8 for closer bigger birds. Those creatures are unpredictable. I agree that it is over processed for a nature category.

Thanks

16 Jul 21 Reply I didn't think about the dirt. You made a good choice. Jul 11th
16 Jul 21 Comment You certainly have used a creative touch to make a drab, almost monochrome image. Very successful. The new sky is well done and helps to create the mode you desire.

Of course more conventional touches are possible and I couldn't help trying I brightened the sky, greenery and building whites with a separate layer and masking in Photoshop.		 Jul 11th
16 Jul 21 Comment Beautiful shot of birds. The water looks very clean with few floating objects.

Lighting made some face parts dark. It looks like you have brightened the birds some, and more would be better if possible. Black and Shadows sliders in Lightroom would work.		 Jul 11th
16 Jul 21 Comment A great brilliant scene.

The building sides would be better vertical. You probably know that can be achieved by holding the camera horizontal. That requires zooming back and cropping off the bottom half of the photo but with the high resolution of your camera it would work. It can also be achieved in post processing using the Photoshop Perspective Crop Tool.

Excellent post processing.		 Jul 11th
16 Jul 21 Comment The large blank space of dirt is not good from a photo composition point of view, but it tells the story of how far down the jump it. You have made your statement and it is good.

It is good that the rider is not centered, side to side. The rider is traveling a bit to the right so it might look better to more space to the right to move into.

Good post processing to make the riders stand out. Escellent action shot.		 Jul 11th
16 Jul 21 Comment Here is something in between. I like a little room around the points of the inner flower and the center closer to thirds.

The shadows give the flower good depth. The colors are close to complementary, also good. Well seen, as I find reviews saying these days		 Jul 11th
